Collection of Hadith: Ramadan

Narrated by Abu Said: I heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) saying, "Indeed, anyone who fasts for one day for Allah's pleasure, Allah will keep his face away from the (Hell) fire for (a distance covered by a journey of) seventy years." [Bukhari Hadith 93 Volume 4, Book 52]

Abu Huraira related that the Prophet said: Allah the Majestic and Exalted said: "Every deed of man will receive ten to 700 times reward, except Siyam (fasting), for it is for Me and I shall reward it (as I like). There are two occasions of joy for one who fasts: one when he breaks the fast and the other when he will meet his Lord" (Muslim).

Narrated by Abu Said: I heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) saying, "Indeed, anyone who fasts for one day for Allah's pleasure, Allah will keep his face away from the (Hell) fire for (a distance covered by a journey of) seventy years." [Bukhari Hadith 93 Volume 4, Book 52]


Abu Hurayrah r.a. narrated that Prophet Muhammad s.a.w said: "Ramadan, a blessed month, has come to you during which Allah has made it obligatory for you to fast. In it the gates of Heaven are opened, the gates of al-Jahim are locked, and the rebellious devils are chained. In it Allah has a night which is better than a thousand months. He who is deprived of its good has indeed suffered deprivation." (Hadith - Al-Tirmidhi)


“There is a gate in Paradise called Ar-Raiyan, and those who observe fasts will enter through it on the Day of Resurrection"[Sahih Bukhari]


Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) said: “Fasting is a shield; it will protect you from the hellfire and prevent you from sins.” (Sahih Bukhari Vol. 3)

Abu Huraira related that Rasulullah said: If anyone omits his fast even for one day in Ramadan without a concession or without being ill, then if he were to fast for the rest of his life he could not make up for it (Bukhari)

Whoever observes the Ramadan fast and follows it with six days of fast in Shawwal, it is as if he has fasted Dahr (the whole year)." [Bukhari]

Abu Umaamah R.A.A. said: 

I said: 'O Messenger of Allah (saw), tell me of an action by which I may enter Paradise'. He said: 'Take to Fasting, there is nothing like it.' - [Imam Nasai’, Ibn Hibbaan, Al-Haakim, Saheeh]

When to start fasting:

Ibn Umar related that the Prophet s.a.w said: "Do not start fasting unless you see the new moon, and do not end fasting until you see it. If the weather is cloudy then calculate when it should appear." (Bukhari, Muslim)



The Suhoor meal (which is eaten before dawn):

"Sahur is full of blessings, so do not miss it even if you drink just a sip of water." [Musnad Imam Ahmad, Vol. 4, Page 88, Hadith 11396]

Anas related that Rasulullah s.a.w said: Take the Suhoor meal, for there is blessing in it (Bukhari, Muslim)

Eat Sahur to gain strength for fast & take rest in afternoon to gain strength for worshiping at night. [Ibn Majah, V2, P321, Hadith 1693]

Breaking your fast:
Salman ibn Amir Dhabi r.a related that the Prophet s.a.w said: Break your fast with dates, or else with water, for it is pure (Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi)

Fasting during a journey:
Aisha r.a related that Rasulullah s.a.w was asked whether one should fast when on a journey, and he replied: Fast if you like, or postpone it if you like (Bukhari, Muslim)

Behaviour while fasting:
Abu Hurairah r.a related that the Prophet s.a.w said: "If a person does not avoid false talk and false conduct during Siyam (fasting), then Allah does not care if he abstains from food and drink." (Bukhari, Muslim)


Forgetfully eating or drinking while fasting:
Abu Hurairah r.a related that Rasulullah s.a.w said: If anyone forgets that he is fasting and eats or drinks he should complete his Siyam, for it is Allah who has fed him and given him drink (Bukhari, Muslim)


Providing for those who are breaking the fast:
Zaid ibn Khalid Juhni r.a related that the Prophet s.a.w said: "He who provides for the breaking of the Siyam (fasting) of another person earns the same merit as the one who was observing Siyam (fasting) without diminishing in any way the reward of the latter." (Tirmidhi)


Lailat al-Qadr:
Aisha r.a related that the Prophet s.a.w said: "Look for Lailat al-Qadr on an odd-numbered night during the last ten nights of Ramadan." (Bukhari)

Zakat al-Fitr

Ibn ‘Abbaas said: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) made zakat al-fitr obligatory as a means of purifying the fasting person from idle talk and foul language, and to feed the poor. Whoever pays it before the (Eid) prayer, it is an accepted zakat, and whoever pays it after the (Eid) prayer, it is just a kind of charity (sadaqah).” (Reported by Abu Dawood, 1371. Al-Nawawi said: Abu Dawood reported it from Ibn ‘Abbaas with a hasan isnaad).

