" I was in a house with 'Utbah bin Farqad, and I wanted to narrate a Hadith, but there was a man from among the Companions of the Prophet there, and I felt it was more appropriate fro him to narrate the Hadith than I. The man narrated that the Prophet said. Concerning of the Prophet there, and I felt it was more appropriate for him to narrate the Hadith than I. the man narrated that the Prophet said, concerning Ramadan: 'In it the gates of Heavens are opened and the gates of the Fire are shut, and every devil is fettered. A caller calls out every night: O seeker of good, proceed; O seeker of evil, desist!"' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2108)

فَكَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَأَنَّهُ أَوْلَى بِالْحَدِيثِ مِنْهُ قَالَ فَحَدَّثَ الرَّجُلُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي رَمَضَانَ تُفَتَّحُ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ وَتُغَلَّقُ أَبْوَابُ النَّارِ وَيُصَفَّدُ فِيهِ كُلُّ شَيْطَانٍ مَرِيدٍ وَيُنَادِي مُنَادٍ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ يَا طَالِبَ الْخَيْرِ هَلُمَّ وَيَا طَالِبَ الشَّرِّ أَمْسِكْ

[AI] I was with Utbah b. Farqad while he was speaking about Ramadan. He said: A man from the companions of Muhammad ﷺ came in to us. He said: When Utbah saw him, he was in awe of him, so he fell silent. He said: Then he spoke about Ramadan and said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say about Ramadan, "In Ramadan, the gates of the Fire are closed, the gates of Paradise are opened, and the devils are chained." He said: "And an angel calls out in it: O seeker of good, rejoice; O seeker of evil, desist," until Ramadan comes to an end.

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ، وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَمَضَانَ، قَالَ: فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا رَآهُ عُتْبَةُ هَابَهُ فَسَكَتَ. قَالَ: فَحَدَّثَ عَنْ رَمَضَانَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي رَمَضَانَ: «تُغَلَّقُ فِيهِ أَبْوَابُ النَّارِ، وَتُفَتَّحُ فِيهِ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ، وَتُصَفَّدُ فِيهِ الشَّيَاطِينُ». قَالَ: «وَيُنَادِي فِيهِ مَلَكٌ: يَا بَاغِيَ الْخَيْرِ، أَبْشِرْ، يَا بَاغِيَ الشَّرِّ، أَقْصِرْ»، حَتَّى يَنْقَضِيَ رَمَضَانُ.
