“Every good deed of the son of Adam will be multiplied manifold.
A
good deed will be multiplied ten times up to as many as seven
hundred
times, or as much as Allah wills. Allah says: ‘Except for
fasting,
which is for Me and I shall reward for it. He gives up his
desire and
his food for My sake.’ The fasting person has two joys, one
when he
breaks his fast and another when he meets his Lord. The smell
that
comes from the mouth of a fasting person is better before Allah
than
the fragrance of musk.”
Sunan Ibn Majah 1373
Mutarrif, from the tribe of Banu ‘Amir bin Sa’sa’ah narrated
that
‘Uthman bin Abul-‘As Ath-Thaqafi invited him to drink some
milk that
he poured for him. Mutarrif said:
“I am fasting.”
‘Uthman said: “I
heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘Fasting
is a shield against
the Fire just like the shield of anyone of you
against fighting.’”
Sunan Ibn Majah 1374
It was
narrated from Sahl bin Sa’d that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ، حَدَّثَنِي هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ:
" إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ بَابًا يُقَالُ لَهُ الرَّيَّانُ يُدْعَى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يُقَالُ: أَيْنَ الصَّائِمُونَ؟ فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنَ الصَّائِمِينَ دَخَلَهُ وَمَنْ دَخَلَهُ لَمْ يَظْمَأْ أَبَدًا " .
“In
Paradise there is a gate called Rayyan. On the Day of Resurrection
the
call will go out saying: ‘Where are those who used to fast?’
Whoever
is among those who used to fast will enter it, and whoever
enters it
will never experience thirst again.”
Sunan Ibn Majah 1375

‘Whoever fasts Ramadan out of faith and the hope of reward will
be
forgiven his previous sins.”
Sunan Ibn Majah 1376

narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“When the first night of Ramadan comes, the satans and
mischievous
jinns are chained up, and the gates of the Fire are
closed, and none
of its gates are opened. The gates of Paradise are
opened and none of
its gates are closed. And a caller cries out: ‘O
seeker of good,
proceed, O seeker of evil, stop.’ And Allah has necks
(people) whom
He frees (from the Fire), and that happens every day.”
Sunan Ibn Majah 1377

" إِنَّ هَذَا الشَّهْرَ قَدْ حَضَرَكُمْ وَفِيهِ لَيْلَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ مَنْ حُرِمَهَا فَقَدْ حُرِمَ الْخَيْرَ كُلَّهُ وَلاَ يُحْرَمُ خَيْرَهَا إِلاَّ مَحْرُومٌ " .
“Ramadan began, and the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘This month has come to you, and in

its goodness except one who is truly deprived.’”

“We were with ‘Ammar on

let him do so, and whoever wants to wait until Ramadan
begins, let him
do so.’”

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالاَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ أَبِي هِلاَلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَوَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، - رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الأَشْهَلِ وَقَالَ: عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ - قَالَ: أَغَارَتْ عَلَيْنَا خَيْلُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَهُوَ يَتَغَدَّى فَقَالَ: " ادْنُ فَكُلْ " . قُلْتُ: إِنِّي صَائِمٌ . قَالَ: " اجْلِسْ أُحَدِّثْكَ عَنِ الصَّوْمِ أَوِ الصِّيَامِ . إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَضَعَ عَنِ الْمُسَافِرِ شَطْرَ الصَّلاَةِ وَعَنِ الْمُسَافِرِ وَالْحَامِلِ وَالْمُرْضِعِ الصَّوْمَ أَوِ الصِّيَامَ " . وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ قَالَهُمَا النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ كِلْتَاهُمَا أَوْ إِحْدَاهُمَا فَيَا لَهْفَ نَفْسِي فَهَلاَّ كُنْتُ طَعِمْتُ مِنْ طَعَامِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ .
“The
cavalry of
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) attacked us, so I came to the
Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) while he was eating a meal. He said: ‘Come
and eat.’ I
said: ‘I am fasting.’ He said: ‘Sit down and I
will tell you about
fasting. Allah has relieved the traveler of half
of the prayer, and He
has relieved the traveler, the pregnant, and
the nursing mothers of
the duty to fast.’ By Allah, the Prophet
(ﷺ) said them, both, or one
of them, and now I feel so disappointed
that I had not eaten of the
food of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).”
Sunan Ibn Majah 1402

