2013 - رَوَى اَلْفُضَيْلُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ : «إِذَا دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ بَلْدَةً فَهُوَ ضَيْفٌ عَلَى مَنْ بِهَا مِنْ أَهْلِ دِينِهِ حَتَّى يَرْحَلَ عَنْهُمْ وَ لاَ يَنْبَغِي لِلضَّيْفِ أَنْ يَصُومَ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِمْ لِئَلاَّ يَعْمَلُوا شَيْئاً فَيَفْسُدَ وَ لاَ يَنْبَغِي لَهُمْ أَنْ يَصُومُوا إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِ اَلضَّيْفِ لِئَلاَّ يَحْتَشِمَهُمْ وَ يَشْتَهِي فَيَتْرُكُهُ لَهُمْ.

Hadith.2013 - It is narrated by al-Fudhayl ibn Yasar from Abu Ja’far (as) that the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said: "When a man enters a town, he is a guest of those among its people who share his faith until he departs. It is not appropriate for the guest to fast without their permission so that they do not prepare something and it goes to waste. Nor is it appropriate for them to fast without the guest's permission so that he does not feel constrained and refrain from what he desires for their sake."

2014 - وَ رَوَى نَشِيطُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ : «مِنْ فِقْهِ اَلضَّيْفِ أَنْ لاَ يَصُومَ تَطَوُّعاً إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِ صَاحِبِهِ وَ مِنْ طَاعَةِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ لِزَوْجِهَا أَنْ لاَ تَصُومَ تَطَوُّعاً إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ وَ أَمْرِهِ وَ مِنْ صَلاَحِ اَلْعَبْدِ وَ طَاعَتِهِ وَ نَصِيحَتِهِ لِمَوْلاَهُ أَنْ لاَ يَصُومَ تَطَوُّعاً إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِ مَوْلاَهُ وَ مِنْ بِرِّ اَلْوَلَدِ بِأَبَوَيْهِ أَنْ لاَ يَصُومَ تَطَوُّعاً إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِ أَبَوَيْهِ وَ أَمْرِهِمَا وَ إِلاَّ كَانَ اَلضَّيْفُ جَاهِلاً وَ كَانَتِ اَلْمَرْأَةُ عَاصِيَةً وَ كَانَ اَلْعَبْدُ فَاسِداً عَاصِياً وَ كَانَ اَلْوَلَدُ عَاقّاً ».

Hadith.2014 - Nashit ibn Salih narrated from Hisham ibn al-Hakam from Abu Abdullah (as) that the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said: "Among the etiquettes of a guest is that he does not fast voluntarily except with the host's permission. Among the obedience of a wife to her husband is that she does not fast voluntarily except with his permission and instruction. Among the righteousness and obedience of a servant to his master is that he does not fast voluntarily except with his master's permission. Among the dutifulness of a child to their parents is that they do not fast voluntarily except with their parents' permission and command. Otherwise, the guest would be ignorant, the wife disobedient, the servant corrupt and sinful, and the child undutiful."

Hadith.2022 - It is narrated that the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, was shown in his dream that the sons of Umayyah would ascend his pulpit after him, leading people astray and turning them away from the straight path. When he awoke, he was sorrowful and grieved. Archangel Jibril (as) descended to him and asked: "O Messenger of Allah (swt), why do I see you sorrowful and grieved?" The Prophet replied: "O Jibril, I saw in my dream the sons of Umayyah ascending my pulpit after me, leading people astray and turning them away from the straight path." Archangel Jibril (as) said: "By the One who sent you with the truth as a Prophet, I was not aware of this matter." He then ascended to the heavens and shortly returned with verses of the Quran to console the Prophet (sw): "Have you considered if We let them enjoy themselves for years, then there comes to them that which they were promised, it will not avail them that which they used to enjoy." (Surah Ash-Shu’ara 26:205–207) And He revealed to Him (sw): "Indeed, We sent it down during the Night of Qadr. And what will make you know what the Night of Qadr is? The Night of Qadr is better than a thousand months." (Surah Al-Qadr 97:1–3) Allah (swt) made the Night of Qadr for His Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, better than a thousand months of the rule of the sons of Umayyah.

Hadith.2023 - A man asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as): "Inform me about Laylatul Qadr; was it [only in the past], or does it occur every year?" Imam (as) replied: "If Laylatul Qadr were removed, the Quran would be removed."

Hadith.2024 - Humran asked Abu Ja'far (as) about the saying of Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic: "Indeed, We sent it down on a blessed night" (Surah Ad-Dukhan 44:3). Imam (as) replied: "It is Laylatul Qadr, and it occurs every year in the Month of Ramadan, during its last ten nights. The Quran was revealed only on Laylatul Qadr. Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'Therein every wise matter is made distinct' (Surah Ad-Dukhan 44:4)." Imam (as) continued: "On Laylatul Qadr, everything that will occur in that year, up to its equivalent time in the following year, is decreed — whether good or evil, obedience or disobedience, life or death, or sustenance. Whatever is decreed and decided on that night is inevitable. Yet, Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, has the will (to alter decrees as He pleases)." Humran then asked: "Laylatul Qadr is better than a thousand months — what does this mean?" Imam (as) replied: "Righteous deeds on Laylatul Qadr are better than those performed over a thousand months. Were it not for Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, multiplying the rewards for believers, they would not reach this merit. However, Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, multiplies good deeds for them."

