1822 - وَ قَالَ أَبُو اَلْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ : « رَجَبٌ شَهْرٌ عَظِيمٌ يُضَاعِفُ اَللَّهُ فِيهِ اَلْحَسَنَاتِ وَ يَمْحُو فِيهِ اَلسَّيِّئَاتِ مَنْ صَامَ يَوْماً مِنْ رَجَبٍ تَبَاعَدَتْ عَنْهُ اَلنَّارُ مَسِيرَةَ سَنَةٍ وَ مَنْ صَامَ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ اَلْجَنَّةُ ».

Hadith.1822 - Abu al-Hasan Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as) said: "Rajab is a great month. In it, Allah (swt) multiplies good deeds and erases sins. Whoever fasts a day in Rajab, the Fire will be distanced from him by a journey of one year, and whoever fasts three days, Paradise becomes obligatory for him."

1823 - رَوَى أَبُو حَمْزَةَ اَلثُّمَالِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «مَنْ صَامَ شَعْبَانَ كَانَ لَهُ طَهُوراً مِنْ كُلِّ زَلَّةٍ وَ وَصْمَةٍ وَ بَادِرَةٍ» وَ قَالَ أَبُو حَمْزَةَ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَا اَلْوَصْمَةُ قَالَ «اَلْيَمِينُ فِي اَلْمَعْصِيَةِ وَ اَلنَّذْرُ وَ لاَ نَذْرَ فِي اَلْمَعْصِيَةِ» قُلْتُ فَمَا اَلْبَادِرَةُ قَالَ «اَلْيَمِينُ عِنْدَ اَلْغَضَبِ وَ اَلتَّوْبَةُ مِنْهَا اَلنَّدَمُ عَلَيْهَا ».

Hadith.1823 - Abu Hamzah al-Thumali narrated from Abu Ja‘far (Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as)), who said: "Whoever fasts during Sha‘ban, it will purify him from every slip, stain, and impulsive act." Abu Hamzah said: "I asked Abu Ja‘far (as): 'What is the stain (al-wasmah)?' Imam (as) said: 'An oath made for disobedience or a vow, for there is no vow in disobedience.' I asked: 'What is the impulsive act (al-badirah)?' Imam (as) said: 'An oath made in anger, and its repentance is to feel regret for it.'"

1824 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ مَرْحُومٍ اَلْأَزْدِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: «مَنْ صَامَ أَوَّلَ يَوْمٍ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ اَلْجَنَّةُ اَلْبَتَّةَ وَ مَنْ صَامَ يَوْمَيْنِ نَظَرَ اَللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ لَيْلَةٍ فِي دَارِ اَلدُّنْيَا وَ دَاوَمَ نَظَرَهُ إِلَيْهِ فِي اَلْجَنَّةِ ، وَ مَنْ صَامَ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ زَارَهُ اَللَّهُ فِي عَرْشِهِ مِنْ جَنَّتِهِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ.

Hadith.1824 - It is narrated by al-Hasan ibn Mahbub from Abdullah ibn Marhoom al-Azdi, who said: "I heard Abu Abdullah (Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as)) say: 'Whoever fasts the first day of Sha‘ban, Paradise becomes absolutely obligatory for him. Whoever fasts two days, Allah (swt) looks at him every day and night in this world and continues His gaze upon him in Paradise. And whoever fasts three days, Allah (swt) visits him on His Throne in His Paradise every day.'"

1825 - وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : «صَوْمُ شَهْرِ شَعْبَانَ وَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ تَوْبَةٌ وَ اَللَّهِ مِنَ اَللَّهِ ».

Hadith.1825 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Fasting the Month of Sha‘ban and Month of Ramadan consecutively is repentance, by Allah (swt), from Allah (swt)."

1826 - وَ رَوَى عَمْرُو بْنُ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ وَ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ يَصِلُهُمَا وَ يَنْهَى اَلنَّاسَ أَنْ يَصِلُوهُمَا وَ كَانَ يَقُولُ «هُمَا شَهْرُ اَللَّهِ وَ هُمَا كَفَّارَةٌ لِمَا قَبْلَهُمَا وَ مَا بَعْدَهُمَا مِنَ اَلذُّنُوبِ» ».

Hadith.1826 - Amr ibn Khalid narrates from Abu Ja‘far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), who said: "The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) would fast Sha‘ban and the Month of Ramadan together without separating them, but he would forbid people from joining them together. He used to say: ‘They are the months of Allah (swt), and they are an expiation for the sins committed before and after them.’”

