Merits of the Month of Ramaḍān

حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه، قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم بن هاشم، عن هارون بن مسلم، عن مسعدة، عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) أن رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله)، قال: إن الله عز وجل وكل ملائكة بالدعاء للصائمين، وقال: أخبرني جبرئيل (عليه السلام) عن ربى تبارك وتعالى أنه قال: ما أمرت ملائكتي بالدعاء لأحد من خلقي إلا استجبت لهم فيه.
My father رضي الله عنه narrated to us, saying that ʿAlī b. Ibrāhīm b. Hāshim narrated to him among others, from Hārūn b. Muslim, from Masʿada, from Abī ʿAbd Allāh عليه السلام, that the Messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وعلى آله has said: “Indeed, Allāh عز وجل has appointed angels as trustees over the supplications of those who fast.” The Prophet has also said: “Jibraʿīl عليه السلام has informed me that my Lord تبارك وتعالى has said: “I have not commanded my angels (as trustees) upon the supplication of anyone of My creations but that such a person will receive an answer (due to the angels’ trusteeship).”
