"عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ حَكِيمٍ قَالَ: كَانَ عُمَرُ بِنُ الْخَطَّابِ يَقُولُ إِذَا دَخَلَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ: أَلَا إِنَّ هَذَا شَهْرٌ كَتَبَ اللهُ علَيْكُمْ صَيَامَهُ، وَلَمْ يَكْتُبْ قِيَامَهُ، فَمَنْ (قَامَ) مِنْكُمْ (فَإِنَّهُ) مِنْ نَوَافِلِ الْخَيْرِ الَّتِي قَالَ اللهُ - ﷻ - وَمَنْ لَا فَلْيَنَمْ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ، وَلْيَتَّقِ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَقُولَ: أَصُومُ إِنْ صَام فُلانٌ، أَوْ أَقُومُ إِنْ قَامَ فُلانٌ، مَنْ صَامَ أَوْ قَامَ فلْيَجْعَلْ ذَلِكَ لله، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَيْه فَقَالَ: أَلَا لَا يَتَقَدَّمِ الشَّهْرَ مِنكُمْ أَحَدٌ، أَلَا لَا تَصُومُوا حَتَّى تَرَوْهُ، فَإِنْ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَأَتِمُّوا الْعِدَّةَ ثَلَاثِينَ، وَأَقِلُّوا اللَّغْوَ في مَسَاجِدِكُمْ، وَلْيَعْلَمْ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنَّهُ فِي صَلَاةٍ مَا انَتظَرَ الصَّلَاةَ، أَلَا وَلَا تُفْطِرُوا حتَّى تَرَوا اللَّيْلَ يَغْسِقُ عَلَى الظِّرَابِ".

"Narrated from 'Abd Allah ibn Hakim: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab used to say when the month of Ramadan came: Beware, this is a month whose fasting Allah has prescribed for you, but He did not prescribe its night prayer. So whoever among you (stands in prayer), then (it is) of the voluntary good deeds which Allah ﷻ mentioned; and whoever does not, let him sleep on his bed. And let none of you say: 'I will fast if so-and-so fasts, or I will stand in prayer if so-and-so stands.' Whoever fasts or stands in prayer, let him make it for Allah. Then he raised his hands and said: Beware, let none of you precede the month. Beware, do not fast until you see the crescent, and if it is obscured for you, then complete the count to thirty. Reduce idle talk in your mosques. Let each of you know that he is in prayer as long as he is waiting for the prayer. Beware, do not break the fast until you see the night darkening over the mountain tops."