1827 - مَا رَوَاهُ زُرْعَةُ عَنِ اَلْمُفَضَّلِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «كَانَ أَبِي عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَفْصِلُ مَا بَيْنَ شَعْبَانَ وَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ بِيَوْمٍ وَ كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ يَصِلُ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَ يَقُولُ «صَوْمُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ تَوْبَةٌ مِنَ اَللَّهِ» ».

Hadith.1827 - It is narrated by Zur‘ah from al-Mufaddal, from Abu Abdullah (Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as)), who said: "My father (Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as)) would separate between Sha‘ban and Month of Ramadan by a day, while Ali ibn al-Husayn (as) would join them and say: ‘Fasting two consecutive months is repentance from Allah (swt).’”

1828 - وَ كُنَّ نِسَاءُ اَلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ إِذَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِنَّ صِيَامٌ أَخَّرْنَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى شَعْبَانَ كَرَاهِيَةَ أَنْ يَمْنَعْنَ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ حَاجَتَهُ وَ إِذَا كَانَ شَعْبَانُ صُمْنَ وَ صَامَ مَعَهُنَّ وَ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ « شَعْبَانُ شَهْرِي».

Hadith.1828 - It is narrated that the wives of the Prophet (sw) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), if they had missed obligatory fasts, would delay making them up until Sha‘ban, disliking to prevent the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) from fulfilling his needs. When Sha‘ban arrived, they would fast, and he would fast with them. He (sw) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) used to say: "Sha‘ban is my month."

1829 - وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : «مَنْ صَامَ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ آخِرِ شَعْبَانَ وَ وَصَلَهَا بِشَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ كَتَبَ اَللَّهُ لَهُ صَوْمَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ».

Hadith.1829 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Whoever that fasts three days at the end of Sha‘ban and joins them with the Month of Ramadan, Allah (swt) will record it for him as fasting two consecutive months."

1830 - وَ رَوَى حَرِيزٌ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَا تَقُولُ فِي لَيْلَةِ اَلنِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ قَالَ «يَغْفِرُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيهَا مِنْ خَلْقِهِ لِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ عَدَدِ شَعْرِ مِعْزَى كَلْبٍ وَ يُنْزِلُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَلاَئِكَتَهُ إِلَى اَلسَّمَاءِ اَلدُّنْيَا وَ إِلَى اَلْأَرْضِ بِمَكَّةَ ». وقد أخرجت ما رويته في هذا المعنى في كتاب فضائل شعبان.

Hadith.1830 - It is narrated by Hariz from Zurara, who said: "I said to Abu Ja‘far (Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as)): 'What do you say about the night of the middle of Sha‘ban?' Imam (as) said: 'On that night, Allah (swt), the Almighty, forgives more of His creation than the number of the hairs on the goats of the tribe of Kalb. On that night, Allah (swt), the Almighty, sends down His angels to the lowest heaven and to the earth in Mecca.'"

