58 – ʿUbaydullāh ibn ʿUmar al-Jushamī narrated to us; he said: Ḥakīm ibn Ḥizām, Abū Sumayr—who was known for his devotion—narrated to us; he said: ʿAlī ibn Zayd ibn Judʿān narrated to us, from Saʿīd ibn al-Musayyib, from Salmān al-Fārisī, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever provides a fasting person in Ramadan with something to break his fast that was earned lawfully, the angels pray for him every night of Ramadan, and Gabriel will shake his hand on the Night of Decree. Anyone whose hand Gabriel shakes will find his heart softened and his eyes flowing with tears.”