Koleksi Hadis: Ramadan

Dari Jabir RA bahwa Nabi SAW bersabda: ‘Puasa itu perisai yang dipergunakan seorang hamba untuk membentengi dirinya dari siksaan neraka.’ (HR Ahmad)

Rasulullah SAW bersabda :
 خمس يفطرن الصائم الكدب والغيبة والنميمة واليمين الكاذبة والنظر بشهوة 
“Lima hal yang merusak orang puasa, yaitu bohong, gosip, mengadu domba, sumpah palsu dan melihat dengan syahwat.”

Diriwayatkan daripada Abu Hurairah RA katanya: Rasulullah SAW bersabda: "Apabila seseorang daripada kamu sedang berpuasa pada suatu hari, janganlah bercakap tentang perkara yang keji dan kotor. Apabila dia dicaci maki atau diajak berkelahi oleh seseorang, hendaklah dia berkata: Sesungguhnya hari ini aku berpuasa, sesungguhnya hari ini aku berpuasa."

Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda yang maksudnya: “Berapa banyak orang yang berpuasa tetapi dia tidak mendapat apa-apa dari puasanya kecuali hanya lapar dan dahaga.” (Riwayat Ibnu Majah)

Dari Abu Hurairah r.a. bahawa Nabi s.a.w. bersabda; “Sesiapa yang berpuasa Ramadhan dengan penuh keimanan dan pengharapan, akan diampunkan segala dosa-dosanya yang terdahulu.” (Bukhari & Muslim)

Dari Abu Hurairah ra katanya : "Rasulullah saw bersabda :"Apabila seseorang kamu berpuasa sejak pagi pada suatu hari, janganlah ia bercakap kotor dan jangan membuat kesalahan. Kalau ada orang yang memakinya atau hendak membunuhnya hendaklah dia mengucapkan "Sesungguhnya saya orang puasa sesungguhnya saya orang puasa" (Hadis sahih riwayat Muslim)

Daripada Sahal bin Said r.a. bahawa Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda: “Orang yang menyegerakan berbuka puasa setelah masuk waktunya akan mendapat kebaikan yang berterusan”. (HR al-Bukhari dan Muslim)

Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda yang maksudnya: “Berapa ramai orang yang berpuasa tetapi dia tidak mendapat apa-apa dari puasanya kecuali hanya lapar dan dahaga.” (Riwayat Ibnu Majah)


Daripada Muaz bin Jabal r.a Nabi saw bersabda ” Tidakkah kamu mahu aku tunjukkan kepada kamu pintu kebaikan : Puasa adalah pelindung, sedekah memadam kesilapan seperti air memadam api, dan seorang insan solat pada penghujung malam. (Riwayat Tarmizi dan Ahmad)


Rasulullah SAW yang maksudnya : Apabila telah tiba Ramadan, dibuka pintu-pintu syurga dan ditutup semua pintu neraka dan diikat semua syaitan.(HR Imam Bukhari, Muslim, Nasai’e, Ahmad dan Baihaqi)


Ibn Umar r.a. berkata: Ada beberapa sahabat Nabi saw. telah diperlihatkan Lailatul Kadar dalam mimpi di malam dua puluh tujuh, maka Nabi saw. bersabda: Aku perhatikan impianmu bertepatan dalam malam dua puluh tujuh, maka siapa berusaha untuk mendapatkannya hendaknya berusaha mencarinya pada malam dua puluh tujuh Ramadhan. (Bukhari, Muslim)

Diriwayatkan daripada Zaid bin Khalid al-Juhaniy r.a katanya: Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda: "Sesiapa yang menjemput orang yang berpuasa untuk berbuka, dia akan mendapat pahala sebagaimana pahala orang yang berpuasa itu tanpa mengurangkan sedikitpun pahala orang yang berpuasa tersebut." (Hadis riwayat Imam Tirmizi)


"Puasa dan al-Quran akan memberi syafaat kepada seseorang hamba pada hari kiamat." (Hadis riwayat Imam Ahmad)


Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w: "Apabila telah tiba Ramadan, dibuka pintu-pintu syurga dan ditutup semua pintu neraka dan diikat semua syaitan." (HR Imam Bukhari, Muslim, Nasai’e, Ahmad dan Baihaqi)


Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w: "Barangsiapa memberi makan kepada orang yang berbuka puasa maka dia memperoleh pahalanya, dan pahala bagi yang (menerima makanan) berpuasa tidak dikurangi sedikitpun." (HR Tirmidzi)


