Sahih al-Bukhari — Hadith 1903
Narrated by Abu Hurairah
مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ
Translation
The Prophet said: 'Whoever fasts during Ramadan out of sincere faith and hoping to attain Allah's rewards, all his past sins will be forgiven.'
Commentary
This hadith connects the act of fasting to sincere intention and divine reward, echoing the principle from the first hadith that actions are judged by intentions. Fasting in Ramadan is not mere abstention from food — it must be accompanied by genuine faith and conscious devotion.
