Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ لَمَّا حَضَرَ رَمَضَانُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ جَاءَكُمْ رَمَضَانُ شَهْرٌ مُبَارَكٌ افْتَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ صِيَامَهُ تُفْتَحُ فِيهِ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ وَتُغْلَقُ فِيهِ أَبْوَابُ الْجَحِيمِ وَتُغَلُّ فِيهِ الشَّيَاطِينُ فِيهِ لَيْلَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ مَنْ حُرِمَ خَيْرَهَا فَقَدْ حُرِمَ.
English Translation
Isma'il narrated to us, from Ayyub, from Abu Qilabah, from Abu Hurayrah who said: When Ramadan came, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Ramadan has come to you, a blessed month. Allah has made fasting it obligatory upon you. In it the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hellfire are closed, and the devils are chained. In it there is a night better than a thousand months. Whoever is deprived of its goodness has truly been deprived."
