Are You Looking For Great Treasures, O You, Fasting Person?
My fasting brother, I put between your hands great treasures about fasting, so
hasten to performing good deeds...
* Would you like to read a collective Hadith about the virtues of fasting? Abu
Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that the Messenger of Allah,
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, has said, ''Every deed of the son of
Adam is for him, a good deed would be multiplied receiving a tenfold to seven
hundredfold reward. Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, has said: With the
exception of fasting, for it is done for Me and I will give a reward for it,
for one abandons his passion, food and drink for My sake. There are two
occasions of joy for one who fasts, a joy when he breaks it, and a joy when he
meets his Lord, and the breath (of an observer of fast) is sweeter to Allah
than the fragrance of musk.'' [Authenticated by Al-Albani]
«كل عمل ابن آدم يضاعف ، الحسنة بعشر أمثالها إلى سبعمائة ضعف، إلى ما شاء الله،
قال الله عز وجل: إلا الصوم؛ فإنه لي، وأنا أجزي به، يدع شهوته وطعامه من أجلي،
للصائم فرحتان؛ فرحة عند فطره، وفرحة عند لقاء ربه، ولخلوف فمه أطيب عند الله من
ريح المسك» صححه الألباني
* Would you like that Allah forgives all your previous sins? Abu Hurairah, may
Allah be pleased with him, narrated that the Messenger of Allah, peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him, has said, ''Whoever establishes prayers during
the nights of Ramadan faithfully out of sincere faith and hoping to attain
Allah's rewards (not for showing off), all his past sins will be forgiven.''
[Reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
«من قام رمضان إيمانا و احتسابا غفر له ما تقدم من ذنبه» رواه البخاري ومسلم
And ''Whoever observes fasting in Ramadan faithfully out of sincere faith and
hoping to attain Allah's rewards (not for showing off), all his past sins will
be forgiven.'' [Reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
«من صام رمضان إيمانا و احتسابا غفر له ما تقدم من ذنبه» رواه البخاري ومسلم
* Would you like that Allah keeps your face away from Hellfire by a distance
covered by a journey of seventy years? Abu Sa'îd Al-Khudry narrated that the
Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, has said, ''Anyone who
fasts for one day for Allah's Pleasure, Allah will keep his face away from
Hellfire for (a distance covered by a journey of seventy years.'' [Reported by
Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
«من صام يوما في سبيل الله، باعد الله وجهه عن النار سبعين خريفا» رواه البخاري
ومسلم
* Would you like to invoke Allah in a time when invocations are not returned
but responded to? Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that
the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, has said, ''[There are]
three [persons] whose invocations are not refused: a fasting person, the
invocation of the oppressed, and the invocation of the traveler.''
[Authenticated by Al-Albani]
«ثلاث دعوات مستجابات: دعوة الصائم، و دعوة المظلوم، و دعوة المسافر» صححه
الألباني
* Would you like to have an intercessor who intercedes for you on the Day of
Resurrection? Abu Umâma Al-Bâhily narrated that he heard the Prophet, peace
and blessings of Allah be upon him, saying ''Recite the Quran, for on the Day
of Resurrection it will come as an intercessor for those who recite it...''
[Reported by Muslim]
«اقرؤوا القرآن فإنه يأتي يوم القيامة شفيعا لأصحابه» رواه مسلم
* Would you like that the reward for spending a whole night praying and
remembering Allah to be written for you? It is reported by Abu Zar that the
Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, has said, ''He who prays
with the Imam till he leaves, a night in prayers and remembering Allah will be
written for him (in his book of deeds).'' [Authenticated by Al-Albani]
«من قام مع الإمام حتى ينصرف كتب له قيام ليلة » صححه الألباني
* Would you like to get the same reward of a fasting person? Zaid Ibn Khalid
narrated that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, has said,
''Whoever breaks the fast of a fasting person will get his same reward without
decreasing anything from the reward of that fasting person.'' [Reported by At-Tirmidhi
and authenticated by Al-Albani]
«من فطر صائماً كان له مثل أجره غير أنه لا ينقص من أجر الصائم شيئاً» رواه
الترمذي وصححه الألباني
* Would you like to attain the same reward as a pilgrim to the Sacred House of
Allah with the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him? Ibn Abbas
narrated that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, has said
to an Ansari woman, ''Perform 'Umrah when Ramadan comes, for 'Umrah in Ramadan
is equal (in reward) to a pilgrimage.'' [Reported by Muslim]
«فإذا جاء رمضان فاعتمر فإن عمرة فيه تعدل حجة» رواه مسلم
* Would you like to pray in a night that is better than eighty three years and
four months? Allah Almighty has said, {The night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is better
than a thousand months (i.e. worshipping Allâh in that night is better than
worshipping Him a thousand months, i.e. 83 years and 4 months).} [Surat Al-Qadr
97:3]
{لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ} القدر: 3

Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that the Messenger of
Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, has said, ''in it (the month
of Ramadan) there is a night better than a thousand months, this who is
deprived of its virtue, verily he is deprived.'' [Reported by Ahmed and An-Nasâ'i]
«فيه ليلة خير من ألف شهر من حُرم خيرها فقد حرم» رواه أحمد والنسائي
* Would you like to give charity in a time where the Prophet, peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him, was used to giving a lot of charity? It is
reported in Sahih Al-Bukhari that ''the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah
be upon him, was the most generous of all people, and he used to reach the
peak in generosity in the month of Ramadan. He was even more generous than the
strong uncontrollable wind.''
«كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أجود الناس بالخير، وكان أجود ما يكون في رمضان،...كان
أجود بالخير من الريح المرسلة » رواه البخاري
* Would you like to keep a deserted Sunnah that contains a lot of good deeds
(fasting, praying, reciting, remembrance?). Ibn Omar narrated that ''The
Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, used to seclude himself in
the mosque (to perform the Sunnah of I'tikâf) in the last ten days of
Ramadan.'' [Reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
«كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يعتكف العشر الأواخر من رمضان» رواه البخاري
ومسلم
* Would you like to get the reward of a one who fasts perpetually? Abu Ayyűb
Al-Ansâri narrated that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah
be upon him, has said, ''He who observed the fast of Ramadan and then followed
it with six fasting days of Shawwâl, it would be as if he fasted
perpetually.'' [Reported by Muslim]
«من صام رمضان ثم أتبعه ستا من شوال كان كصيام الدهر» رواه مسلم

family and companions.
