Arabic text

وبهذا الإسناد، قال: قال أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام): سمعت أبي قال: كان أبي زين العابدين (عليه السلام) إذا هل شعبان جمع أصحابه، فقال: معاشر أصحاب أتدرون أي شهر هذا؟ هذا شهر شعبان، وكان رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) يقول: شعبان شهري ألا فصوموا فيه محبة لنبيكم، وتقربا إلى ربكم فو الذي نفس علي بن الحسين بيده لسمعت أبى الحسين بن علي يقول: سمعت أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) يقول: من صام شعبان محبة نبي الله (عليه السلام) وتقربا إلى الله عز وجل أحبه الله عز وجل، وقربه من كرامته يوم القيامة وأوجب له الجنة.

Translation

And with the same chain of transmission, it is reported that Abū ʿAbd Allāh, Jaʿfar al-Ṣādiq (as) has said that he heard his father, Abū Jaʿfar, Muḥammad al-Bāqir, saying: “My father, Zayn al-ʿĀbidīn (as), would gather his companions when the month of Shaʿbān came and he would say: “O’ masses of companions, do you know what month this is? This is the month of Shaʿbān, and the Messenger of Allāh (sawa) would say: “Shaʿbān is my month. Doubtlessly, fast therein out of love for your Prophet and as a means of nearness to your Lord.” By He in Whose hand is the soul of ʿAlī b. al-Ḥusayn, I have heard my father, al-Ḥusayn b. ʿAlī, saying: “I have heard Amīr al-Muʾminīn (as) saying: “Whoever fasts in Shaʿbān out of love for the Prophet of Allāh (as) and as a means of nearness to Allāh (azwj), then Allāh (azwj) will love him, bring him near to His generosity on the Day of Judgement, and mandate Paradise for him.”
