بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah,
the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Salman رضى الله عنه reports, ''On the last day of Sha-baan
Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم addressed us and said, 'O people
there comes over you now a great month, a most blessed
month in which lies a night more greater in virtue than a thou-
sand months. It is a month in which Allah has made fasting
compulsory by day. And has made sunnah the Taraaweeh
by night. Whosoever intends drawing near to Allah by
performing any virtuous deed, for such person shall be the
reward like the one who had performed a fardh in any other
time. And whoever performs a fardh, shall be blessed with
the reward of seventy faraa-idh in any other time.
This is indeed the month of patience, and the reward for true
patience is Jannah (paradise). It is the month of sympathy with
one's fellowmen. It is the month wherein a true believer's Rizq
is increased. whosoever feeds another who fasted, in order to
break the fast (at sunset), for the feeder there shall be forgiven-
ness of sins and emancipation from the fire of Jahannam (hell),
and for such feeder shall be the same reward as the one who
fasted (who he fed) without that persons reward being
decreased in the least.''
Thereupon we said,'' O Messenger of Allah, not all of us possess
the means whereby we can give a fasting person to break his fast.''
Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم replied, ''Allah grants the same reward
to the one who gives a fasting person to break the fast a mere date,
or a drink of water, or a sip of milk.''
''This is a month, the first of which brings Allah's mercy, the middle
of which brings His forgiveness and the last of which brings emanci-
pation from the fire of Jahannam.''
''Whosoever lessens the burden of his servants (bondsmen) in this
month, Allah will forgive him and free him from the fire of Jahannam.''
''And in this month four things you should continue to perform in great
number, two of which shall be to please your Lord, while the other two
shall be those without which you cannot do. Those which shall be to
please your Lord, are that you should in great quantity bear witness
that there is no deity to worship except Allah (i.e. recite the Kalimah
Tayyibah Laa ilaaha illallah) and make much Istighfaar (beg Allah's
forgiveness with Astaghfirullah).'' And as for those without which
you cannot do, you should beg Allah, entrance into Jannah and
ask refuge in His from Jahannam.''
''And whoever gave a person who fasted water to drink, Allah shall
grant that giver to drink from My fountain, such a drink whereafter
that person shall never again feel thirsty until he enters Jannah.''
Reported by Ibn Khuzaimah in his 'Saheeh.
