1830 - وَ رَوَى حَرِيزٌ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَا تَقُولُ فِي لَيْلَةِ اَلنِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ قَالَ «يَغْفِرُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيهَا مِنْ خَلْقِهِ لِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ عَدَدِ شَعْرِ مِعْزَى كَلْبٍ وَ يُنْزِلُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَلاَئِكَتَهُ إِلَى اَلسَّمَاءِ اَلدُّنْيَا وَ إِلَى اَلْأَرْضِ بِمَكَّةَ ». وقد أخرجت ما رويته في هذا المعنى في كتاب فضائل شعبان.

Hadith.1830 - It is narrated by Hariz from Zurara, who said: "I said to Abu Ja‘far (Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as)): 'What do you say about the night of the middle of Sha‘ban?' Imam (as) said: 'On that night, Allah (swt), the Almighty, forgives more of His creation than the number of the hairs on the goats of the tribe of Kalb. On that night, Allah (swt), the Almighty, sends down His angels to the lowest heaven and to the earth in Mecca.'"
