Abū’l-Ḥasan Muḥammad b. ʿAlī b. al-Shāh informed us in Merv-on-the-River, [1] saying that Abū Bakr Muḥammad b. Ibrāhīm b. ʿAbd Allāh b. Yaʿqūb al-Anṭākī narrated to him among others in Antioch, saying that Muḥammad b. Aḥmad b. Abī Jaʿfar al-Ḥalabī narrated to him among others in al-Ṣīṣiya, saying that al-Ṣīʿiyya al-Kabīr b. al-Maʿānī narrated to him among others, saying that Muḥammad b. Marwān narrated to him among others, saying that Dāwūd b. Abī Hind [or ʿInd], from Abī Naḍra, from ʿAṭā b. Abī Riyāḥ, from Abī Saʿīd al-Khudrī, that the Messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said on a given day: “Verily, the gates of the sky are opened on the first night of the month of Ramaḍān and then are not shut until its last night. There is not a servant who performs prayer on a night of this month but that Allāh has 1,500 good deeds recorded for every prostration he performs, and constructed for him a dwelling—made of red rubies—in Heaven, with seventy thousand doors. Within this house is a palace made of gold, decorated with a single red ruby, and this palace also has seventy thousand doors. So, whoever fasts a day in the month of Ramaḍān, forgiven are all the sins that preceded him unto that day of the month of Ramaḍān, and likewise an expiation for all those sins that will come after. For every day that he fasts in the month of Ramaḍān is a palace (in Paradise) with a thousand doors of solid gold, and seventy thousand angels seeking forgiveness for him on his behalf, calling to him until he disappears behind the veil. Also, for every prostration he performs in day or in night is a tree under whose branches a rider could travel for a thousand years.”
