Whoever is deprived of carrying out good deeds in Ramadan is deprived of goodness

I would like to know the reference for the following Hadith:

Ramadan began and Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “This month has come and in it there is a night that is better than one thousand months. Whoever is deprived of [doing good in this month] is deprived of all goodness and no one is deprived of its goodness except one who is truly deprived.”

Answer:

Imam Ibn Majah (rahimahullah) has recorded this Hadith on the authority of Sayyiduna Anas ibn Malik (radiyallahu ‘anhu).

(Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith: 1644)

‘Allamah Mundhiri (rahimahullah) states, ‘The chain is sound (hasan) insha Allah.

(Targhib, vol. 2 pg. 99)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
