"عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: لَمَّا كَانَ أَوَّلُ لَيْلَةٍ (من) رَمَضان قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وأثْنَى عَلَى اللهِ وَقَال: أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ! قَدْ كَفَاكُمُ الله عَدُوَكُمْ مِنَ الجِنِّ، وَوَعَدَكُمُ الإِجَابَةَ، وَقَالَ: {ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ} ألاَ وَقَدْ وَكَلَ الله - ﷻ - بِكُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ مَرِيد سَبْعَةً مِنَ الْملاَئِكَةِ، فَلَيْس بِمحلولٍ حَتَّى ينَقْضِىَ شَهرُ رَمَضانَ أَلا وأبْوَابُ السَّماءِ مُفَتَحةٌ مِنْ أؤَلِ لَيْلَة إِلى آخِرِ لَيْلَة مِنْه، ألاَ والدُّعاءُ فِيه مَقْبُولٌ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ أَوَّلُ لَيْلَة (منه) مِنَ العَشْرِ شَمَّرَ وشَدَّ الْمِئْزَرَ وَخَرجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ واعْتَكَفَهُنَّ وَأحْيَا اللَّيلَ، قيل: وَمَا شَدُّ الْمِئْزَرِ؟ قَالَ: كَانَ يَعْتَزِلُ النِّسَاءَ فِيهِنَّ".

"On the authority of 'Ali, who said: When the first night of Ramadan came, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up, praised Allah, and said: 'O people! Allah has sufficed you against your enemy from among the jinn, and has promised you that He will answer you.' And he said: {Call upon Me, I will respond to you}. Behold, Allah, Exalted is He, has appointed seven angels for every rebellious devil, so he is not released until the month of Ramadan ends. Behold, the gates of heaven are open from the first night of it to its last night. Behold, supplication during it is accepted. When the first night of the last ten came, he would gird his waist, leave his house, observe i'tikaf during them, and spend the night in prayer.' It was said: 'What is girding the waist?' He said: 'He would abstain from women during them.'"
