a) From Abi Umamah Radi Allaahu anhu from the Prophet sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam who said:

‘Allaah frees slaves at the time of every Iftaar.’

[Collected by Ahmad, Tabraani, al-Bayhaqi and Al-Albaani declared it Hasan Saheeh in ‘Saheeh Targheeb wa Tarheeb’ 1/1001]

 

b) From Abi Sa’eed al-Khudri Radi Allaahu anhu who said the Messenger of Allaah sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam said:

‘Indeed Allaah –Tabaraka wa Ta’ala- frees slaves every day and night – meaning: in Ramadan – and indeed every a Muslim, on every day and night, has a supplication which is answered.’

[Collected by al-Bazzar and Al-Albaani declared it Saheeh lighayrihi in ‘Saheeh Targheeb wa Tarheeb’ 1/1002]

 

c) From ‘Amr bin Murra al-Juhni Radi Allaahu anhu who said: A man came to the Prophet sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam and said: O Messenger of Allaah! What do you think if I testified that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that you are the Messenger of Allaah, and that I pray the five prayers, and I pay Zakat, and fast Ramadan and pray its night prayer.  Then from whom am I amongst?’

He sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam answered:

‘From the truthful ones and the martyrs.’

[Collected by al-Bazzar, Ibn Khuzaimah, Ibn Hibban and Al-Albaani declared it Saheeh in ‘Saheeh Targheeb wa Tarheeb’ 1/1003]
