Some Ahadith on Ramadhaan

Narrated Ibn Umar: I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “When you see the crescent (of the month of Ramadan), start fasting, and when you see the crescent (of the month of Shawwal), stop fasting; and if the sky is overcast (and you can’t see It) then regard the crescent (month) of Ramadan (as of 30 days)”. [Fasting  Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume 31 :: Hadith 124 ]

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah’s Apostle said, “When the month of Ramadhan comes, the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of the (Hell) Fire are closed, and the devils are chained.” [Beginning of Creation  Bukhari :: Book 4 :: Volume 54 :: Hadith 497 ]

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah’s Apostle said: “Whoever establishes prayers during the nights of Ramadan faithfully out of sincere faith and hoping to attain Allah’s rewards (not for showing off), all his past sins will be forgiven.”  [Belief  Bukhari :: Book 1 :: Volume 2 :: Hadith 36 ]

Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:

The Prophet was the most generous amongst the people, and he used to be more so in the month of Ramadan when Gabriel visited him, and Gabriel used to meet him on every night of Ramadan till the end of the month.

The Prophet said, “None of you should fast a day or two before the month of Ramadan unless he has the habit of fasting (Nawafil) (and if his fasting coincides with that day) then he can fast that day.” [Fasting  Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume 31 :: Hadith 138 ]
