Collection of Ahadith - Ramzaan

Previous sins would be Forgiven:

1.    Abu Huraira (Radiyallahu Anhu):  reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) 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.  (Muslim Book #004, Hadith #1662)

2.    Abu Huraira (Radiyallahu Anhu):  reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) 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.  (Muslim Book #004, Hadith #1664)

Zakat-ul-Fitr

3.    Ibn Umar (Radiyallahu Anhu):   reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) prescribed Zakat-ul-Fitr of Ramadan one sa' of dates or one sa' of barley for every individual among the Muslims (whether) free man or slave, male or female, young or old.  (Muslim Book #005, Hadith #2153)

Lailat-ul Qadr  the twenty-seventh night (most probably)

4.       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  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 (may peace be upon him) commanded us to pray. It is that which precedes the morning of twenty-seventh and its indication is that the sun rises bright on that day without rays.  (Muslim Book #004, Hadith #1668)

Fasting Alternate Days(Nafil)

5.    Narrated Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'As: Allah's Apostle told me, "The most beloved prayer to Allah is that of David and the most beloved fasts to Allah are those of David. He used to sleep for half of the night and then pray for one third of the night and again sleep for its sixth part and used to fast on alternate days."  (Bukhari Book #21, Hadith #231)
