أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبٌ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَائٌ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يُخْبِرُنَا قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِامْرَأَةٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ إِذَا کَانَ رَمَضَانُ فَاعْتَمِرِي فِيهِ فَإِنَّ عُمْرَةً فِيهِ تَعْدِلُ حَجَّةً
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2116
It was narrated that ‘Arfajah said: “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 صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم there, and I felt it was more appropriate for him to narrate the Hadith than I. The man narrated that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said, concerning Ramaclan: ‘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: seeker of good, proceed; seeker of evil, desist!” (Hasan)
