Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ مِنْ أَجْوَدِ النَّاسِ وَأَجْوَدُ مَا يَكُونُ فِي رَمَضَانَ حِينَ يَلْقَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ يَلْقَاهُ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ يُدَارِسُهُ الْقُرْآنَ فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ يَلْقَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ أَجْوَدَ مِنْ الرِّيحِ الْمُرْسَلَةِ
English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنهما) — via 'Uthman ibn 'Umar, from Yunus, from al-Zuhri, from 'Ubaydullah ibn 'Abdullah ibn 'Utba — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was the most generous of people, and he was at his most generous during Ramadan when Jibril (عليه السلام) would meet him. He would meet him every night, reviewing the Quran with him. When Jibril met him, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was more generous than the freely blowing wind.
