It was the last night of Sha& #39;ban. The blessed month of Ramadan was right around the corner, and Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) addressed the Companions:
(A thread about the Prophet& #39;s lecture before Ramadan!)
(A thread about the Prophet& #39;s lecture before Ramadan!)
“O people! A great month has casted over you; a blessed month. In it, is a night which is better than a thousand months. Allah has obligated fasting within it and has kept the standing at night optional within it.
Who draws near in it by doing a Nafl act, he or she will be like the one who performs a fard act outside [Ramadan]. Who performs a fard act within it, he or she will be like who performs 70 fard acts outside of it. It& #39;s the month of patience which is rewarded with paradise.
It& #39;s the month of mutual consideration. It& #39;s a month in which the provisions of a believer are increased. Who feeds iftar to a fasting person will be saved and forgiven of his or her sins. He or she will get the reward of [the fast] without the [observer] losing any rewards.”
The Companions were eager for reward. However, many of them lived in poverty, so they asked the Prophet of Allah:
“Not all of us have the means to feed iftar to a fasting person.”
The Prophet of Allah empathetically elaborated:
“Not all of us have the means to feed iftar to a fasting person.”
The Prophet of Allah empathetically elaborated:
“Allah [even] gives this reward to a person who feeds a fasting person with a single date or a sip of water or milk (Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah: 1887).”
