Bashr bin Shu'aib bin Abi Hamza بشر بن شعيب بن أبي حمزة · The Book of Fasting

"The Messenger of Allah was the most generous of people, and he was most generous in Ramadan when Jibril met him. Jibril use to meet him every night during the month of Ramadan and study Quran with him." And he said: "When Jibril met him, the Messenger of Allah was more generous in doing good than the blowing wind."

"Do not fast one or two days ahead of the month, unless the one who used to observe a regular fast. In that case let him fast." '

"Whoever spends the nights of Ramadan in prayer (Qiyam) out of faith and in the hope of reward, he will be forgiven his previous sins." '