2025 - وَ سُئِلَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : كَيْفَ تَكُونُ لَيْلَةُ اَلْقَدْرِ خَيْراً «مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ» قَالَ «اَلْعَمَلُ اَلصَّالِحُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ اَلْعَمَلِ فِي أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا لَيْلَةُ اَلْقَدْرِ ».

Hadith.2025 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) was asked, "How is Laylatul Qadr better than a thousand months?" Imam (as) replied: "Righteous deeds performed on it are better than deeds performed in a thousand months that do not contain Laylatul Qadr."

2026 - وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «نَزَلَتِ اَلتَّوْرَاةُ فِي سِتٍّ مَضَيْنَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ نَزَلَ اَلْإِنْجِيلُ فِي اِثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ مَضَتْ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ نَزَلَ اَلزَّبُورُ فِي لَيْلَةِ ثَمَانَ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ نَزَلَ اَلْقُرْآنُ [ اَلْفُرْقَانُ ] فِي لَيْلَةِ اَلْقَدْرِ ».

Hadith.2026 - Ali ibn Abi Hamzah narrated from Abu Basir, who narrated from Abu Abdullah (as), who said: "The Torah was revealed on the sixth of Month of Ramadan, the Injil (Gospel) was revealed on the twelfth of Month of Ramadan, the Zabur (Psalms) was revealed on the eighteenth of Month of Ramadan, and the Quran [Al-Furqan] was revealed on Laylatul Qadr."

2027 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ عَلاَمَةِ لَيْلَةِ اَلْقَدْرِ فَقَالَ «عَلاَمَتُهَا أَنْ تَطِيبَ رِيحُهَا وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ فِي بَرْدٍ دَفِئَتْ وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ فِي حَرٍّ بَرَدَتْ وَ طَابَتْ».

Hadith.2027 - It is narrated from Al-Ala from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who narrated from one of the two (Imam Al-Baqir (as) or Imam Al-Sadiq (as), peace be upon them), who said: "I asked him about the sign of Laylatul Qadr, and Imam (as) replied: 'Its sign is that its breeze is pleasant; if it is in cold weather, it becomes warm, and if it is in hot weather, it becomes cool and pleasant.'"

2028 - وَ سُئِلَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ لَيْلَةِ اَلْقَدْرِ فَقَالَ «تَنَزَّلُ فِيهَا اَلْمَلاَئِكَةُ وَ اَلْكَتَبَةُ إِلَى اَلسَّمَاءِ اَلدُّنْيَا فَيَكْتُبُونَ مَا يَكُونُ فِي أَمْرِ اَلسَّنَةِ وَ مَا يُصِيبُ اَلْعِبَادَ وَ أَمْرٌ عِنْدَهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَوْقُوفٌ لَهُ فِيهِ اَلْمَشِيئَةُ فَيُقَدِّمُ مِنْهُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَ يُؤَخِّرُ مِنْهُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَ يَمْحُو وَ «۝ يُثْبِتُ وَ عِنْدَهُ أُمُّ اَلْكِتٰابِ ۝» ».

Hadith.2028 - Imam (as) was asked about Laylatul Qadr, and Imam (as) said: "On it, the angels and the scribes descend to the lowest heaven, where they record what will occur during the year, including what will befall the servants. However, there is an affair with Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, that remains subject to His will: He advances from it what He wills, delays from it what He wills, erases, and establishes. 'And with Him is the Mother of the Book' (Surah Ar-Ra'd 13:39)."

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 ».

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.'"

2030 - وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمْرَانَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ اَلسِّمْطِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَللَّيَالِي اَلَّتِي يُرْجَى فِيهَا مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ « تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ وَ إِحْدَى وَ عِشْرِينَ وَ ثَلاَثٌ وَ عِشْرِينَ » قُلْتُ فَإِنْ أَخَذَتْ إِنْسَاناً اَلْفَتْرَةُ أَوْ عِلَّةٌ مَا اَلْمُعْتَمَدُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ « ثَلاَثٌ وَ عِشْرِينَ ».

Hadith.2030 - It is narrated from Muhammad ibn Humran, from Sufyan ibn Al-Simt, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about the nights in the Month of Ramadan that are hoped to be special. Imam (as) replied: "The 19th, 21st, and 23rd." I asked: "What if a person is overtaken by weakness or illness? Which night should be relied upon from these?" Imam (as) replied: "The 23rd."

2031 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَللَّيَالِي اَلَّتِي يُسْتَحَبُّ فِيهَا اَلْغُسْلُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ « لَيْلَةُ تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ وَ لَيْلَةُ إِحْدَى وَ عِشْرِينَ وَ لَيْلَةُ ثَلاَثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ » وَ قَالَ « لَيْلَةُ ثَلاَثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ هِيَ لَيْلَةُ اَلْجُهَنِيِّ وَ حَدِيثُهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ إِنَّ مَنْزِلِي نَاءٍ عَنِ اَلْمَدِينَةِ فَمُرْنِي بِلَيْلَةٍ أَدْخُلُ فِيهَا فَأَمَرَهُ بِلَيْلَةِ ثَلاَثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ ».

Hadith.2031 - In a narration from Abdullah ibn Bukayr, from Zurara, from one of the two (Imam Al-Baqir (as) or Imam Al-Sadiq (as), peace be upon them), he said: I asked him about the nights in the Month of Ramadan in which it is recommended to perform ghusl (ritual purification). Imam (as) replied: "The 19th night, the 21st night, and the 23rd night." Imam continued: "The 23rd night is the night of Al-Juhani. His story is that he said to the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), 'My home is far from Medina. Command me to dedicate a specific night to enter [for worship].' So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) instructed him to dedicate the 23rd night."
