أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَکِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هِشَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدِّثْنِي بِشَيْئٍ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ أَبِيکَ سَمِعَهُ أَبُوکَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْسَ بَيْنَ أَبِيکَ وَبَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحَدٌ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ نَعَمْ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَکَ وَتَعَالَی فَرَضَ صِيَامَ رَمَضَانَ عَلَيْکُمْ وَسَنَنْتُ لَکُمْ قِيَامَهُ فَمَنْ صَامَهُ وَقَامَهُ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا خَرَجَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ کَيَوْمِ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2216
An-Nadr bin Shaiban narrated that he met Abu Salamah bin ‘Abdur-Rahman and said to him: “Tell me of the best thing you heard about the month of Ramadan.” Abu Salamah said: “Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Awf told me that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم mentioned Ramadan and said that it is superior to other months, and he said: ‘Whoever spends the nights of Ramadan in prayer (Qiyam) out of faith and in the hope of reward, he will emerge from his sins as on the day his mother bore him.” (Da’if) Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa’l) said: This is a mistake, and what is Correct is “Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurairah.”
