Chapter on Supplication Between the Units of Prayer (Rak‘at)

عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« مَنْ قَرَأَ سُورَتَيِ اَلْعَنْكَبُوتِ وَ اَلرُّومِ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فِي لَيْلَةِ ثَلاَثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ فَهُوَ وَ اَللَّهِ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ اَلْجَنَّةِ لاَ أَسْتَثْنِي فِيهِ أَبَداً وَ لاَ أَخَافُ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ اَللَّهُ عَلَيَّ فِي يَمِينِي إِثْماً وَ إِنَّ لِهَاتَيْنِ اَلسُّورَتَيْنِ مِنَ اَللَّهِ مَكَاناً»
Ali ibn Hatim, from Muhammad ibn Ja’far, who said: Muhammad ibn Ahmad narrated to me, from Muhammad ibn Hassan, from Isma’il ibn Mihran, from al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali, from his father, from Abu Basir, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said: Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “Whoever recites the two Surahs; ‘al-Ankabut’ and ‘al-Rum’ during the Month of Ramadan on the night of the twenty-third. By Allah سبحانه وتعالى, O’ Aba Muhammad, (such person) he is among the people of Paradise. I do not make any exception in this at all, nor do I fear Allah سبحانه وتعالى will record a sin upon me for this statement. Indeed, these Surahs have a special status with Allah سبحانه وتعالى.”
