Chapter 25: Encouragement to pray Qiyam during Ramadan, which is
Tarawih.
Abu Huraira reported
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
He who observed prayer at
night during Ramadan, because of faith and seeking his reward from Allah, his
previous sins would be forgiven. (Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 207)
Abu Huraira reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
used to exhort (his Companions) to pray (at night) during Ramadan without
commanding them to observe it as an obligatory act, and say: He who observed
the night prayer in Ramadan because of faith and seeking his reward (from
Allah), all his previous sins would be forgiven. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
died, this was the practice, and it continued thus during Abu Bakr's caliphate
and the early part of 'Umar's caliphate. (Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 208)
Abu Huraira reported
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
He who observed the fasts
of Ramadan with faith and seeking reward (from Allah), all his previous sins
would be forgiven, and he who observed prayer on Lailat-ul- Qadr with faith and
seeking reward (from Allah), all his previous sins would be forgiven. (Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 209)
Abu Huraira reported
Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying:
He who prayed on the
Lailat-ul-Qadr (the Majestic Night) knowing that it is (the same night). I
(believe) that he (the Prophet also) said: (He who does) it with faith and
seeking reward (from Allah), his sins would be forgiven. (Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 210)
'A'isha reported that the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed one night in the mosque and people also prayed
along with him. He then prayed on the following night and there were many
persons. Then on the third or fourth night (many people) gathered there, but
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not come out to them (for leading the Tarawih
prayer). When it was morning he said:
I saw what you were doing,
but I desisted to come to you (and lead the prayer) for I feared that this
prayer might become obligatory for you. (He the narrator) said: It was the
month of Ramadan. (Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 211)
'A'isha reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
came out during the night and observed prayer in the mosque and some of the
people prayed along with him. When it was morning the people talked about this
and so a large number of people gathered there. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went
out for the second night, and they (the people) prayed along with him. When it
was morning the people began to talk about it. So the mosque thronged with people
on the third night. He (the Holy Prophet) came out and they prayed along with
him. When it was the fourth night, the mosque was filled to its utmost capacity
but the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not come out. Some persons among then
cried:" Prayer." But the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not come to them
till he came out for the morning prayer. When he had completed the morning
prayer, he turned his face to the people and recited Tashahhud (I bear
testimony that there is no god but Allah and I bear testimony that Muhammad is
His Messenger) and then said: Your affair was not hidden from me in the night,
but I was afraid that (my observing prayer continuously) might make the night
prayer obligatory for you and you might be unable to perform it. (Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 212)
Zirr (b. Hubaish) reported:
I heard from Ubayy b. Ka'b
a statement made by 'Abdullah b. Mas'ud in which he said: He who gets up for
prayer (every night) during the year will hit upon Lailat-ul-Qadr. Ubayy said:
By Allah I there is no god but He, that (Lailat-ul-Qadr) is in Ramadhan (He
swore without reservation:) By Allah, I know the night; it is the night on
which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commanded us to pray. It is that which
precedes the morning of twenty-seventy and its indication is that the sun rises
bright on that day without rays. (Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 213)
Ubayy b Ka'b reported:
By Allah, I know about
Lailat-ul Qadr and I know it fully well that it is the twenty-seventh night
(during Ramadan) on which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commanded us to observe
prayer. (Shu'ba was in doubt about these words:" the night on which the
Messenger of Allah [may peace be upon him] commanded us to observe the
prayer." This has been transmitted to me by a friend of mine.) (Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 214)
Shu'ba reported
this hadith with the same chain of transmitters, but he made no mention that
Shu'ba was in doubt and what follows subsequently. (Sahih
Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 215)
