1371. (A number of narrators) reported that Ma'mar informed them — and Al-Hasan (one of the narrators) said in his narration: "And Mālik bin Anas" — from Az-Zuhri, from Abū Salamah, from Abū Hurairah, who said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would encourage them to pray (the night prayers) during Ramaḍān, without commanding them to do so. He would say: 'Whoever stands (in prayer) during Ramaḍān, having faith and expecting his reward (from Allāh), he will have all his previous sins forgiven.' So when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ passed away, the situation was the same. During the Khilāfah of Abū Bakr, may Allāh be pleased with him, and the early part of the Khilāfah of 'Umar, may Allāh be pleased with him, it also remained the same." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
Abū Dāwud said: And this was reported by 'Uqail, Yūnus, and Abū Uwais: "Whoever stood (in night prayer) during Ramaḍān." While 'Uqail reported: "Whoever fasted Ramaḍān and stood (in prayer) during it."
