Al-Husayn ibn Said from al-Hasan ibn Mahbub al-Zarrad from Abu Ayyub from Abu al-Ward from Abu Ja’far (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: Imam al-Baqir (a.s) said: “The Messenger of Allah (swt), may Allah (swt) bless him and his family, delivered a sermon to the people on the last Friday of Shaban. Prophet (saws) praised Allah (swt) and glorified Him (azj), then said: “O people, indeed there has come upon you a month in which there is a night that is ‘better than a thousand months’. It is the Month of Ramadan. Allah (swt) has made its fasting obligatory and made standing in prayer during one of its nights in voluntary prayer equal to one who has offered prayer on seventy nights outside of it in other months. And whoever performs in it, one act of goodness or righteousness voluntarily, it will be as the reward of one who has fulfilled an obligation among the obligations of Allah (swt), Mighty and Exalted. And whoever fulfills in it, an obligatory act among the obligations of Allah (swt), Mighty and Exalted, it will be as if he has fulfilled seventy obligatory acts in other months. And it is the month of patience (sabr), and indeed the reward of patience is Paradise. And it is the month of compassion, and it is the month in which Allah (swt) increases the sustenance of the believers. And whoever provides iftar to a fasting believer in it, it will be for him with Allah (swt) the reward of freeing a slave and forgiveness for his past sins.” It was said to the Prophet (saws): “O Messenger of Allah (swt), not all of us are able to provide iftar to a fasting person.” So Prophet (saws) said: “Indeed, Allah (swt), the Exalted, is Generous. He (azj) gives this reward even to the one who is only able to offer a sip of milk with which a fasting person breaks his fast, or a drink of fresh water, or a single date if he is unable to give more than that. And whoever lightens the burden on his servant during this month, Allah (swt) will lighten his reckoning for him. And it is a month its beginning is mercy, its middle is forgiveness, and its end is acceptance and freedom from the Fire. And you have no need in this month to do without four qualities; two by which you please Allah (swt), and two which you cannot do without. As for the two by which you please Allah (swt), (it is) the testimony that there is ‘no God but Allah (swt)’, and that ‘I (Prophet Muhammad (saws) am the Messenger of Allah (swt)’. And as for the two which you cannot do without, you ask Allah (swt) for your needs and for Paradise, and you ask Him (azj) for well-being and seek refuge with Him (azj) from the Fire.”
