Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(The narrator says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) swore an oath on this) that no time has come upon the Muslims that is better for them than Ramadan, and no month comes upon the hypocrites that is worse for them than the month of Ramadan. The reason is that in this month the believer prepares strength for worship, while in this month the hypocrite prepares (to exploit) the heedlessness and hidden affairs of people. So this month is a gain for the believers, and the wicked person is deceived with regard to it."
