Hadith: He who observes fasting during the month of Ramadan faithfully and expecting its reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه مرفوعاً: «من صَام رمضان إيِمَانًا واحْتِسَابًا، غُفِر له ما تَقدَّم من ذَنْبِه».
[صحيح] - [متفق عليه]

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He who observes fasting during the month of Ramadan faithfully and expecting its reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven."
Sahih/Authentic. - [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
Allah will forgive the previous sins of the one who fasts the month of Ramadan, out of firm belief in Allah’s promise and sincerely expecting its reward from Allah, the Almighty. This does not apply to the one who fasts for showing off (his good deeds) and win good opinion of people.
Benefits from the Hadith

- It is permissible to say 'Ramadan' without the word 'month'.