1831 - رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْوَرْدِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ اَلنَّاسَ فِي آخِرِ جُمُعَةٍ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ فَحَمِدَ اَللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَيُّهَا اَلنَّاسُ إِنَّهُ قَدْ أَظَلَّكُمْ شَهْرٌ فِيهِ لَيْلَةٌ «خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ» وَ هُوَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ فَرَضَ اَللَّهُ صِيَامَهُ وَ جَعَلَ قِيَامَ لَيْلَةٍ فِيهِ كَمَنْ تَطَوَّعَ بِصَلاَةٍ سَبْعِينَ لَيْلَةً فِيمَا سِوَاهُ مِنَ اَلشُّهُورِ وَ جَعَلَ لِمَنْ تَطَوَّعَ فِيهِ بِخَصْلَةٍ مِنْ خِصَالِ اَلْخَيْرِ وَ اَلْبِرِّ كَأَجْرِ مَنْ أَدَّى فَرِيضَةً مِنْ فَرَائِضِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ مَنْ أَدَّى فَرِيضَةً مِنْ فَرَائِضِ اَللَّهِ كَانَ كَمَنْ أَدَّى سَبْعِينَ فَرِيضَةً فِيمَا سِوَاهُ مِنَ اَلشُّهُورِ وَ هُوَ شَهْرُ اَلصَّبْرِ وَ إِنَّ اَلصَّبْرَ ثَوَابُهُ اَلْجَنَّةُ وَ هُوَ شَهْرُ اَلْمُوَاسَاةِ وَ هُوَ شَهْرٌ يَزِيدُ اَللَّهُ فِيهِ رِزْقَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِ وَ مَنْ فَطَّرَ فِيهِ مُؤْمِناً صَائِماً كَانَ لَهُ بِذَلِكَ عِنْدَ اَللَّهِ عِتْقُ رَقَبَةٍ وَ مَغْفِرَةٌ لِذُنُوبِهِ فِيمَا مَضَى » فَقِيلَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ لَيْسَ كُلُّنَا نَقْدِرُ عَلَى أَنْ نُفَطِّرَ صَائِماً فَقَالَ «إِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى كَرِيمٌ يُعْطِي هَذَا اَلثَّوَابَ مِنْكُمْ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ إِلاَّ عَلَى مَذْقَةٍ مِنْ لَبَنٍ يُفَطِّرُ بِهَا صَائِماً أَوْ شَرْبَةٍ مِنْ مَاءِ عَذْبٍ أَوْ تُمَيْرَاتٍ لاَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ مَنْ خَفَّفَ فِيهِ عَنْ مَمْلُوكِهِ خَفَّفَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْهِ حِسَابَهُ وَ هُوَ شَهْرٌ أَوَّلُهُ رَحْمَةٌ وَ وَسَطُهُ مَغْفِرَةٌ وَ آخِرُهُ إِجَابَةٌ وَ اَلْعِتْقُ مِنَ اَلنَّارِ وَ لاَ غِنَى بِكُمْ فِيهِ عَنْ أَرْبَعِ خِصَالٍ خَصْلَتَيْنِ تُرْضُونَ اَللَّهَ بِهِمَا وَ خَصْلَتَيْنِ لاَ غِنَى بِكُمْ عَنْهُمَا فَأَمَّا اَللَّتَانِ تُرْضُونَ اَللَّهَ بِهِمَا فَشَهَادَةُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ وَ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ وَ أَمَّا اَللَّتَانِ لاَ غِنَى بِكُمْ عَنْهُمَا فَتَسْأَلُونَ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيهِ حَوَائِجَكُمْ وَ اَلْجَنَّةَ وَ تَسْأَلُونَ اَللَّهَ فِيهِ اَلْعَافِيَةَ وَ تَتَعَوَّذُونَ بِهِ مِنَ اَلنَّارِ ».

Hadith.1831 - It is narrated by al-Hasan ibn Mahbub from Abu Ayyub, from Abu al-Ward, from Abu Ja‘far (Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as)), who said: "The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) addressed the people on the last Friday of Sha‘ban. He praised Allah (swt) and glorified Him, then said: 'O people, indeed, a month is approaching you in which there is a night "better than a thousand months." It is the Month of Ramadan. Allah (swt) has made its fasting obligatory and standing in prayer on its nights equivalent to performing seventy voluntary prayers in other months. Whoever performs one act of goodness and charity in it will receive the reward of performing an obligatory act, and whoever performs an obligatory act will be rewarded as if he performed seventy obligatory acts in other months. It is the month of patience, and the reward for patience is Paradise. It is the month of solidarity and a month in which Allah (swt) increases the provision of the believer. Whoever provides food for a fasting believer to break their fast will have, with Allah (swt), the reward of freeing a slave and forgiveness for their past sins.' Someone asked: 'O Messenger of Allah (swt), not all of us can afford to provide food for a fasting person.' He (sw) said: 'Indeed, Allah (swt), the Blessed and Exalted, is generous and will grant this reward to one who provides even a sip of milk, a drink of fresh water, or a few dates to a fasting person. Whoever lightens the burden of their servant during this month, Allah (swt) will ease their reckoning. This is a month whose beginning is mercy, its middle is forgiveness, and its end is deliverance and freedom from the Fire. You are in need of four qualities during this month: two by which you please Allah (swt) and two without which you cannot do without. As for the two that please Him, Allah (swt), they are the testimony that there is no god but Allah (swt) and that I am the Messenger of Allah (swt). As for the two you cannot do without, they are asking Allah (swt) for your needs and for Paradise, and seeking Allah’s (swt) protection from the Fire.'"
