Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 9008 — when Ramadan approached, the Messenger
حَدَّثَنَا الْمِقْدَامُ ، نَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ ، نَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ تَمِيمٍ ، مَوْلَى بَنِي زِمَّانَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ . عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - كَانَ إِذَا دَنَا رَمَضَانُ يَقُولُ : أَظَلَّكُمْ شَهْرُكُمْ هَذَا ، وَمَحْلُوفِ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - الَّذِي حَلَفَ بِهِ ، مَا مَرَّ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِثْلُهُ ، إِنَّ اللهَ لَيَكْتُبُ أَجْرَهُ وَنَوَافِلَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ وَيَكْتُبُ وِزْرَهُ وَشَقَاءَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ ؛ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يُعِدُّ نَفَقَتَهُ وَقُوتَهُ لِعِيَالِهِ ، وَإِنَّ الْفَاجِرَ يُعِدُّ لِغَفْلَةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَعَوْرَتِهِمْ ، فَهُوَ نِعْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ ، نِقْمَةٌ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Ramadan approached, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would say: "This month of yours is about to overshadow you, and by the oath of Abu al-Qasim (peace and blessings be upon him) by which he (peace and blessings be upon him) swore, no month like it has ever passed over the Muslims. Indeed, Allah Almighty writes his reward and the reward of his voluntary deeds before (the fasting person) enters this month, and writes his sin and his wretchedness before (the wretched one) enters it. The reason for this is that the believer prepares spending and provisions for his family (so that he is free for worship), while the wicked person prepares to exploit the heedlessness of the Muslims and their weak points. So this month is a blessing for the believer and a calamity for the disbelievers."
