قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «إِذَا رَأَيْتَ اَلْهِلاَلَ فَلاَ تَبْرَحْ وَ قُلِ اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذَا اَلشَّهْرِ وَ فَتْحَهُ وَ نُورَهُ وَ نَصْرَهُ وَ بَرَكَتَهُ وَ طَهُورَهُ وَ رِزْقَهُ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ مَا فِيهِ وَ خَيْرَ مَا بَعْدَهُ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِيهِ وَ شَرِّ مَا بَعْدَهُ اَللَّهُمَّ أَدْخِلْهُ عَلَيْنَا بِالْأَمْنِ وَ اَلْإِيمَانِ وَ اَلسَّلاَمَةِ وَ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ وَ اَلْبَرَكَةِ وَ اَلتَّقْوَى وَ اَلتَّوْفِيقِ لِمَا تُحِبُّ وَ تَرْضَى ».
Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s) said: "When you see the crescent, do not leave without saying: 'O Allah (swt), I ask You for the good of this month, its opening, its light, its help, its blessings, its purification, and its sustenance. I ask You for the good of what is in it and the good of what comes after it. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what is in it and the evil of what comes after it. O Allah (swt), bring it upon us with security, faith, peace, submission, blessings, piety, and success in what You love and are pleased with.'"
