Sahih Muslim 759b (Book 6, Hadith 208) #8933
Praying During Ramadan for Forgiveness

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad encouraged his companions to pray during Ramadan, and promised that those who do so out of faith and seeking reward from Allah will have their sins forgiven.

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah used to exhort (his Companions) to pray (at night) during Ramadan without commanding them to observe it as an obligatory act, and say: He who observed the night prayer in Ramadan because of faith and seeking his reward (from Allah), all his previous sins would be forgiven. When Allah's Messenger died, this was the practice, and it continued thus during Abu Bakr's caliphate and the early part of 'Umar's caliphate.
وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يُرَغِّبُ فِي قِيَامِ رَمَضَانَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَأْمُرَهُمْ فِيهِ بِعَزِيمَةٍ فَيَقُولُ ‏ "‏ مَنْ قَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَتُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَالأَمْرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ كَانَ الأَمْرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فِي خِلاَفَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَصَدْرًا مِنْ خِلاَفَةِ عُمَرَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Pray during Ramadan with faith and seeking reward from Allah

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad taught his companions the importance of praying during the holy month of Ramadan. He said that if someone prays at night in this month out of faith and with the intention to seek reward from Allah, then all their previous sins will be forgiven. This practice was continued by Abu Bakr and Umar after the death of Prophet Muhammad. Praying during this month is a way to show devotion to Allah, as well as an opportunity for Muslims to ask for forgiveness for any wrongdoings they may have committed in the past. It is also a time when Muslims can reflect on their lives and strive towards becoming better people.
