حدثنا علي بن أحمد بن عبد الله بن أحمد بن أبي عبد الله البرقي، قال: حدثني أبي، عن جده أحمد بن أبي عبد الله، عن أبيه، عن علي بن الحسين البرقي، قال: حدثني أبي، عن جده الحسن بن علي بن أبي طالب (عليه السلام)، قال: قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم): إن بين شعبان وشوّال شهر رمضان الذي أنزل فيه القرآن وهو شهر الله تعالى ذكره، وهو شهر البركة وهو شهر المغفرة وهو شهر الرحمة وهو شهر التوبة وهو شهر الإنابة وهو شهر قراءة القرآن وهو شهر الاستغفار وهو شهر الصيام وهو شهر الدعاء وهو شهر العبادة وهو شهر الطاعة وهو شهر العتق من النار والفوز بالجنة، من لم يغفر له في شهر رمضان لم يغفر له إلى قابل فأيكم متثق [يثق] ببلوغ شهر رمضان قابل، صوموه صيام من يرى أنه لا يصوم بعده أبداً، فكم من صائم له عاماً أول أمسى عامكم هذا في القبر مدفوناً؟ وأصبح في التراب وحيداً فريداً ينبهكم الله من رقدة الغافلين وغفر لنا ولكم يوم الدين!
ʿAlī b. Aḥmad b. ʿAbd Allāh b. Aḥmad b. Abī ʿAbd Allāh al-Barqī narrated to us, saying that his father narrated to him, from his grandfather—Aḥmad b. Abī ʿAbd Allāh—from his father, from ʿAlī b. al-Ḥusayn al-Barqī, saying that his father narrated to him, from his grandfather—al-Ḥasan b. ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib (as)—who said: “The Messenger of Allāh (sws) has said: “Verily, between Shaʿbān and Shawwāl there is the month of Ramaḍān, in which the Qurʾān was revealed, and it is the month of Allāh, exalted be His mention. It is the month of blessing, and of forgiveness, and of mercy, and of repentance, and of turning to Allāh, and of reciting the Qurʾān, and of seeking forgiveness, and of fasting, and of supplication, and of worship, and of obedience (to Allāh), and of freedom from the Fire, and of success through attainment of Paradise. Whoever does not earn forgiveness in the month of Ramaḍān will not be forgiven until the next, so which of you can trust that you will make it to the next month of Ramaḍān? Fast its fasting as if you were he who sees that he would never perform fasting in it again! How many of those who fasted a year ago have been buried in their graves this year? Now they have become alone and abandoned in the dust. May Allāh awaken you from the slumber of the heedless, and pardon yourselves and ourselves on the Day of Reckoning!”
