8. Imam Muhammad Baqir عليه السلام narrates that the month of Ramadan was nearing and three days of Shaban were left when the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم told Bilal رضي الله عنه to call people to him. When people came, the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم mounted the pulpit and praised and glorified the Lord. Then he said, “The month, which you are going to have now is supreme among all other months. There is a night in this month, which is better than a thousand months. The doors of Hell are closed in this month and the doors of Paradise are opened. One who is not forgiven in this month also then Allah distances him. Similarly if a person has parents and is not able to get himself forgiven then Allah distances him. One who does not recite Salawat when I am mentioned in front of him, his salvation is not possible and Allah distances him.”
