عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بُنْدَارَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« مَنْ صَلَّى لَيْلَةَ اَلنِّصْفِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ مِائَةَ رَكْعَةٍ يَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ بِقُلْ هُوَ اَللَّهُ أَحَدٌ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ أَهْبَطَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ اَلْمَلاَئِكَةِ عَشَرَةً يَدْرَءُونَ عَنْهُ أَعْدَاءَهُ مِنَ اَلْجِنِّ وَ اَلْإِنْسِ وَ أَهْبَطَ اَللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ ثَلاَثِينَ مَلَكاً يُؤْمِنُونَهُ مِنَ اَلنَّارِ»
From him, from Ahmad ibn Idris, from Muhammad ibn Bundar, who said: Muhammad ibn Ali narrated to us, from Ali ibn al-Hakam, from Sayf ibn Umayrah, from Sulayman ibn Amr, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said: The Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: “Whoever prays one hundred rak’ahs on the night of the middle of the Month of Ramadan, reciting in every rak’ah ‘Qul huwa Allahu Ahad’ (Surah Ikhlas) ten times, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, will send down to him ten angels who will ward off his enemies from among the jinn and humankind, And Allah سبحانه وتعالى will send down to him at the time of his death thirty angels who will secure him from the Fire.”