(ﷺ)

“A man came to the Prophet
(ﷺ)
and said: ‘I am doomed.’ He said: ‘Why are you doomed?’ He

consecutive months.’ He said: ‘I cannot.’ He
said: ‘Feed sixty poor
persons.’ He said: ‘I cannot.’ He
said: ‘Sit down.’ So he sat down,
and while doing so a basketful
of dates was brought. The Prophet (ﷺ)
said: ‘Go and give this in
charity.’ He said: ‘O Messenger of Allah,
by the One Who sent you
with the truth, there is no household between
its two lava fields
(i.e., in Al-Madinah) that is more in need of it
than us.’ He said:
‘Then go and feed your family.’” Another chain from Abu Hurairah with additional words: "Then he (the Prophet SAW) said: "And fast a day in its place."

[(One of the narrators) Abu Ishaq said: “The Hadith of Hudhaifah is
abrogated and does not mean anything.”]
Sunan Ibn Majah 1430
It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said:
“The Adhan of Bilal should not prevent anyone of you
from
eating Suhur, for he gives the Adhan to alert those among you
who are
asleep, and so that anyone who is praying can prepare himself
for
fasting. The Fajr does not come in this manner, rather it comes
in
this manner, and it appears along the horizon.”
Sunan Ibn Majah 1431
It was
narrated from Sahl bin Sa’d that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ:
" لاَ يَزَالُ النَّاسُ بِخَيْرٍ مَا عَجَّلُوا الْإِفْطارَ " .
“The
people will remain upon goodness as long as they hasten to break
their
fast.”
Sunan Ibn Majah 1432
It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" لاَ يَزَالُ النَّاسُ بِخَيْرٍ مَا عَجَّلُوا الْفِطْرَ. عَجِّلُوا الْفِطْرَ، فَإِنَّ الْيَهُودَ يُؤَخِّرُونَ " .
"The people will remain upon goodness so long as they hasten to
break the fast. Hasten to break the fast, for the Jews delay it."
Sunan Ibn Majah 1433
Salman
bin ‘Amr narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
"When
any one of you breaks his fast, let him break it with dates. If
he
cannot find dates, then let him break it with water, for it is a
means of purification."
Sunan Ibn Majah 1434
It was
narrated from Hafsah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ الْقَطَوَانِيُّ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ حَازِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ، قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" لاَ صِيَامَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَفْرِضْهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ " .
"There
is no fast for the one who did not make it incumbent upon
himself
from the night before."
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
would
enter upon me and say: ‘Do you have anything (any food)?’ If we
said: ‘No,’ he would say: ‘Then I am fasting.’ So he would
continue
fasting, then it we were given some food, he would break his
fast.”
She said: “Sometimes he would fast and (then) break fast
(i.e.,
combine fasting and breaking fast in one day).” I said: “How
is that?”
She said: “Like the one who goes out with charity
(i.e., something to
give in charity),and he gives some away and keeps
some.”
Sunan Ibn Majah 1436
It was
narrated that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr Al-Qari said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ جَعْدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْقَارِيِّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ لاَ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ مَا أَنَا قُلْتُ:
" مَنْ أَصْبَحَ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ فَلْيُفْطِرْ " . مُحَمَّدٌ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَهُ .
“I heard Abu
hurairah say: ‘No, by the Lord of the Ka’bah! I did not say:
“Whoever
wakes up in a state of sexual impurity (and wants to fast)
then he
must not fast.” Muhammad (ﷺ) said it.’”
Sunan Ibn Majah 1437
It was
narrated that ‘Aishah said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَبِيتُ جُنُبًا. فَيَأْتِيهِ بِلاَلٌ، فَيُؤْذِنُهُ بِالصَّلاَةِ فَيَقُومُ فَيَغْتَسِلُ. فَأَنْظُرُ إِلَى تَحَدُّرِ الْمَاءِ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ. ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ فَأَسْمَعُ صَوْتَهُ فِي صَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ . قَالَ مُطَرِّفٌ: فَقُلْتُ لِعامِرٍأفِي رَمَضَانَ؟ قَالَ رَمَضَانُ وَغَيْرُهُ سَوَاءٌ .
“The Prophet (ﷺ) used to spend
the
night in a state of sexual impurity, then Bilal would come to him
and
inform him that it is time for prayer. So he would get up and have
a
bath, and I would see the water dripping from his head, then he
would
go out and I would hear his voice during Fajr prayer.” (One of the narrators) Mutarrif said: "I said to Amir: 'Was that during Ramadan?' He said: 'In
Ramadan and at other times.'"
Sunan Ibn Majah 1438
It was
narrated that Nafi’ said:
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ، يُصْبِحُ، وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ، يُرِيدُ الصَّوْمَ؟ قَالَتْ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يُصْبِحُ جُنُبًا مِنَ الْوِقَاعِ، لاَ مِنِ احْتِلاَمٍ، ثُمَّ يَغْتَسِلُ وَيُتِمُّ صَوْمَهُ .
“I asked Umm Salamah about a man who
gets up in the morning when he is in a state of sexual impurity and
wants to fast. She said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to get
up
in the morning in a state of sexual impurity after having
intercourse,
not from a wet dream, then he would take a bath and
complete his
fast.’”
Sunan Ibn Majah 1439
It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Shikhkhir that his father said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" مَنْ صَامَ الأَبَدَ، فَلاَ صَامَ وَلاَ أَفْطَرَ " .
“The
Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘Whoever fasts continually, he neither fasts
nor breaks his fast.’”
Sunan Ibn Majah 1440
It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said:

