Virtue of the month of Ramadan
Hadith 394
أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَيُّوبَ، يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُبَشِّرُ أَصْحَابَهُ يَقُولُ: ((جَاءَكُمْ رَمَضَانُ شَهْرٌ مُبَارَكَ فَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ صِيَامَهُ، يُفْتَحُ فِيهِ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ، وَيُغْلَقُ فِيهِ أَبْوَابُ الْجَحِيمِ، وَتُغَلُّ فِيهِ الشَّيَاطِينُ، فِيهِ لَيْلَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ، مَنْ حُرِمَ خَيْرَهَا فَقَدْ حُرِمَ)).
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to give glad tidings to his noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) saying: “A blessed month, Ramadan, has come to you. Allah has made its fasting obligatory upon you. In it, the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are chained. In it, there is a night (Laylat al-Qadr) which is better than a thousand months (of worship). Whoever is deprived of its goodness has truly been deprived (in every respect).”
