Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ عَرْفَجَةَ، قَالَ كُنْتُ فِي بَيْتٍ فِيهِ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ فَرْقَدٍ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُحَدِّثَ بِحَدِيثٍ وَكَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَأَنَّهُ أَوْلَى بِالْحَدِيثِ مِنِّي فَحَدَّثَ الرَّجُلُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ فِي رَمَضَانَ تُفْتَحُ فِيهِ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ وَتُغْلَقُ فِيهِ أَبْوَابُ النَّارِ وَيُصَفَّدُ فِيهِ كُلُّ شَيْطَانٍ مَرِيدٍ وَيُنَادِي مُنَادٍ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ يَا طَالِبَ الْخَيْرِ هَلُمَّ وَيَا طَالِبَ الشَّرِّ أَمْسِكْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us: Muhammad narrated to us: Shu bah narrated to us, from Ata ibn al-Saib, from Arfajah, who said: I was in a house with Utbah ibn Farqad and wanted to narrate a hadith. A man from among the Companions of the Prophet was there, and it seemed to me that he had a greater right to narrate it than I did. The man narrated from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: During Ramadan, the gates of heaven are opened, the gates of the Fire are closed, and every rebellious devil is chained. A caller announces every night, Seeker of good, come forward! Seeker of evil, desist!
