وَ رَوَى جَابِرٌ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ إِذَا نَظَرَ إِلَى هِلاَلِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ اِسْتَقْبَلَ اَلْقِبْلَةَ بِوَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ « اَللَّهُمَّ أَهِلَّهُ عَلَيْنَا بِالْأَمْنِ وَ اَلْإِيمَانِ وَ اَلسَّلاَمَةِ وَ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ وَ اَلْعَافِيَةِ اَلْمُجَلِّلَةِ وَ اَلرِّزْقِ اَلْوَاسِعِ وَ دَفْعِ اَلْأَسْقَامِ وَ تِلاَوَةِ اَلْقُرْآنِ وَ اَلْعَوْنِ عَلَى اَلصَّلاَةِ وَ اَلصِّيَامِ اَللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْنَا لِشَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ سَلِّمْهُ لَنَا وَ تَسَلَّمْهُ مِنَّا حَتَّى يَنْقَضِيَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ وَ قَدْ غَفَرْتَ لَنَا » ثُمَّ يُقْبِلُ بِوَجْهِهِ عَلَى اَلنَّاسِ فَيَقُولُ «يَا مَعْشَرَ اَلنَّاسِ إِذَا طَلَعَ هِلاَلُ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ غُلَّتْ مَرَدَةُ اَلشَّيَاطِينِ وَ فُتِحَتْ أَبْوَابُ اَلسَّمَاءِ وَ أَبْوَابُ اَلْجِنَانِ وَ أَبْوَابُ اَلرَّحْمَةِ وَ غُلِّقَتْ أَبْوَابُ اَلنَّارِ وَ اُسْتُجِيبَ اَلدُّعَاءُ وَ كَانَ لِلَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى عِنْدَ كُلِّ فِطْرٍ عُتَقَاءُ يُعْتِقُهُمْ مِنَ اَلنَّارِ وَ يُنَادِي مُنَادٍ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ هَلْ مِنْ تَائِبٍ هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ: اَللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِ كُلَّ مُنْفِقٍ خَلَفاً وَ أَعْطِ كُلَّ مُمْسِكٍ تَلَفاً - حَتَّى إِذَا طَلَعَ هِلاَلُ شَوَّالٍ نُودِيَ اَلْمُؤْمِنُونَ أَنِ اُغْدُوا إِلَى جَوَائِزِكُمْ فَهُوَ يَوْمُ اَلْجَائِزَةِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ «أَمَا وَ اَلَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا هِيَ بِجَائِزَةِ اَلدَّنَانِيرِ وَ اَلدَّرَاهِمِ.
It is narrated by Jabir from Abu Ja‘far (Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (a.s)), who said: "Whenever the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) saw the crescent of the Month of Ramadan, he would face the Qiblah and say: 'O Allah (swt), let this crescent appear over us with security, faith, peace, and submission, along with encompassing wellness, ample sustenance, protection from ailments, recitation of the Qur’an, and assistance in prayer and fasting. O Allah (swt), safeguard us for the Month of Ramadan, safeguard it for us, and accept it from us until the Month of Ramadan concludes, and You have forgiven us.' Then he would turn to the people and say: 'O people, when the crescent of Month of Ramadan rises, the rebellious devils are chained, the gates of the heavens, Paradise, and mercy are opened, and the gates of Hell are closed. Supplications are answered, and Allah (swt), the Blessed and Exalted, frees people from the Fire every night at the time of breaking the fast. A caller announces every night: "Is there anyone who seeks repentance? Is there anyone who asks for something? Is there anyone seeking forgiveness?" O Allah (swt), grant every giver compensation, and bring destruction upon every miser.' When the crescent of Shawwal appears, it is announced to the believers: "Go forth to your rewards, for this is the Day of Reward."' Then Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (a.s) said: 'By the One in whose hand is my soul, the rewards are not in dinars or dirhams.'"
