683. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever fasts Ramaḍān and stands (in the night prayer) for it out of faith and seeking a reward (from Allāh), he will be forgiven what preceded of his sins. Whoever stands (in the night prayer) on the Night of Al-Qadr out of faith and seeking a reward (from Allāh), he will be forgiven what preceded of his sins." (Hasan)
This Hadīth is Ṣaḥīḥ.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Abū Hurairah which Abū Bakr bin 'Ayyāsh reported is a Gharīb Hadīth, we do not know of it as a narration of Abū Bakr bin 'Ayyāsh from Al-A'mash, from Abū Ṣāliḥ, from Abū Hurairah except from the narration of Abū Bakr. He said: I asked Muḥammad bin Ismā'īl about this Hadīth, and he said: "Al-Ḥasan bin Ar-Rabī narrated to us, Abū Al-Aḥwaṣ narrated to us from Al-A'mash, from Muḥāhid as his own saying. He said: 'On the first night of Ramaḍān' and he mentioned the Hadīth." Muḥammad said: "This is more correct in my view, than the narration of Abū Bakr bin 'Ayyāsh."

In this Hadīth, the virtuousness of fasts of Ramaḍān, Tarāwīh and voluntary prayer during its night, and the voluntary prayer during the Night of Power is
highlighted; the previous sins are forgiven due to these deeds, provided these deeds are performed with Faith and in the hope of earning good reward from Allāh ﷻ.
