حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ بْنِ كُرَيْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِى صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا كَانَ أَوَّلُ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ صُفِّدَتِ الشَّيَاطِينُ وَمَرَدَةُ الْجِنِّ وَغُلِّقَتْ أَبْوَابُ النَّارِ فَلَمْ يُفْتَحْ مِنْهَا بَابٌ وَفُتِّحَتْ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ فَلَمْ يُغْلَقْ مِنْهَا بَابٌ وَيُنَادِى مُنَادٍ يَا بَاغِىَ الْخَيْرِ أَقْبِلْ وَيَا بَاغِىَ الشَّرِّ أَقْصِرْ وَلِلَّهِ عُتَقَاءُ مِنَ النَّارِ وَذَلِكَ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ. قَالَ وَفِى الْبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ وَابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَسَلْمَانَ.
"The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, 'When it is the first night of the month of Ramadān, the devils and most evil jinns (1) are chained. The gates of Hell are firmly locked, such that none remains open; and the gates of Paradise are flung open, such that none remains closed. A caller proclaims, "Seeker of good, advance! Seeker of evil, withold!" and there are many whom God frees from Fire; and that is every night [of the month] (2).'"(3) Footnotes (1): invisible creatures of fire. (2): alternatively, the phrase, "and that happens every night [of the month]", could also include the proclamation of the caller. (3): This hadīth refers to people's sound instinct (الفطرة السليمة)that guides them to refrain during Ramadan from listening to the devils' temptations and encourages them towards things that lead them to heaven.

حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ وَالْمُحَارِبِىُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِى سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ وَقَامَهُ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَمَنْ قَامَ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ الَّذِى رَوَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ رِوَايَةِ أَبِى بَكْرِ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِى صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِى بَكْرٍ.
Abu-Hurayrah said, "The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, 'Whoever fasts [the month of] Ramadān and establishes its voluntary night prayers - out of faith(1) and hope for reward [from God] - then all his past sins will be forgiven(2). And whoever performs voluntary night prayers on the Glorious Night of Determination(3) - out of faith and hope for reward [from God]—then all his past sins will be forgiven. Footnotes (1): i.e. believing that it is a religious obligation and one of the pillars of Islām, and that God has promised to reward those who fast. (2): Except major sins. (3): The night during which the Qur'ān was first revealed to prophet Muhammad. It occurs on one of the last ten nights of Ramadān, though God only knows which. The Qur'ān states that on this night, God determines the course of the world and all human affairs for the coming year. Click on ḥadīth to read more
