First to inform people about Ramadan – Fabricated Hadith (1/2)

· 27 Shaʻban 1446 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

The following Hadith is widespread over the internet and I would like to know whether these are the words of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam):

“If one informs another about Ramadan first, then hell fire will become forbidden for that individual”

I couldn’t find the reference. Is this Hadith fabricated?

Answer

I haven’t seen this in any Hadith.

There is a fabricated Hadith like this one regarding the commencement of the month of Rabi’ul Awwal. See hadith below:
