وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ، جَمِيعًا: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، ثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ أَبِي هِشَامٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
أُعْطِيَتْ أُمَّتِي خَمْسَ خِصَالٍ فِي رَمَضَانَ لَمْ تُعْطَهَا أُمَّةٌ قَبْلَهُمْ، خُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ، وَتَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ حَتَّى يُفْطِرُوا، وَيُزَيِّنُ اللهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ جَنَّتَهُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: يُوشِكُ عِبَادِي الصَّائِمُونَ أَنْ يُلْقُوا عَنْهُمُ الْمُؤْنَةَ وَالْأَذَى، وَيَصِيرُوا إِلَيْكِ، وَتُصَفَّدُ فِيهِ مَرَدَةُ الشَّيَاطِينِ، فَلَا يَخْلُصُونَ فِيهِ إِلَى مَا كَانُوا يَخْلُصُونَ فِي غَيْرِهِ، وَيُغْفَرُ لَهُمْ فِي آخِرِ لَيْلَةٍ، قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، هِيَ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: لَا، وَلَكِنَّ الْعَامِلَ إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى أَجْرَهُ إِذَا قَضَى عَمَلَهُ

✧ My community has been given five characteristics in Ramadan that were not given to any community before them: the bad breath of a fasting person is more fragrant to God than the scent of musk; the angels seek forgiveness for them until they break their fast; God beautifies His Paradise every day and then says: "My fasting servants are about to cast off their burden and harm and come to you"; the rebellious devils are chained in it so they cannot reach what they reach in other months; and they are forgiven on the last night. It was said: "O Messenger of God, is it the Night of Decree?" He ﷺ said: "No, but the worker is only given his full wage when he finishes his work."

هذا إسناد ضعيف
machine translationThis chain of transmission is weak (ḍaʿīf).

هشام بن أبي هشام هذا هو هشام بن زياد أبو المقدام وفيه ضعف ولكنه محتمل فيما يرويه من الفضائل
machine translationThis Hishām b. Abī Hishām is Hishām b. Ziyād Abū al-Miqdām. There is weakness (ḍaʿf) in him, but he is tolerable in what he narrates regarding virtuous deeds (faḍāʾil).