Nabi Muhammad s.a.w bersabda: "Tiga doa yang sangat mustajab iaitu doa orang yang berpuasa, doa orang yang dizalimi dan doa orang yang musafir." (Riwayat Ahmad, Bukhari,Abu Daud &al-Tarmizi)

"Sesiapa berbuka satu hari pada bulan Ramadhan tanpa ada rukhshah (keringanan) dan tidak juga kerana sakit, dia tidak akan dapat melunas (mengganti) puasa yang ditinggalkannya itu, sekalipun dia berpuasa seumur hidup." (Hadis riwayat Tirmidzi, Abu Daud, Nasa'i, Ibnu Majah dan Ibnu Khuzaimah)

Nabi Muhammad s.a.w bersabda: “Sesiapa berpuasa pada Ramadan, kemudian diiringi dengan (puasa) enam hari Syawal, maka dia seperti berpuasa satu tahun penuh.” (Riwayat Muslim)

Ditanya kepada Rasulullah, "Adakah ia lailatur Qadar?" Baginda menjawab, "Tidak! Tetapi seorang pekerja yang diberikan ganjarannya apabila telah selesai kerjanya." (Riwayat Imam Ahmad)


Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w: "Sesungguhnya syaitan masuk ke dalam tubuh bani Adam melalui pembuluh darah.  Maka persempitlah pembuluh darahnya dengan lapar dan puasa." (HR Muslim)

Solat 5 waktu, dan solat Jumaat ke Jumaat berikutnya, dan bulan Ramadhan ke bulan Ramadhan yang berikutnya adalah menjadi penebus dosa yang terjadi di antara waktu-waktu tadi, selama orang itu menjauhi dosa-dosa besar. (Muslim)

Daripada Abu Hurairah r.a., Rasulullah s.a.w. telah bersabda, "Umatku telah diberikan dalam Ramadhan lima perkara yang belum bernah diberikan kepada mana-mana umat pun sebelum mereka."

1. Bau busuk mulut orang berpuasa lebih harum di sisi Allah daripada bau kasturi.

2. Ikan-ikan di laut akan beristigfar untuk mereka sehingga mereka berbuka.

3. Setiap hari Allah s.w.t. akan menghiaskan syurgaNya dan berkata, "Telah hampir masanya hamba-hambaKu yang soleh akan dilepaskan dari beban-beban dan mereka akan datang kepadamu."

4. Dirantaikan syaitan-syaitan yang jahat di dalam Ramadhan dan mereka tidak akan dapat berbuat sesuatu dalam Ramadhan ini apa yang biasa mereka lakukan pada bulan lain.

5. Mereka akan diampunkan pada malam terakhir Ramadhan.

Words of wisdom: Knowledge

Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.


"Knowledge is like a fruit. When a fruit grows on a branch of a tree, its weight causes that branch to bend and bow. Similarly, when knowledge increases in a person, it causes him to become humble and not Mutakabbir (proud and boastful)."

Inna Lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un

Allah SWT berfirman dalam surah al-Baqarah ayat 155 yang bermaksud: “Dan sungguh akan Kami berikan cubaan kepadamu dengan sedikit ketakutan, kekurangan harta, jiwa dan buah-buahan. Dan sampaikanlah berita gembira kepada orang-orang yang sabar. (Iaitu) orang-orang yang apabila ditimpa musibah, mereka mengucapkan, Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raaji’un (sesungguhnya kami adalah milik Allah dan kepada-Nya kami kembali). Mereka itulah yang mendapat keberkatan yang sempurna dan rahmat dari Tuhannya dan mereka itulah orang-orang yang mendapat petunjuk.” 

Ucapan inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raaji’un adalah ucapan istirja’ ketika ditimpa musibah. Dalam sebuah hadis yang diriwayatkan oleh Imam Ahmad daripada Ummu Salamah, beliau bercerita: “Pada suatu hari, selepas menemui Rasulullah SAW, Abu Salamah mendatangiku, lalu beliau menceritakan bahawa beliau telah mendengar ucapan Rasulullah SAW yang membuat aku merasa senang. 

Baginda bersabda: Tidak ada seorang daripada kaum muslimin yang ditimpa musibah, lalu ia mengucapkan inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raaji’uun, lalu ia berdoa, Allahumma’ jurnii fii mushibatii wa akhlif lii khairan minha (Ya Allah, berilah aku pahala dalam musibahku ini dan berilah pengganti yang lebih baik darinya), melainkan doanya itu dikabulkan.
