مَا مِنْ يَوْمٍ يَأْتِي عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا قَالَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ أَنَا يَوْمٌ جَدِيدٌ وَ أَنَا عَلَيْكَ شَهِيدٌ فَقُلْ فِيَّ خَيْراً وَ اعْمَلْ فِيَّ خَيْراً أَشْهَدْ لَكَ بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَإِنَّكَ لَنْ تَرَانِي بَعْدَهَا أَبَداً قَالَ وَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا أَمْسَى يَقُولُ مَرْحَباً بِاللَّيْلِ الْجَدِيدِ وَ الْكَاتِبِ الشَّهِيدِ اكْتُبَا عَلَى اسْمِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ يَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al Ashary, from Ibn Al Qaddah, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘There is none from the days which comes to the son of Adam<sup>as</sup> except, that day would say: ‘O son of Adam<sup>as</sup>! I am a new day, and I am a witness upon you, therefore speak good during me, and do good deeds during me, I shall testify with it on the Day of Judgment, for you will not be seeing me (again) afterwards, ever”’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And it was so that whenever it was evening, Ali<sup>asws</sup> was saying: ‘Welcome to the new night and the recording witnesses who both write by the Name of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> would mention (do <span class="iTxt">Zikr</span> of) Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic’.
