1/1222ــ وعن ابنِ عباسٍ رضي الله عنهما قالَ:كانَ رَسُولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلمأَجْوَدَ النَاسِ، وَكانَ أَجْوَدُ ما يَكُونُ في رَمضَانَ حِينَ يَلْقَاهُ جِبرِيلُ، وَكانَ جِبرِيلُ يَلقَاهُ في كُلِّ لَيلَةٍ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَيُدَارِسُهُ القرْآنَ. فَلَرَسُولُ الله،صلى الله عليه وسلم، حِينَ يَلقاهُ جِبرِيلُ، أَجْوَدُ بِالخَيْرِ مِنَ الرِّيحِ المُرْسَلَة. متفقٌ عليه.
1222/1 - ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported: “The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) was the most generous of people, and he used to be more generous than ever in Ramadan when Jibrīl would meet him. He used to meet him every night during Ramadan to revise the Qur’an with him. Indeed, the Messenger of Allah, when Jibrīl was meeting with him, was more generous than the fast wind.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]
الجود: هو بذل المحبوب من مال أو عمل أو جاه.
Generosity is to give out to people of things one holds dear, like wealth or labor or prestige.
1) كان النَّبيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أجودَ النَّاس بماله وبدنه وعلمه ودعوته ونصيحته.
1) The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) was the most generous among people, giving out money, effort, knowledge, preaching, and advice.

2/1223ــ عَنْ عائشةَ رضي الله عنها قالت: «كَانَ رَسُولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذَا دَخَلَ العَشرُ أحيَا اللَّيْلَ، وأيْقَظَ أهْلَهُ، وَشَدَّ المِئْزرَ». متفق عليه.
1223/2 - ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: “With the start of the last ten (days of Ramadan), the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) would pray all night, wake up his family, and tie up his lower garment firmly.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]
المئزر: مَا يلبسه الإنسان علىٰ أسفل جسمه، وشد المئزر، بمعنىٰ: الاستعداد للعمل والجد فيه، وقيل: شد المئزر، معناه: تجنب معاشرة الرجل أهله.
Tie up his lower garment firmly: It denotes diligence in worship or retirement from women.
1) من الجود بالنفس أن نحيي العشر الأخير من رمضان في طاعة الله تَعَالىٰ، لأنه جود في حق الله _عز وجل_.
1) Part of generosity which we give from our own self is to engage in worship for all night long during the last ten nights of Ramadan. This is generosity towards our Lord.
2) حثّ الرجل أهل بيته علىٰ المشاركة في الطاعات، فأين بعض الآباء اليوم من بيوتهم وأهليهم؟
