Faḍāʾil al-Ashhur al-Thalātha 1, narration 20

Translation

My father (ra) narrated to us, saying that Muḥammad b. Abī’l-Qāsim narrated to him among others, from Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Kūfī, from Naṣr b. Muzāḥim, from Abī ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Masʿūdī, from al-ʿAlāʾ b. Yazīd al-ʿUranī, who said that al-Ṣādiq, Jaʿfar b. Muḥammad (as), has said that his father narrated to him, from his father, from his grandfather (as-p), who transmitted that which the Messenger of Allāh (sawa) has stated: “Shaʿbān is my month, and the month of Ramaḍān is the month of Allāh. Whoever fasts a day of my month will earn the right of intercession on the Day of Reckoning. Whoever fasts two days of my month will be forgiven by Allāh of his sins, whatever he brought forward and whatever he kept back. Whoever fasts three days of my month will be told, “Begin anew with your actions.” Whoever fasts in the month of Ramaḍān, keeping his private parts and his speech from sin and refraining from harming others, will be forgiven by Allāh of his sins, whatever he brought forward and whatever he kept back, and Allāh will also free him from the Fire, make his residence in the Abode of Eternity possible, and accept his intercession for as many sinful monotheists as there are grains of sand in the desert of <em>ʿĀlij</em>.” [1]
