44 - حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بَكْرِان النقاش وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْراهيمِ بْنِ إِسْحاق المُؤَدِّبُ رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ‏حَدَّثَنا أَحْمَدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الهَمْدانِيَّ، عَن عَلِىِّ بْنِ الحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِىِّ بْنِ فضال عَنْ أَبيهِ قالَ سَأَلْت عَلِىِّ بْنِ مُوسَى الرِّضا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ، عَن لَيْلَةِ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ قَالَ هِيَ لَيْلَةٌ يُعْتِقُ اللَّهُ فِيهَا الرِّقَابَ مِنَ النَّارِ وَيَغْفِرُ فِيهَا الذُّنُوبَ الْكِبَارَ قُلْتُ فَهَلْ فِيهَا صَلاةٌ زِيَادَةً عَلَىسَائِرِ اللَّيَالِي فَقَالَ لَيْسَ فِيهَا شَيْ‏ءٌ مُوَظَّفٌ وَلَكِنْ إِنْ أَحْبَبْتَ أَنْ تَتَطَوَّعَ فِيهَا بِشَيْ‏ءٍ فَعَلَيْكَ بِصَلاةِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ‏ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ وَأَكْثِرْ فِيهَا مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَمِنَ الاسْتِغْفَارِ وَالدُّعَاءِ فَإِنَّ أَبِي‏ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ كَانَ يَقُولُ الدُّعَاءُ فِيهَا مُسْتَجَابٌ قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّهَا لَيْلَةُ الصِّكَاكِ فَقَالَ‏ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ تِلْكَ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ.

Translation

28-44 Muhammad ibn Bakran al-Naqqash and Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn Ishaq al-Mu’addib - may God be pleased with them - narrated that Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hamdani quoted on the authority of Ali ibn Al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn Fadhdhal, on the authority of his father, “I asked Ali ibn Musa Al-Ridha (s) about the night of the middle of Sha’ban. The Imam (s) said, “It is the night to get released from the Fire. On that night major sins will be forgiven.” I said, “Are there any additional prayers for that night?” The Imam (s) said, “It does not have any especial prayers. However, if you like to do a recommendable act on that nightyou can say the Ja’far ibn Abi Talib’s Prayer and mention the Honorable the Exalted God, ask for forgiveness and supplicate a lot. My father (s) said, ‘Supplications are accepted (fulfilled) on that night.’ I said, “The people say that that night is the night of ‘Sekak.“ The Imam (s) said, “That is the Night of Power (‘Qadr) in the (Arabic) month of Ramadan.”
