عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا دَخَلَ رَجَبٌ قَالَ: ((اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي رَجَبٍ وَشَعْبَانَ وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي رَمَضَانَ))، وَكَانَ يَقُولُ: ((لَيْلَةُ الْجُمُعَةِ غَرَّاءُ وَيَوْمُهَا أَزْهَرُ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that when the month of Rajab would begin, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to supplicate: O Allah! Bless us in Rajab and Sha’ban and make Ramadan blessed for us. And he, peace and blessings be upon him, also used to say: The night of Friday is radiant and its day is shining.
