The first night of Ramadan

ibnkhuzaymah:1776Muḥammad b. al-ʿAlāʾ b. Kurayb > Abū Bakr b. ʿAyyāsh > al-Aʿmash > Abū Ṣāliḥ > Abū Hurayrah

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When it is the first night of Ramadan, the devils—the rebellious among the jinn—are shackled, the gates of the Fire are closed and not a single gate of it is opened, the gates of the Gardens are opened and not a single gate of them is closed, and a caller calls out: O seeker of good, come forward; O seeker of evil, desist. And Allah has people whom He frees from the Fire."

ابن خزيمة:١٧٧٦حدثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ كُرَيْبٍ قال حدثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «إِذَا كَانَ أَوَّلُ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، صُفِّدَتِ الشَّيَاطِينُ مَرَدَةُ الْجِنِّ، وَغُلِّقَتْ أَبْوَابُ النَّارِ فَلَمْ يُفْتَحْ مِنْهَا بَابٌ، وَفُتِّحَتْ أَبْوَابُ الْجِنَانِ فَلَمْ يُغْلَقْ مِنْهَا بَابٌ، وَنَادَى مُنَادٍ: يَا بَاغِيَ الْخَيْرِ أَقْبِلْ، وَيَا بَاغِيَ الشَّرِّ أَقْصِرْ، وَلِلَّهِ عُتَقَاءُ مِنَ النَّارِ».
