Hadith.2029 - It is narrated from Ali ibn Abi Hamzah who said
I was with Abu Abdullah (as) when Abu Basir said to him, "May I be your ransom! Which night is the one in which one can hope for what is hoped for?" Imam (as) replied: "It is on the night of the 21st or the 23rd." Abu Basir asked: "What if I cannot perform worship on both nights?" Imam (as) said: "How easy are two nights for what you seek!" Abu Basir then said: "Sometimes we see the crescent moon in our area, but we receive news that it was seen differently in another place." Imam (as) said: "How easy are four nights for what you seek in them!" Abu Basir asked: "May I be your ransom! Is the 23rd night the night of Al-Juhani?" Imam (as) replied: "That is said." Abu Basir further asked: "May I be your ransom! Sulayman ibn Khalid narrated that on the 19th night, the pilgrims' delegation is recorded." Imam (as) said: "O Abu Muhammad! The pilgrims' delegation is written on Laylatul Qadr, along with deaths, trials, provisions, and what will occur until the same time in the following year. So seek it on the 21st and 23rd nights. Pray 100 units (rak'ah) on each of these nights and spend them in worship until dawn, if you are able, and perform ghusl (ritual purification) on these nights." Abu Basir asked: "What if I cannot stand for prayer?" Imam (as) said: "Then pray while sitting." Abu Basir said: "What if I cannot do even that?" Imam (as) said: "Then pray while lying on your bed." Abu Basir asked: "What if I cannot do that either?" Imam (as) replied: "It is fine for you to take a brief nap at the beginning of the night. The gates of the heavens are opened in the Month of Ramadan, the devils are chained, and the deeds of the believers are accepted. What a blessed Month of Ramadan is! In the time of the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), it was called 'the month of sustenance.'"
2029 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ
كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ اَللَّيْلَةُ اَلَّتِي يُرْجَى فِيهَا مَا يُرْجَى أَيُّ لَيْلَةٍ هِيَ فَقَالَ «فِي لَيْلَةِ إِحْدَى وَ عِشْرِينَ أَوْ ثَلاَثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ » قَالَ فَإِنْ لَمْ أَقْوَ عَلَى كِلْتَيْهِمَا فَقَالَ «مَا أَيْسَرَ لَيْلَتَيْنِ فِيمَا تَطْلُبُ» قَالَ فَقُلْتُ رُبَّمَا رَأَيْنَا اَلْهِلاَلَ عِنْدَنَا وَ جَاءَنَا مَنْ يُخْبِرُنَا بِخِلاَفِ ذَلِكَ فِي أَرْضٍ أُخْرَى فَقَالَ «مَا أَيْسَرَ أَرْبَعَ لَيَالٍ فِيمَا تَطْلُبُ فِيهَا» قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ لَيْلَةُ ثَلاَثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةُ اَلْجُهَنِيِّ قَالَ «إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَيُقَالُ» قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ خَالِدٍ رَوَى أَنَّ فِي تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ يُكْتَبُ وَفْدُ اَلْحَاجِّ فَقَالَ «يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَفْدُ اَلْحَاجِّ يُكْتَبُ فِي لَيْلَةِ اَلْقَدْرِ وَ اَلْمَنَايَا وَ اَلْبَلاَيَا وَ اَلْأَرْزَاقُ وَ مَا يَكُونُ إِلَى مِثْلِهَا فِي قَابِلٍ فَاطْلُبْهَا فِي إِحْدَى وَ عِشْرِينَ وَ ثَلاَثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ وَ صَلِّ فِي كُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا مِائَةَ رَكْعَةٍ وَ أَحْيِهِمَا إِنِ اِسْتَطَعْتَ إِلَى اَلنُّورِ وَ اِغْتَسِلْ فِيهِمَا» قَالَ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ لَمْ أَقْدِرْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ أَنَا قَائِمٌ قَالَ «فَصَلِّ وَ أَنْتَ جَالِسٌ» قُلْتُ فَإِنْ لَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ قَالَ «فَعَلَى فِرَاشِكَ» قُلْتُ فَإِنْ لَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ فَقَالَ «لاَ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَكْتَحِلَ أَوَّلَ اَللَّيْلِ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ اَلنَّوْمِ إِنَّ أَبْوَابَ اَلسَّمَاءِ تُفَتَّحُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ تُصَفَّدُ اَلشَّيَاطِينُ وَ تُقْبَلُ اَلْأَعْمَالُ أَعْمَالُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ نِعْمَ اَلشَّهْرُ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ كَانَ يُسَمَّى عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ اَلْمَرْزُوقَ ».