" لاَ صَامَ مَنْ صَامَ الأَبَدَ " .
“There is no fasting for one who fasts continually.”
Sunan Ibn Majah 1441
It was
narrated from ‘Abdul-Malik bin Minhal, from his father that:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ الْمِنْهَالِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ بِصِيَامِ الْبِيضِ ثَلاَثَ عَشْرَةَ وَأَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ وَخَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ وَيَقُولُ:
" هُوَ كَصَوْمِ الدَّهْرِ أَوْ كَهَيْئَةِ صَوْمِ الدَّهْرِ " .
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا حَبَّانُ بْنُ هِلاَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ بْنِ مِلْحَانَ الْقَيْسِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ نَحْوَهُ . قَالَ: ابْنُ مَاجَهْ أَخْطَأَ شُعْبَةُ وَأَصَابَ هَمَّامٌ .
The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to enjoin fasting the bright days –
the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth (when the moon is full). He
said: “It is like fasting for a lifetime.” Another chain from 'Abdul-Malik bin Qatadah bin Malhan Al-Qaisi, from his father, from the Prophet (ﷺ) with similar wording. Ibn Majah said: Shu'bah erred (in the name of one of the narrators)and Hammam was correct.
Sunan Ibn Majah 1442
It was
narrated from Abu Dharr that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي سَهْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الأَحْوَلِ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " مَنْ صَامَ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ فَذَلِكَ صَوْمُ الدَّهْرِ " . فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ تَصْدِيقَ ذَلِكَ فِي كِتَابِهِ {مَنْ جَاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ عَشْرُ أَمْثَالِهَا} فَالْيَوْمُ بِعَشْرَةِ أَيَّامٍ .
“Whoever fasts three days in every month, that is fasting for a
lifetime.” Then, in testimony of that, Allah revealed: “Whoever
brings
a good deed shall have ten time the like thereof to his
credit.”
So one day is equivalent to ten (in reward).
Sunan Ibn Majah 1443
It was
narrated from Mu’adhah Al-‘Adawiyyah that ‘Aishah said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ الرِّشْكِ، عَنْ مُعَاذَةَ الْعَدَوِيَّةِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَصُومُ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ . قُلْتُ مِنْ أَيِّهِ؟ قَالَتْ: لَمْ يَكُنْ يُبَالِي مِنْ أَيِّهِ كَانَ .
“The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to fast three days of each month.” I
said: “Which were they?” She said: “He did not care which days
they
were.”
“I asked ‘Aishah about the
fasting of the Prophet (ﷺ). She said: ‘He used to fast until we
thought he would always fast. And he used to not fast until we
thought
he would always not fast. I never saw him fast more in any
month than
in Sha’ban. He used to fast all of Sha’ban; he used to
fast all of
Sha’ban except a little.’”
Sunan Ibn Majah 1445
It was
narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ: لاَ يُفْطِرُ. وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ: لاَ يَصُومُ . وَمَا صَامَ شَهْرًا مُتَتَابِعًا إِلاَّ رَمَضَانَ، مُنْذُ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ .
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
used
to fast until we thought he would never stop fasting. And he used
to
not fast until we thought we would never fast. And he never fasted
any complete month apart from Ramadan, from the time he came to
Al-
Madinah.”
Sunan Ibn Majah 1446
It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said:
“The most beloved fast to Allah is the fast of Dawud,
for
he used to fast one day and not the next. And the most beloved of
prayer to Allah is the prayer of Dawud; he used to sleep half of the
night, pray one-third of the night and sleep one-sixth of the night.”
“Umar bin Khattab said: ‘O
Messenger of Allah! What about a person who fasts two days and does
not fast one day?’ He said: ‘Is anyone able to do that?’ He
said: ‘O
Messenger of Allah! What about a person who fasts one day
and not the
next?’ He said: ‘That is the fast of Dawud.’ He
said: ‘What about a
man who fasts one day and does not fast the
next two days?’ He said:
‘I wish that I were given the ability to
do that.’”
Sunan Ibn Majah 1448
It was
narrated from Abu Firas that he heard ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr say:

