Prayer in Ramadan
6.1 Stimulation of the Desire for Prayer in Ramadan
1 Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from 'Urwa ibn az-Zubayr
from 'A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, prayed in
the mosque one night and people prayed behind him. Then he prayed the next night
and there were more people. Then they gathered on the third or fourth night and
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, did not come
out to them. In the morning, he said, "I saw what you were doing and the only
thing that prevented me from coming out to you was that I feared that it would
become obligatory (fard) for you." This happened in Ramadan.
[In Muslim]
2 Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Abu Salama ibn 'Abd
ar-Rahman ibn 'Awf from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, used to exhort people to spend the night in prayer in
Ramadan but never ordered it definitely. He used to say, "Whoever stands in
prayer in the night during Ramadan with belief and expecting the reward will be
forgiven all his previous wrong actions."
Ibn Shihab said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, died while that was still the custom, and it continued to be the custom
in the khalifate of Abu Bakr and at the beginning of the khalifate of 'Umar ibn
al-Khattab."
[cf Bukhari 1905]
6.2 Praying at Night during Ramadan
3 Malik related to me from Ibn Shihab from 'Urwa ibn
az-Zubayr that 'Abd ar-Rahman ibn 'Abd al-Qari said, "I went out with 'Umar ibn
al-Khattab in Ramadan to the mosque and the people there were spread out in
groups. Some men were praying by themselves, whilst others were praying in small
groups. 'Umar said, 'By Allah, I think that it would be better for all these
people to join together behind one reciter.' So he gathered them behind Ubayy
ibn Ka'b. Then I went out with him another night and the people were praying
behind their Qur'an reciter. 'Umar said, 'This is an excellent innovation! But
the one they sleep through is better than the one they are praying,' meaning the
last part of the night, and people used to pray at the beginning of the night."
[cf Bukhari 1906]
4 Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn Yusuf that as-Sa'ib ibn
Yazid said, "'Umar ibn al-Khattab ordered Ubayy ibn Ka'b and Tamim ad-Dari to
lead the people in praying eleven rak'ats. The reciter of the Qur'an
would recite the Mi'in (a group of medium-sized suras) until we
would be leaning on our staffs from having stood so long in prayer. And we would
not leave until the approach of dawn."
5 Yahya related to me from Malik that Yazid ibn Ruman said, "The people used
to pray twenty-three rak'as at night during Ramadan in the time of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab."
6 Yahya related to me from Malik from Da'ud ibn al-Husayn that he heard al-A'raj
say, "I never saw the people in Ramadan but that they were cursing the
disbelievers." He added, "The reciter of Qur'an used to recite Surat al-Baqara
in eight rak'ats and if he did it in twelve rak'as the people would think
that he had made it easy."
7 Yahya related to me from Malik that 'Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr said, "I heard
my father say, 'We finished praying in Ramadan and the servants hurried with the
food, fearing the approach of dawn.' "
8 Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn 'Urwa from his father that
Dhakwan Abu 'Amr (a slave belonging to 'A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, who was freed by her after her death) used
to stand in prayer and recite for her in Ramadan.
