[Machine] A man from the companions of Muhammad ﷺ entered upon us. When Uthman saw him, he became saddened and remained silent. He then spoke about Ramadan, saying, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'In Ramadan, the gates of Hell are closed, the gates of Paradise are opened, and the devils are chained up.' He further said, 'In it, a caller announces, "O seeker of goodness, proceed! O seeker of evil, desist!" until Ramadan is completed.'"  

أحمد:١٨٧٩٥ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبِيدَةُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنِي عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ عَنْ عَرْفَجَةَ قَالَ 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
