Hadith 247
۞
5. And from the previous chain from al-Hussain b. Sa’eed from al-Hussain b. Alwan from ’Amru b. Shimr from ’Amru b. Khalid from Zayd b. Ali from his forefathers from Ali (a.s.) who said
‘Call upon Me, I will answer you’. You have been given the assurance of acceptance of supplications. Seven angels are appointed for arresting each Satan so that none can overpower you till the end of this month. Know that, the doors of heaven are opened from the first night of Ramadan and that the supplications in this month are always accepted.”
وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ عُلْوَانَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ زَیْدِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ عَلِیٍّ ع قَالَ
لَمَّا حَضَرَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَی عَلَیْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَیُّهَا النَّاسُ کَفَاکُمُ اللَّهُ عَدُوَّکُمْ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ قَالَ ادْعُونِی أَسْتَجِبْ لَکُمْ وَ وَعَدَکُمُ الْإِجَابَهَ أَلَا وَ قَدْ وَکَّلَ اللَّهُ بِکُلِّ شَیْطَانٍ مَرِیدٍ سَبْعَهً مِنْ مَلَائِکَتِهِ فَلَیْسَ بمخلوق [بِمَحْلُولٍ] حَتَّی یَنْقَضِیَ شَهْرُکُمْ هَذَا أَلَا وَ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ مُفَتَّحَهٌ مِنْ أَوَّلِ لَیْلَهٍ مِنْهُ أَلَا وَ الدُّعَاءُ فِیهِ مَقْبُولٌ.
