Arabic text

حدثنا أبي، قال: حدثني سعد بن عبد الله، قال: حدثني أحمد بن الحسين بن [عن] الصقر، عن أبي الطاهر محمد بن حمزة بن اليسع، عن الحسن بن بكّار الصيقل، عن أبي الحسن الرضا (عليه السلام)، قال: بعث الله محمداً لثلاث ليال مضين من رجب فصوم ذلك اليوم كصوم سبعين عاماً. قال سعد بن عبد الله: كان مشايخنا يقولون: إن ذلك غلط من الكاتب وذلك أنه ثلاث ليال بقين من رجب.

Translation

My father narrated to us, saying that Saʿd b. ʿAbd Allāh narrated to him, saying that Aḥmad b. al-Ḥusayn—b. al-Ṣaqar, or he narrated from al-Ṣaqar—from Abī’l-Ṭāhir Muḥammad b. Ḥamza b. al-Yasʿa, from al-Ḥasan b. Bakkār al-Ṣayqal, from Abī’l-Ḥasan al-Riḍā (as): “Allāh raised Muḥammad up (as the Holy Prophet) when three nights had yet passed of the month of Rajab, so whoever fasts on that day will have done so as if he had fasted for seventy years.” Saʿd b. ʿAbd Allāh has noted: “Our elders say: “Indeed, that is an error in the transcription, for the correct wording is “three nights had yet remained of the month of Rajab.”
