The fast is the day the people fast, the breaking of the fast is the day the people break their fast, and the sacrifice is the day the people sacrifice: There is nothing authentic concerning it

❌ 13. “The fast is the day the people fast, the breaking of the fast is the day the people break their fast, and the sacrifice is the day the people sacrifice.” (Tirmidhī) & ‘The breaking of the fast is the day the people break their fast, and the sacrifice is the day the people sacrifice.' (Ibn Mājah)

◽️Benefit:

Fasting in Ramaḍān was made obligatory in the second year after Hijrah and so Rasūlullah ﷺ witnessed Ramaḍān 9 times in his lifetime.

'Umar Ibn Khattab's instructions for the first of Ramadan

It is reported that on the first night of Ramaḍān, ‘Umar – رضي الله عنه– would pray Maghrib, then say (to the people):


Sit down. Then he would give a small address:


Verily the fasting of this month has been made a duty upon you, and standing in night prayer has not been made a duty upon you, but those amongst you who can stand in prayer should do so, for it is from the extra good deeds about which الله told us: so whoever cannot stand in prayer, let him sleep on his bed.


And beware of saying: I will fast if so and so fasts and I will stand in night prayer if so and so stands in prayer. Whoever fasts or stands in night prayer, he must make this for الله. And you should know that you are in prayer as long as you are waiting for a prayer.


Minimize any vain or false speech in the houses of الله (mosques; he said this two or three times).


Let none of you fast a few days before the month (in order to avoid missing the beginning of the month; he said this three times).


And do not fast until you see [the crescent of the new month] unless it is overcast. If it is overcast, count [the previous month] as 30 days. Then do not break your fasts until you see the night upon the mountain (i.e. you are sure the sun has set).


‘Abd Al-Razzāq Al-Ṣan’ānī, Al-Muṣannaf article 7748.

Saying Ramadan Mubarak:

Some scholars believe that it is lawful for Muslims to congratulate each other for the entering of Ramadan by saying "Ramadan Mubarak " and the like.
Their evidence for this is the Hadith reported by Ahmad that the Prophet peace be upon him said:

"…. A blessed (Mubarak) month has shadowed you …".

Ibn Rajab said that this Hadith is an evidence for the lawfulness of congratulating one another for the coming of Ramadan'.

“Giving a greeting for the start of Ramadan is (not) Bidah! The Prophet [ﷺ] greeted! Ibn Rajab, Alsuyooty, Ahmad, Shafeey and others permitted it.”

— Shaykh Ahmad Jibril

"Al-Muhaddith ‘Abdullâh as-Sa’d mentioned there is nothing authentic to say we congratulate the entrance of Ramadân, not by the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and not by his companions. But he said there is goodness in supplicating for each other, like asking Allâh to aid us in our fasting and night prayers, to make us from those whose deeds are accepted, to give victory to the muslims, and similar things" —Via Ahlus-Sunnah

Regarding the number of raka'āt and what was recited by Prophet ﷺ and the Sahābah in Qiyām:

And it is authentic that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم performed qiyām by praying eleven rakaˋāt.

And it is authentic that he صلى الله عليه وسلم recited al-Baqarah, Āli ˋImrān, al-Mā’idah, and an-Nisā’ during the qiyām.

And it is confirmed that the Ṣaḥābah used to prayer twenty rakaˋāt, and it is confirmed that they used to recite hundreds of āyāt [verses].

For those who may want to follow the sunnah of Prophet ﷺ and recite what he recited in Qiyām, but have not memorized the Qur'ān, fret not Alhamdulillah for scholars have allowed reading with the Mus-haf in voluntary prayers

HUKM OF READING FROM THE MUS-HAF IN TARĀWĪH/ QIYĀM

Praise be to Allah.

There is nothing wrong with reading from the Mus’haf in Taraweeh prayer. ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) had a slave who used to lead her in prayer in Ramadaan, reading from the Mus-haf. Narrated by al-Bukhaari in a mu’allaq report (1/245).

Ibn Wahb said: Ibn Shihaab said:
The best of us used to read from the Mus-haf during Ramadaan. Al-Mudawwanah, 1/224.

Al-Nawawi said: If he reads from the Mus-haf that does not invalidate his prayer, whether he had memorized it or not. Rather he should do that if he has not memorized al-Faatihah, and if he turns the pages sometimes whilst praying that does not invalidate his prayer. … This is our view and the view of Maalik, Abu Yoosuf, Muhammad and Ahmad. End quote from al-Majmoo’, 4/27.

Sahnoon said: Maalik said: There is nothing wrong with the imam leading the people (in prayer) whilst reading from the Mus-haf in Ramadaan and in naafil prayers.

Ibn al-Qaasim said: That is makrooh in the case of obligatory prayers. Al-Mudawwanah, 1/224.

With regard to those who object to that on the grounds that holding the Mus-haf and turning its pages constitute excessive movement, this is an invalid objection, because it is proven that the Prophet ﷺ led the people in prayer whilst he was holding Umaamah, his daughter’s daughter. Narrated by al-Bukhaari (494) and Muslim (543). Holding the Mus-haf whilst praying is not more serious than holding a small child whilst praying.

And Allaah knows best.
