English translation

4997. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما: The Prophet ﷺ was the most generous person, and he used to become more so (generous) particularly in the month of Ramaḍān because Jibrīl (Gabriel) used to meet him every night of the month of Ramaḍān till it elapsed. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ used to recite the Qur'ān for him. When Jibrīl met him, he used to become more generous than the fair winds sent (by Allāh) with glad tidings (of rain) (in doing good).

4997 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ قَزَعَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: «كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَجْوَدَ النَّاسِ بِالخَيْرِ، وَأَجْوَدُ مَا يَكُونُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ، لِأَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ كَانَ يَلْقَاهُ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ، حَتَّى يَنْسَلِخَ يَعْرِضُ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ القُرْآنَ، فَإِذَا لَقِيَهُ جِبْرِيلُ كَانَ أَجْوَدَ بِالخَيْرِ مِنَ الرِّيحِ المُرْسَلَةِ»
