Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to give glad tidings to his noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) saying:“A blessed month, Ramadan, has come to you. Allah has made its fasting obligatory upon you. In it, the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are chained. In it, there is a night (Laylat al-Qadr) which is better than a thousand months (of worship). Whoever is deprived of its goodness has truly been deprived (in every respect).”

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The blessed month of Ramadan has come to you." Then he narrated similar to the previous hadith.

It is narrated from Abu Uthman al-Nahdi that Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) was on a journey. He stopped at a place and sent a messenger to him while he was praying, so that he could come and eat. He said to the messenger: I am fasting. When the food was served and it was near that they would finish, he also started eating. Then he looked towards his messenger, so he said: He had told me that he was fasting. Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: He spoke the truth. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Fasting in the month of patience and fasting three days of every month is equivalent to fasting forever." I have already fasted three days of the month. I am one who leaves fasting in Allah’s concession and fasts in Allah’s strengthening.

Abu Uthman al-Nahdi narrated: I hosted Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) for seven days; with him were his wife and his servant. They had assigned turns for the third parts of the night: one would stand (in prayer) while the other slept, and when this one stood, the other would sleep. And I heard Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) say: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed dates, and my share was seven dates. Among them was one spoiled, dry date, and it was the most beloved to me; it made my chewing of the dates stronger. Sulaiman said: That is, it had strength. The narrator said: I asked, "Abu Hurairah! How do you fast in the month?" He replied: "I fast three days at the beginning of the month, so if any issue arises for me, I have the reward for the whole month."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace be upon him) said: "When any of you eats or drinks forgetfully while fasting, he should not break his fast but complete it, for it is Allah who has fed him and given him drink."

Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever eats or drinks forgetfully should complete his fast, for it is Allah who has fed him and given him drink."

Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Begin fasting upon sighting the moon, and stop fasting upon sighting the moon." Or he said: "When you see it, then begin fasting, and when you see (the Shawwal moon), then stop fasting. If the sky is cloudy for you, then complete the count to thirty."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: "When you see the (crescent of Ramadan), then fast, and when you see it (the crescent of Shawwal), then stop fasting. If the sky is cloudy, then complete the count to thirty."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then the narrator mentioned it similar to the previous hadith, and said: "If the sky is cloudy for you."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah says, 'O son of Adam! Every deed is an expiation except for fasting; it (fasting) is for Me and I alone will reward it. The smell from the mouth of the fasting person is better with Allah than the fragrance of musk.'"
