[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

[Machine] From a man from the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, from the Prophet ﷺ that he mentioned Ramadan and said, "In it, the doors of Paradise are opened, and the doors of Hellfire are closed, and the devils are chained. And in it, a caller calls out every night, 'O seeker of goodness, come forward! And O seeker of evil, stop!' until Ramadan is over."  

أحمد:٢٣٤٩١ – حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ أَخْبَرَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ عَنْ عَرْفَجَةَ

عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ تُفْتَحُ فِيهِ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ وَتُغْلَقُ فِيهِ أَبْوَابُ النَّارِ وَتُصَفَّدُ فِيهِ الشَّيَاطِينُ وَيُنَادِي فِيهِ مُنَادٍ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ يَا بَاغِيَ الْخَيْرِ هَلُمَّ وَيَا بَاغِيَ الشَّرِّ أَقْصِرْ حَتَّى يَنْقَضِيَ رَمَضَانُ
