حدثنا محمد بن إبراهيم بن إسحاق [رض]، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد الكوفي، قال: حدثنا علي بن الحسن بن علي بن فضّال، عن أبيه، عن أبي الحسن علي بن موسى الرضا، عن آبائه (عليه وعليهم السلام)، قال: قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): إن شهر رمضان شهر عظيم يضاعف الله فيه الحسنات، ويمحو فيه السيئات ويرفع فيه الدرجات، من تصدق في هذا الشهر بصدقة غفر الله له، ومن أحسن فيه إلى ما ملكت يمينه غفر الله له. ثم قال (عليه السلام): إن شهركم هذا ليس كالشهور إذا اقبل إليكم اقبل بالبركة والرحمة، وإذا أدبر عنكم أدبر بغفران الذنوب، هذا شهر الحسنات فيه مضاعفة، وأعمال الخير فيه مقبولة ومن صلى منكم في هذا الشهر لله عز وجل ركعتين يتطوع بهما غفر الله له. ثم قال (عليه السلام): إن الشقي حق الشقي من خرج عنه هذا الشهر ولم يغفر ذنوبه فحينئذ يخسر حين يفوز المحسنون بجوائز الرب الكريم.
Muḥammad b. Ibrāhīm b. Isḥāq—may Allāh be pleased with him—narrated to us, saying that Aḥmad b. Muḥammad al-Kūfī narrated to him among others, saying that ʿAlī b. al-Ḥasan b. ʿAlī b. Faḍḍāl narrated to him among others, from his father, from Abī’l-Ḥasan ʿAlī b. Mūsā al-Riḍā, from his forefathers (as-p), who said: “The Messenger of Allāh (sawa) has stated: “Indeed, the month of Ramaḍān is an exalted month in which Allāh doubles (the reward of) goodness, erases iniquities, and raises (people’s) degrees (of spiritual proximity, nobility, etc.). In this month, whoever gives charity will be forgiven by Allāh, as will whoever does good to that which his right hand possesses.” Imam al-Riḍā (as) then said: “Verily, this month of yours is unlike any other. When it arrives, it comes with blessing and mercy, and when it departs, it leaves with the forgiveness of sins. This is the month in which (the rewards of) good deeds are multiplied, and acts of goodness are accepted. Whoever among you voluntarily performs two units of prayer in this month for Allāh (azwj) has thereby earned Allāh’s forgiveness.” The Imam (as) concluded: “The wretched is truly wretched. Whoever emerges from this month without having his sins forgiven has utterly lost, while the doers of good have succeeded with the rewards of the Noble Lord.”
