7. `Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn `Imran al-Daqqa (RA) said: Muhhamd ibn Huran al-Suri said: `Ubays Allah ibn Musa Abu Talib al-Rawyani said, on the authority of `Abd al-`Azim ibn `Abd Allah al-Hasani, on the authority of Ibrahim ibn Abu Mahmud that
I asked al-Rida (AS): “O son of the Messenger of Allah! What do you say about the tradition which people narrate from the Messenger of Allah (SA) that he said: `Verily, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, comes down from the heaven of this world every night?’” Thus, he (AS) replied, May the curse of Allah be upon those who alter words from their place! By Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, sends down an angel from heaven to this world during the third part of every night, and the first part of Friday night. Hence, He commands him, so he calls, “Is there any supplicant on whom I can bestow his wish? Is there anyone who is repenting so that I can forgive him? Is there anyone seeking forgiveness so that I may forgive him? O seekers of goodness, come! O seekers of evil, abstain!” He constantly proclaims this till dawn breaks. When dawn breaks, he return to his place in the realm of heaven. My father related to me this on the authority of my grandfather from the Messenger of Allah (SA).
7 - حدثنا علي بن أحمد بن محمد بن عمران الدقاق رضي الله عنه، قال: حدثنا محمد بن هارون الصوفي، قال: حدثنا عبيد الله بن موسى أبو تراب الروياني، عن عبد العظيم بن عبد الله الحسني، عن إبراهيم بن أبي محمود، قال
قلت للرضا عليه السلام: يا ابن رسول الله ما تقول في الحديث الذي يرويه الناس عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم أنه قال: إن الله تبارك وتعالى ينزل كل ليلة إلى السماء الدنيا؟ فقال عليه السلام: لعن الله المحرفين الكلم عن مواضعه، والله ما قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم كذلك، إنما قال صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم: إن الله تبارك وتعالى ينزل ملكا إلى السماء الدنيا كل ليلة في الثلث الأخير، وليلة الجمعة في أول الليل فيأمره فينادي هل من سائل فاعطيه؟ هل من تائب فأتوب عليه؟ هل من مستغفر فأغفر له؟ يا طالب الخير أقبل، يا طالب الشر اقصر، فلا يزال ينادي بهذا حتى يطلع الفجر، فإذا طلع الفجر عاد إلى محله من ملكوت السماء، حدثني بذلك أبي عن جدي، عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم.
