Compiled by Imam Yahya ibn Sharaf al-Nawawi
وعن سلمان رضي الله عنه قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: "رباط يوم وليلة خير من صيام شهر وقيامه، وإن مات فيه أجري عليه عمله الذي كان يعمل، وأجري عليه رزقه، وأمن الفتان" ((رواه مسلم)).
I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying, "Observing Ribat in the way of Allah for a day and a night is far better than observing Saum (fasting) for a whole month and standing in Salat (prayer) in all its nights. If a person dies (while performing this duty), he will go on receiving his reward for his meritorious deeds perpetually, and he will be saved from Al- Fattan."[Muslim].