" صَامَ نُوحٌ الدَّهْرَ إِلاَّ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ وَيَوْمَ الأَضْحَى " .

heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘(Prophet) Nuh fasted for a
lifetime, except for the Day of Fitr and the Day of Adha.’”
Sunan Ibn Majah 1449
It was
narrated from Thawban, the freed slave of the Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ), that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

six
days after the Fitr will have completed the year, for whoever does

it
is as if he fasted for a lifetime.”
Sunan Ibn Majah 1451
It was
narrated from Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحِ بْنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ، أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْهَادِ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ أَبِي عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ

" مَنْ دُعِيَ إِلَى طَعَامٍ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ فَلْيُجِبْ فَإِنْ شَاءَ طَعِمَ وَإِنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ " .

It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
There are three whose supplications are not turned back: A just
ruler, and a fasting person until he breaks his fast. And, the
supplication of one who has been wronged is raised by Allah up to the
clouds on the Day of Resurrection, and the gates of heaven are opened
for it, and Allah says, ‘By My Might I will help you (against the
wrongdoer) even if it is after a while.’”
Sunan Ibn Majah 1487

'Amr say: 'O Allah! I ask You by Your mercy, which encompasses all things, to forgive me.'"

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَعْتَكِفَ صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْمَكَانَ الَّذِي يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَعْتَكِفَ فِيهِ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَعْتَكِفَ الْعَشْرَ الأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَأَمَرَ فَضُرِبَ لَهُ خِبَاءٌ فَأَمَرَتْ عَائِشَةُ بِخِبَاءٍ فَضُرِبَ لَهَا وَأَمَرَتْ حَفْصَةُ بِخِبَاءٍ فَضُرِبَ لَهَا فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ زَيْنَبُ خِبَاءَهُمَا أَمَرَتْ بِخِبَاءٍ فَضُرِبَ لَهَا فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ
" آلْبِرَّ تُرِدْنَ " . فَلَمْ يَعْتَكِفْ فِي رَمَضَانَ وَاعْتَكَفَ عَشْرًا مِنْ شَوَّالٍ .
“When the Prophet (ﷺ) wanted to
start I’tikaf, he would pray the Subh, then he would enter the
place
where he wanted to observe I’tikaf. He wanted to spend the
last ten
days of Ramadan in I’tikaf, so he ordered that a tent be
set up for
him.” Then ‘Aishah ordered that a tent be set up for
her, and Hafash
ordered that a tent be set up for her. When Zainab
saw their two
tents, she also ordered that a tent be set up for her.
When the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saw that, he said: “It is
righteousness that
you seek?” Then he did not observe I’tikaf
during Ramadan, and he
observed I’tikaf during ten days of Shawwal.

back.

the wife
of the Prophet (ﷺ), two men from among the Ansar passed by
them.
They greeted the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) with peace, then went

