Sahih al-Bukhari 4997 (Book 66, Hadith 19) #4778
Generosity of the Prophet (ﷺ) During Ramadan

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was the most generous person, especially during Ramadan when Gabriel visited him every night and he would recite the Qur'an for him.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet was the most generous person, and he used to become more so (generous) particularly in the month of Ramadan because Gabriel used to meet him every night of the month of Ramadan till it elapsed. Allah's Messenger used to recite the Qur'an for him. When Gabriel met him, he used to become more generous than the fast wind in doing good.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ قَزَعَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ أَجْوَدَ النَّاسِ بِالْخَيْرِ، وَأَجْوَدُ مَا يَكُونُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ لأَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ كَانَ يَلْقَاهُ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ حَتَّى يَنْسَلِخَ يَعْرِضُ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ الْقُرْآنَ، فَإِذَا لَقِيَهُ جِبْرِيلُ كَانَ أَجْوَدَ بِالْخَيْرِ مِنَ الرِّيحِ الْمُرْسَلَةِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith speaks about the generosity of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ during the month of Ramadan. It is said that he was already known to be a generous person, but his generosity increased even more during this blessed month. Every night, Gabriel would come to visit him and they would recite the Quran together. This made him even more generous than a fast wind in doing good deeds. This hadith teaches us that we should strive to increase our acts of kindness and charity during this holy month as it is an opportunity for us to gain rewards from Allah SWT. We should also take advantage of this time by reciting Quran regularly so that we can benefit from its teachings and become closer to Allah SWT.
