Hadith 680:1
Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us, Shu'bah narrated to us, from 'Ata' ibn al-Sa'ib, from 'Arfajah, who said: "I was in a house in which was 'Utbah ibn Farqad, and I wanted to narrate a hadith. He said: There was a man from the companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, who seemed more entitled to narrate than him. He said: So the man narrated from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, that he said: 'In Ramadan, the gates of the heaven are opened, the gates of the Fire are closed, and every rebellious devil is shackled therein. And a caller calls out every night: O seeker of good, come forward; and O seeker of evil, refrain.'"
حدثنا محمد بن جعفر، حدثنا شعبة، عن عطاء بن السائب، عن عرفجة قال: " كنت في بيت فيه عتبة بن فرقد، فأردت أن أحدث بحديث، قال: فكان رجل من أصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، كأنه أولى بالحديث منه، قال: فحدث الرجل، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال: " في رمضان تفتح أبواب السماء، وتغلق أبواب النار، ويصفد فيه كل شيطان مريد، وينادي مناد كل ليلة: يا طالب الخير هلم، ويا طالب الشر أمسك "