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ الْحِزَامِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ مُوسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيَىٍّ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَنَّهَا جَاءَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ تَزُورُهُ وَهُوَ مُعْتَكِفٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فِي الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَتَحَدَّثَتْ عِنْدَهُ سَاعَةً مِنَ الْعِشَاءِ ثُمَّ قَامَتْ تَنْقَلِبُ فَقَامَ مَعَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقْلِبُهَا حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَتْ بَابَ الْمَسْجِدِ الَّذِي كَانَ عِنْدَ مَسْكَنِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مَرَّ بِهِمَا رَجُلاَنِ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَسَلَّمَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ثُمَّ نَفَذَا فَقَالَ لَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " عَلَى رِسْلِكُمَا إِنَّهَا صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ حُيَىٍّ " . قَالاَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَكَبُرَ عَلَيْهِمَا ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَجْرِي مِنِ ابْنِ آدَمَ مَجْرَى الدَّمِ وَإِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَقْذِفَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمَا شَيْئًا " .
“Take it easy, she is
Safiyyah bint
Huyai.” They said: “Glorious is Allah, O Messenger
of Allah!” And they
were very upset by that (i.e., that he thought
they may have some
doubts). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The
Satan flows through
the son of Adam like blood, and I was afraid that
he might cast some
doubt into your hearts.”
Sunan Ibn Majah 1514
‘Aishah
said:
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الصَّبَّاحِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، قَالَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ اعْتَكَفَتْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ فَكَانَتْ تَرَى الْحُمْرَةَ وَالصُّفْرَةَ فَرُبَّمَا وَضَعَتْ تَحْتَهَا الطَّسْتَ .
“One of the wives of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
observed
I’tikaf with him, and she used to see red and yellow
discharge, and
sometime she would put a basin beneath her.”
Sunan Ibn Majah 1515
It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that:
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ مُوسَى الْبُخَارِيُّ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ الْعَمِّيِّ، عَنْ فَرْقَدٍ السَّبَخِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ فِي الْمُعْتَكِفِ
" هُوَ يَعْكِفُ الذُّنُوبَ وَيُجْرَى لَهُ مِنَ الْحَسَنَاتِ كَعَامِلِ الْحَسَنَاتِ كُلِّهَا " .
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said
concerning the person observing I’tikaf. “He is refraining from
sin and he will be given a reward like that of one who does all kinds
of good deeds.”
Sunan Ibn Majah 1516
It was
narrated from Abu Umamah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْمَرَّارُ بْنُ حَمُّويَهْ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّى، حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، عَنْ ثَوْرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ
" مَنْ قَامَ لَيْلَتَىِ الْعِيدَيْنِ لِلَّهِ مُحْتَسِبًا لَمْ يَمُتْ قَلْبُهُ يَوْمَ تَمُوتُ الْقُلُوبُ " .
“Whoever
spends the nights of the two ‘Eid in praying voluntary prayers,
seeking reward from Allah, his heart will not die on the Day when
hearts will die.”
