حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، وَابْنُ أَبِي خَلَفٍ، - الْمَعْنَى - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَمَنْ قَامَ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَكَذَا رَوَاهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ‏.‏

Translation

Makhlad ibn Khalid and Ibn Abi Khalaf said—the meaning is the same—Sufyan narrated to us, from al-Zuhri, from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurayrah, who attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): ‘Whoever fasts Ramadan out of faith and seeking reward will have his previous sins forgiven, and whoever stands in prayer on the Night of Decree out of faith and seeking reward will have his previous sins forgiven.’ Abu Dawud said: Yahya ibn Abi Kathir narrated it similarly from Abu Salamah, as did Muhammad ibn Amr from Abu Salamah.
