Question

Is it correct that whoever fasts in the month of Ramadan will be the true close friend of Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)?

 

Answer

This is mentioned in a Hadith recorded by Imam Tabarani as one of the three things a person is required to protect to be the close friend of Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)

The full Hadith is as follows:

Sayyiduna Anas (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reported that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Whomsoever protects three things will be my close friend [i.e. Allah will take care of him and protect him] and whomsoever is negligent regarding them is my true enemy [i.e., Allah will take him to task and punish him]; [They are] Salah, Fasting [in Ramadan] and impurities (janabah) [i.e., ensuring that one takes a compulsory bath after impurities].”

(Al Mu’jamul Awsat, Hadith: 8956. Refer: Faydul Qadir, Hadith: 3427)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

التخريج من المصادر العربية

المعجم الأوسط:
(٨٩٥٦) حدثنا مقدام، ثنا أسد، ثنا عدي بن الفضل، عن حميد، عن أنس عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «ثلاث من حفظهن فهو وليي حقا، ومن ضيعهن فهو عدوي حقا: الصلاة والصيام والجنابة».
لم يرو هذا الحديث عن حميد إلا عدي بن الفضل، تفرد به أسد بن موسى.

فيض القدير:
(٣٤٢٧) «ثلاث من حفظهن فهو ولي حقا» أي يتولاه الله ويحفظه «ومن ضيعهن فهو عدو لي حقا: الصلاة» المفروضة يعني المكتوبات من الخمس «والصيام» أي صيام رمضان «والجنابة» أي الغسل من الجنابة، ومثلها الغسل عن حيض أو نفاس في حق المرأة، والمراد يكون المضيع عدوا لله أنه يعاقبه ويذله ويهينه إن لم يدركه العفو، فإن ضيع ذلك جاحدا فهو كافر فتكون العداوة على بابها.
(طس عن أنس) قال الهيثمي: فيه عدي بن الفضل وهو ضعيف (ص عن الحسن مرسلا) يعني الحسن البصري.
