حدثنا محمد بن إبراهيم بن إسحاق، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد الكوفي، عن علي بن الحسن بن علي بن فضّال، عن أبيه، عن أبي الحسن علي بن موسى الرضا (عليه السلام)، قال: من صام ثلاثة أيام من آخر شعبان ووصلها بشهر رمضان كتب الله صوم شهرين متتابعين، ومن صام رمضاناً إيماناً وإحتساباً خرج من الذنوب كيوم ولدته أمه. قال (عليه السلام): حدثني أبي، عن جده (عليهما السلام)، أن رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) قال: من أدرك شهر رمضان فلم يغفر له فأبعده الله، ومن أدرك ليلة القدر فلم يغفر له فأبعده الله، ومن ذكرت عنده فصلى علي ولم يغفر له فأبعده الله. قيل: يا رسول الله كيف يصلي عليك ولم يغفر له؟ فقال (عليه السلام): إن العبد وإذا صلى علي ولم يصل على آلي لفت تلك الصلاة وضرب بها وجهه، وإذا صلى علي وعلى آلي غفر له.
Muḥammad b. Ibrāhīm b. Isḥāq narrated to us, saying that Aḥmad b. Muḥammad al-Kūfī narrated to him among others, from ʿAlī b. al-Ḥasan b. ʿAlī b. Faḍḍāl, from his father, from Abī’l-Ḥasan, ʿAlī b. Mūsā al-Riḍā (as), who said: “Whoever fasts for three days right at the end of Shaʿbān, thereby connecting it with (the fasts of) the month of Ramaḍān, Allāh shall have it recorded for him that he fasted for two whole consecutive months. And whoever fasts for a (whole instance of) Ramaḍān, having established faith in and having accounted for its reward, will receive absolution from sins as if it were the day his mother gave birth to him.” The Imam (as) continued: “My father narrated to me, from his grandfather (as-d), that the Messenger of Allāh (sawa) has said: “Whoever comes to know the month of Ramaḍān and yet is not forgiven, then may Allāh distance him! And whoever comes to know the Night of Power and yet is not forgiven, then may Allāh distance him! And whoever has heard mention of me and sends upon me salutations and yet is not forgiven, then may Allāh distance him!” Someone said to him: “How can somebody send salutations upon you, o’ Messenger of Allāh, and yet not be forgiven?,” so he (as) replied: “Such salutations are thrown back in the face of a servant (of Allāh) who sends them upon me but neglects to do the same upon the members of my House. Whoever sends salutations upon both me and my House, then he is forgiven.”
