Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ مَنْ قَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ ‏" ‏‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ فَتُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَالأَمْرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ كَانَ الأَمْرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فِي خِلاَفَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَصَدْرًا مِنْ خِلاَفَةِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما.‏

Translation

ʿAbd Allāh ibn Yūsuf related to us: Mālik informed us, from Ibn Shihāb, from Ḥumayd ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, from Abū Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said: ‘Whoever spends Ramaḍān in night prayer, out of faith and seeking reward, will have his past sins forgiven.’ Ibn Shihāb said: The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) died while the practice remained as it was. It remained so during the caliphate of Abū Bakr and the early part of the caliphate of ʿUmar (may Allah be pleased with them both).
