Hadith 8870

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ المُبَارَكٍ ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ تَمِيمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَظَلَّكُمْ شَهْرُكُمْ هَذَا ، لَمَحْلُوفُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ، مَا مَرَّ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ شَهْرٌ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ مِنْهُ ، وَلَا بِالْمُنَافِقِينَ شَهْرٌ شَرٌّ لَهُمْ مِنْهُ ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَيَكْتُبُ أَجْرَهُ وَنَوَافِلَهُ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ ، وَيَكْتُبُ إِصْرَهُ وَشَقَاءَهُ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ ، وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يُعِدُّ فِيهِ الْقُوَّةَ لِلْعِبَادَةِ مِنَ النَّفَقَةِ ، وَيُعِدُّ الْمُنَافِقُ اتِّبَاعَ غَفْلَةِ النَّاسِ ، وَاتِّبَاعَ عَوْرَاتِهِمْ ، فَهُوَ غُنْمٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ يَغْتَنِمُهُ الْفَاجِرُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This month has cast its shadow over you. By Allah, the Prophet swears that no month casts its shadow over the Muslims better than the month of Ramadan, and no month is harsher upon the hypocrites than Ramadan. Allah Almighty begins to write its reward and voluntary acts before its arrival, and He also begins to write the persistence of the hypocrites in their sins and their wretchedness beforehand. The reason for this is that Muslims prepare strength for worship in this month, while the hypocrites seek out people's heedlessness and faults. Thus, this month is a bounty for the Muslim, over which the sinful people are envious.
