Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مُبَارَكٍ عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ تَمِيمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَظَلَّكُمْ شَهْرُكُمْ هَذَا لَمَحْلُوفُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مَا مَرَّ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ شَهْرٌ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ مِنْهُ وَلَا بِالْمُنَافِقِينَ شَهْرٌ شَرٌّ لَهُمْ مِنْهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَيَكْتُبُ أَجْرَهُ وَنَوَافِلَهُ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ وَيَكْتُبُ إِصْرَهُ وَشَقَاءَهُ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يُعِدُّ فِيهِ الْقُوَّةَ لِلْعِبَادَةِ مِنْ النَّفَقَةِ وَيُعِدُّ الْمُنَافِقُ اتِّبَاعَ غَفْلَةِ النَّاسِ وَاتِّبَاعَ عَوْرَاتِهِمْ فَهُوَ غُنْمٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ يَغْتَنِمُهُ الْفَاجِرُ.
English Translation
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'Your month has come upon you - by the oath of the Messenger of Allah, no month has passed by the believers better for them than it, nor by the hypocrites worse for them than it. Indeed, Allah the Almighty writes its reward and its voluntary deeds before it enters, and He writes its burden and its misery before it enters. That is because the believer prepares in it strength for worship through spending, and the hypocrite prepares to follow people's heedlessness and their faults. So it is a gain for the believer that the sinner takes advantage of.'
