465.Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Allah Ta'Ala has ordained fasting in
Ramadhan compulsory, and I have decreed (by the command of Allah) wakefulness at
night (i.e. Taraweeh, etc.) Sunnat. Whoever in the state of Imaan and the belief
of thawaab fasts in Ramadhan and stays awake at night (i.e. for taraweeh),
emerges from sin, purified as the day when his mother gave birth to him."
(Nisai).
(Hayaat-ul-Muslimeen. by Mohammad Ashraf Ali Thanvi).
466.Hadhrat Abu bin Umar (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Muhammad
(peace be upon him) said: "Fasting and the Qu'ran will intercede on behalf of
one on the Day of Qiyaamah. The Fast will proclaim: 'O Allah! I prevented him
from eating at carnal desire. Therefore for my sake accept my intercession on
his behalf.' The Qu'ran will proclaim: 'I prevented him from sleep. Therefore
accept my intercession on his behalf.' The intercession of both will be
accepted."
(Ahmad, Tibrani, Hakim).
(Hayaat-ul-Muslimeen. by Mohammad Ashraf Ali Thanvi).
467 Hadhrat Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with him) narrates, in a lengthy hadith,
that Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Fasting is exclusively for Allah
Ta'ala. The thawaab of it (being limitless) no one knows besides Allah Ta'ala."
(Tibrani, Baihaqi).
(Hayaat-ul-Muslimeen. by Mohammad Ashraf Ali Thanvi).
468.Hadhrat Abu Saeed Khudri (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Muhammad
(peace be upon him) said: "The doors of the Heavens are opened up on the first
night of Ramadhan. Not a single Door (among the Doors of Heaven) is then closed
until the last night of Ramadhan. For every Salaat performed (this refers to
Taraweeh Salaat) during the nights of Ramadhan, Allah Ta'ala records one and a
half thousand good deeds for every Sajdah (of the Salaat). And, for the fasting
person, Allah Ta'ala creates in Jannat a mansion of red Ya'koot (a precious
stone in Jannat). This mansion will have seven thousand entrances. (So huge will
these entrances be that in each entrance will be located) a palace of gold
adorned with red Ya'koot. When the Muslims fast the first day if Ramadhan, Allah
Ta'ala forgives all his sins committed from the first of the previous Ramadhan.
Daily (i.e. during Ramadhan) from the time of Fajr Salat until sunset, seventy
thousand Malaaikah supplicate for his forgiveness. In return for every Sajdah
which he (the fasting person) makes, of any Salat, whether during the day or
night, he will obtain (such a wonderful) tree (so huge) that a horseman will
take five hundred years to pass under its shade."
(Baihaqi).
