حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي أَنَسٍ، مَوْلَى التَّيْمِيِّينَ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ

حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ، سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رضى الله عنه يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا دَخَلَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ فُتِّحَتْ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ، وَغُلِّقَتْ أَبْوَابُ جَهَنَّمَ، وَسُلْسِلَتِ الشَّيَاطِينُ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “When the month of Ramadan starts, the gates of the heaven are opened and the gates of Hell are closed and the devils are chained.”

আবূ হুরাইরাহ্ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলতেন, আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ রমাযান আসলে আসমানের দরজাসমূহ খুলে দেয়া হয় এবং জাহান্নামের দরজাসমূহ বন্ধ করে দেয়া হয় আর শয়তানগুলোকে শিকলবন্দী করে দেয়া হয়। (১৮৯৮)

مجھ سے یحییٰ بن بکیر نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ مجھ سے لیث بن سعد نے بیان کیا، ان سے عقیل نے ان سے ابن شہاب زہری نے بیان کیا کہ مجھے بنو تمیم کے مولیٰ ابوسہیل بن ابی انس نے خبر دی، ان سے ان کے والد نے بیان کیا، اور انہوں نے ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ کو کہتے سنا کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا جب رمضان کا مہینہ آتا ہے تو آسمان کے تمام دروازے کھول دیئے جاتے ہیں، جہنم کے دروازے بند کر دیئے جاتے ہیں اور شیاطین کو زنجیروں سے جکڑ دیا جاتا ہے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Yahya bin Bukair] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada saya [Al Laits] dari ['Uqail] dari [Ibnu Syihab] berkata, telah mengabarkan kepada saya [Ibnu Abu Anas, maulanya at-Taymiyyiin] bahwa [bapaknya] menceritakan kepadanya bahwa dia mendengar [Abu Hurairah radliallahu 'anhu] berkata, Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Apabila bulan Ramadhah datang, maka pintu-pintu langit dibuka sedangkan pintu-pintu jahannam ditutup dan syaitan-syaitan dibelenggu

Ebu Hureyre'den nakledildiğine göre Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurmuştur: "Ramazan ayı girince göklerin kapıları açılır, cehennem'in kapıları kapatılır ve şeytanlar zincirlere vurulur

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that when the month of Ramadan comes, three things take place: First: The gates of Paradise are opened, and none of its gates are closed. Second: The gates of Hellfire are closed, and none of its gates are opened. Third: The devils and rebellious jinn are chained, so they cannot reach what they would usually reach outside Ramadan.

All of this is to honor this month and encourage people to increase acts of obedience, such as prayer, charity, remembrance of Allah, recitation of the Qur’an, and other good deeds, as well as refraining from sins and misdeeds.

What it teaches

  • The merit of the month of Ramadan.
  • Bearing glad tidings for those who fast in it, that this blessed month is a season of worship and goodness.
  • Chaining the devils during Ramadan is an indication of the removal of excuses for the person who is held accountable for religious duties, as if it is being said to him: The devils have been restrained from you, so do not use them as an excuse for neglecting acts of obedience or committing sins.
  • Al-Qurtubi said: If it is asked: How do we see evils and sins occurring frequently in Ramadan, if the devils are chained? The answer is that they are only restrained from those who observe the fast with its conditions and adhere to its etiquettes. Or it is the rebellious devils who are chained, not all of them, as mentioned in some narrations. Or it is intended that the evils are reduced during this month, which is a tangible matter; for the occurrence of such acts in Ramadan is less than in other months. This is because the chaining of all the devils does not entail that no evil or sin can occur, as there are other causes for them, such as corrupt souls, bad habits, and human devils.
