If a person complies with the divine commands, and diligently strives to abide by the divine will of Allah, and to earn His pleasure to the best of his ability, Allah, Exalted is He, will not deprive him of the full reward and will even grant him more rewards, out of His grace and generosity. In this hadeeth, Aboo Bakrah Naafi‘ ibn Al-Haarith (may Allah be pleased with him) related that the Prophet ﷺ informed us that the reward of two months will not be diminished, even if the number of their days decreases. These months are Ramadan and Thoo al-Hijjah. The Prophet ﷺ mentioned them in particular because the obligatory fasting and pilgrimage are performed on these two months. The month of Ramadan is described as a month of ‘Eid, because it is followed by ‘Eid Al-Fitr. This hadeeth eliminates any doubts that may find their way into the hearts of those who fasted twenty-nine days (because they know that their rewards shall not be diminished). The hadeeth also highlights the virtues of the month of Ramadan and Thoo al-Hijjah..
