Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ أَبِي هِشَامٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُعْطِيَتْ أُمَّتِي خَمْسَ خِصَالٍ فِي رَمَضَانَ لَمْ تُعْطَهَا أُمَّةٌ قَبْلَهُمْ خُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ وَتَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُمْ الْمَلَائِكَةُ حَتَّى يُفْطِرُوا وَيُزَيِّنُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ ج
َنَّتَهُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ يُوشِكُ عِبَادِي الصَّالِحُونَ أَنْ يُلْقُوا عَنْهُمْ الْمَئُونَةَ وَالْأَذَى وَيَصِيرُوا إِلَيْكِ وَيُصَفَّدُ فِيهِ مَرَدَةُ الشَّيَاطِينِ فَلَا يَخْلُصُوا إِلَى مَا كَانُوا يَخْلُصُونَ إِلَيْهِ فِي غَيْرِهِ وَيُغْفَرُ لَهُمْ فِي آخِرِ لَيْلَةٍ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَهِيَ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنَّ الْعَامِلَ إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى أَجْرَهُ إِذَا قَضَى عَمَلَهُ

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via Yazid, from Hisham ibn Abi Hisham, from Muhammad ibn al-Aswad, from Abu Salama ibn 'Abd al-Rahman — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "My Umma has been given five qualities in Ramadan that no nation before them was given: the breath of the fasting person is more pleasant to Allah than the scent of musk; the angels seek forgiveness for them until they break their fast; Allah (عز وجل) adorns His Paradise every day and says: 'My righteous servants are about to cast off their burdens and suffering and come to you'; the rebellious devils are chained in it so they cannot reach what they used to reach outside of it; and they are forgiven on the last night.' It was said: 'O Messenger of Allah, is that Laylat al-Qadr?' He said: 'No, but a worker is paid his wages when he finishes his work.'"
