Hadith on Ramadan: The virtue of fasting during Ramadan and praying during the Night of Decree

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, “Whoever fasts the month of Ramadan out of faith and seeking reward, then Allah will forgive all of his previous sins; and whoever stands in prayer during the Night of Decree out of faith and seeking reward, then Allah will forgive all of his previous sins.”

[Sahih Muslim, Book 4, Number 1664]

أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ حَدَّثَهُمْ  أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَمَنْ قَامَ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ

Hadith on Night Prayer: The virtue of night prayer in the month of Ramadan

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, would encourage standing for night prayer in the month of Ramadan without making it an obligation, and he would say, “Whoever stands in the night prayer during Ramadan out of faith and seeking his reward, then all of his previous sins will be forgiven.” When the Messenger of Allah died, this became a regular practice and continued throughout the Caliphate of Abu Baker and Umar.

[Sahih Muslim, Book 4, Number 1663]

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُرَغِّبُ فِي قِيَامِ رَمَضَانَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَأْمُرَهُمْ فِيهِ بِعَزِيمَةٍ فَيَقُولُ مَنْ قَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ فَتُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالْأَمْرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ كَانَ الْأَمْرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فِي خِلَافَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَصَدْرًا مِنْ خِلَافَةِ عُمَرَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ

Hadith on Praise: The reward for praising Allah during prayer is forgiveness of minor sins

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, “When the prayer leader says, ‘Allah listens to those who praise him,’ you should say, ‘O Allah, our Lord for You is the praise.’ If anyone says this when the angels say it, then his previous (minor) sins will be forgiven.”

[Sahih Muslim, Book 4, Number 809]

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا قَالَ الْإِمَامُ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فَقُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ وَافَقَ قَوْلُهُ قَوْلَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ
