2194. Urwah bin Az-Zubair narrated that 'Aishah told him that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ used to encourage the people to pray
Qiyâm in Ramaḍān, without insisting on that. He said: "Whoever spends the nights of Ramaḍān in prayer out of faith and in the hope of reward, he will be forgiven his previous sins." (Sahīh)

Commentary
1. "Faith and hope of reward" means the purpose or the foundation of fasting ought to be faith and not that most people fast. So seeing them fasting, one fasts along with them, or as a matter of habit or custom, and not as an act of worship (Ibada), or for the achievement of health.
2. "All his previous sins:" provided they are forgivable. That means they should not have been affiliated to the rights of worshippers of Allāh nor to polytheism (Shirk), etc.
