حَدَّثَنَا عَتَّابٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَجْوَدَ النَّاسِ وَكَانَ أَجْوَدَ مَا يَكُونُ فِي رَمَضَانَ حِينَ يَلْقَى جِبْرِيلَ وَكَانَ جِبْرِيلُ يَلْقَاهُ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَيُدَارِسُهُ الْقُرْآنَ قَالَ فَلَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَجْوَدُ بِالْخَيْرِ مِنْ الرِّيحِ الْمُرْسَلَةِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2616
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was the most generous of people, and he was at his most generous in Ramadan, when he met Jibreel, Jibreel would come to him every night in Ramadan and review the Qur'an with him. Then the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) ) was more generous in doing good than the blowing wind.
