FORTY AHADEETH PERTAINING TO RAMADAAN
HADEETH 1: THE MONTH OF FORGIVENESS Abu Huraira (r.a) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w) said: Whoever fasts during Ramadaan with imaan and seeking reward, all his previous sins will be forgiven; and whoever stays awake performing nafal salaah during Laylatul Qadr (the Night of Power) with imaan and seeking reward, all his previous sins will be forgiven. (Bukhari, Muslim) HADEETH 2: THE REWARD FOR FASTING Abu Huraira (r.a) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w) said: Every act of man is multiplied. One good act is multiplied between ten to seven hundred times. However Allah says: Except fasting because it is for Me and I shall compensate it. He gives up his passions and food for me. There are two moments of joy for the fasting person: (1) When he breaks his fast (2) When he meets his Sustainer. Certainly the breath of a fasting person is sweeter to Allah than the fragrance of musk. (Muslim) HADEETH 3: FAST A MEANS OF INTERCESSION Abdullah Bin Amr (r.a) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w) said: The fast and the Quraan will seek intercession for a person. The fast will say: O my sustainer I deprived him from food and fulfilling his desires during the day, allow me to intercede for him. The Quraan will say: I prevented him from sleep during the night, thus allow me to intercede for him, and intercession will be granted. (Shub-ulImaan) HADEETH 4: THE DEVILS ARE CHAINED DURING RAMADAAN Abu Huraira (r.a) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w) said: When the first night of Ramadaan

(Bukhari) HADEETH 6: FASTING IN THE PATH OF ALLAH Abu Saeed Al Khudari (r.a) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w) said: Whoever fasts a day in the path of Allah, Allah will keep his face at a distance of seventy years from the fire (of Jahannam). (Muslim) HADEETH 7: FASTING IN THE PATH OF ALLAH Abu Umamah (r.a) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w) said: Whosoever fasts a day in the path of Allah, Allah will place between him and the fire a ditch as wide as between the heaven and the earth. (Tirmizhi) HADEETH 8: FASTING WHILE ON JOURNEY Hamza Bin Amar Al-Aslami (r.a) enquired from the Holy Prophet (s.a.w): O Messenger of Allah, I find that I have the strength to fast while I am on a journey. Will there be any sin attached to me if I fast?The Holy Prophet (s.a.w) said It is a concession from Allah. Whoever accepts such a concession has done good, and whoever loves to fast, then there is no sin attached to him. (Muslim) HADEETH 9: UMRAH DURING RAMADAAN

HADEETH 19: THE VIRTUES OF IFTAAR Abu Huraira (r.a) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w) said: For everything there is zakaat (purification). And the zakaat (purification) of the body is fasting. (Ibn Maja)

Abu Huraira (r.a) narrates that the Holy Prophet
(s.a.w) said: Three persons duaas are not rejected; a just ruler, a fasting person until he breaks his fast, and an oppressed person, whose duaa is lifted above the clouds and the doors of the heavens opens for it and Allah the Almighty says: I swear by my honour, certainly I will assist you, even though it may be after some time.

committed during Ramadaan), and also as a
provision for the poor. Whoever discharges it (zakaat-ul fitr) before the salaah (of Eid); it will be accepted by Allah. And whoever discharges it (zakaat-ul fitr) after the salaah (of Eid); it will merely be regarded as an ordinary sadaqah.

Virtues of compiling forty Ahadeeth
It has been transmitted to us on the authority of Ali bin Abi Talib, Abdullah bin Masud, Muadh bin Jabal, Abu alDarda, Ibn 'Umar, Ibn Abbas, Anas bin Malik, Abu Hurairah and Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with them all, through many chains of authorities and in various versions, that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, said:"Whosoever memorises and preserves for my community forty Ahadeeth concerning matters of this religion, Allah will resurrect him on the Day of Judgment in the company of jurists and religious scholars. In another version, this Hadeeth reads: "Allah will resurrect him as a jurist and religious scholar. In the version of Abu al-Darda, it reads: "On the Day of Judgment I shall be an intercessor and a witness for him. In the version of Ibn Mas'ud, it reads: "It will be said to him: Enter paradise by whichever gate you wish. Sheikh Muhammed Ishaaq Gaibee [may Allah preserve him] born and brought up in South Africa began studying the sacred sciences at an early age. After having completed the memorization of the Quran at the age of 14, for the next seven years he would go on to study Arabic [and all its related sciences becoming fluent in the Arabic language], Tafsir, Hadeeth, Aqidah and Fiqh. Having studied under senior scholars from South Africa and the Indian Subcontinent and receiving ijazah from them, he went on to lecture at various Institutions in South Africa. Sheikh Muhammed Ishaaq Gaibee has travelled extensively throughout the world for the purpose of Dawah and teaching. Some of the countries he has visited include various Central African nations, United Kingdom, USA, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Germany, UAE and Turkey. His travels and lectures have been a means of great inspiration to many across the globe. He is a very devoted scholar who enjoys the work he does and strives to make people achieve their goal to their full potential. He has compiled the forty Ahadeeth pertaining to Ramadaan keeping in mind the beautiful Ahadeeth of Nabi (S.A.W) as mentioned above. Muhadditheen are the people of Rasulu (Alayhis salaam), although they did not get the company of Rasool (Alayhis salaam) but their company is with the sacred breath and noble words of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam). May Allah grant the compiler his reward in this world and in the hereafter and make this a means of salvation from Jahanam for the compiler, his parents, wife, children, relatives, friends and the Muslim ummah at large. May Allah grant him barakah in his time, wealth and sustenance and grant him a death with Imaan in the holy city of Madina Munawara. (Aameen)
