1842 - وَ كَانَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يُوصِي وُلْدَهُ وَ يَقُولُ «إِذَا دَخَلَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ فَأَجْهِدُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ فَإِنَّ فِيهِ تُقَسَّمُ اَلْأَرْزَاقُ وَ تُكْتَبُ اَلْآجَالُ وَ فِيهِ يُكْتَبُ وَفْدُ اَللَّهِ اَلَّذِينَ يَفِدُونَ إِلَيْهِ وَ فِيهِ لَيْلَةٌ اَلْعَمَلُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ اَلْعَمَلِ فِي أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ.

Hadith.1842 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) used to advise his children, saying: "When the Month of Ramadan begins, strive with all your effort, for in it sustenance is distributed, lifespans are decreed, and the delegation to Allah (swt) - those who journey toward Him, is recorded. In it is a night wherein deeds performed are better than deeds done in a thousand months."

1843 - وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : « «إِنَّ عِدَّةَ اَلشُّهُورِ عِنْدَ اَللّٰهِ اِثْنٰا عَشَرَ شَهْراً فِي كِتٰابِ اَللّٰهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ اَلسَّمٰاوٰاتِ وَ اَلْأَرْضَ» فَغُرَّةُ اَلشُّهُورِ شَهْرُ اَللَّهِ وَ هُوَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ وَ قَلْبُ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ لَيْلَةُ اَلْقَدْرِ وَ نَزَلَ اَلْقُرْآنُ فِي أَوَّلِ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَاسْتَقْبِلِ اَلشَّهْرَ بِالْقُرْآنِ ». قال مصنف هذا الكتاب - رحمه الله -: تكامل نزول القرآن ليلة القدر.

Hadith.1843 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Indeed, the number of months with Allah (swt) is twelve months in the Book of Allah (swt) from the day He created the heavens and the earth. The first and foremost of these months is the month of Allah (swt), which is the Month of Ramadan, and the heart of the Month of Ramadan is the Night of Qadr. The Quran was revealed on the first night of the Month of Ramadan. Therefore, greet the month with the Quran."

1844 - وَ رَوَى سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ اَلْمِنْقَرِيُّ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ اَلنَّخَعِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ لَمْ يَفْرِضِ اَللَّهُ صِيَامَهُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنَ اَلْأُمَمِ قَبْلَنَا» فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَقَوْلُ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ «يٰا أَيُّهَا اَلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ اَلصِّيٰامُ كَمٰا كُتِبَ عَلَى اَلَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ» قَالَ «إِنَّمَا فَرَضَ اَللَّهُ صِيَامَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ عَلَى اَلْأَنْبِيَاءِ دُونَ اَلْأُمَمِ فَفَضَّلَ بِهِ هَذِهِ اَلْأُمَّةَ وَ جَعَلَ صِيَامَهُ فَرْضاً عَلَى رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ».

Hadith.1844 - It is narrated by Sulayman ibn Dawood al-Minqari from Hafs ibn Ghayath al-Nakha‘i, who said: "I heard Abu Abdullah (Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as)) say: 'Indeed, Allah (swt) did not make the fasting of the Month of Ramadan obligatory upon any nation before us.' I said to him: 'Then what about the words of Allah (swt), the Almighty: "O you who believe, fasting has been prescribed upon you as it was prescribed upon those before you"?' Imam (as) said: 'Allah (swt) made the fasting of the Month of Ramadan obligatory only upon the Prophets, not their nations. He favored this nation and made its fasting obligatory upon the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and upon his nation.'"

1845 - 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 ».

Hadith.1845 - Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) 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.'"

1846 - وَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ إِذَا أَهَلَّ هِلاَلَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ اِسْتَقْبَلَ اَلْقِبْلَةَ وَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَ قَالَ « اَللَّهُمَّ أَهِلَّهُ عَلَيْنَا بِالْأَمْنِ وَ اَلْإِيمَانِ وَ اَلسَّلاَمَةِ وَ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ وَ اَلْعَافِيَةِ اَلْمُجَلِّلَةِ وَ اَلرِّزْقِ اَلْوَاسِعِ وَ دَفْعِ اَلْأَسْقَامِ اَللَّهُمَّ اُرْزُقْنَا صِيَامَهُ وَ قِيَامَهُ وَ تِلاَوَةَ اَلْقُرْآنِ فِيهِ وَ سَلِّمْهُ لَنَا وَ تَسَلَّمْهُ مِنَّا وَ سَلِّمْنَا فِيهِ ».

Hadith.1846 - When 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, raise his hands, and say: "O Allah (swt), let this crescent appear over us with security, faith, peace, submission, encompassing wellness, abundant sustenance, and protection from ailments. O Allah (swt), grant us the ability to fast during it, stand in prayer during it, and recite the Qur’an in it. Make it safe for us, accept it from us, and preserve us within it."

1847 - وَ كَانَ مِنْ قَوْلِ أَمِيرِ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عِنْدَ رُؤْيَةِ اَلْهِلاَلِ «أَيُّهَا اَلْخَلْقُ اَلْمُطِيعُ اَلدَّائِبُ اَلسَّرِيعُ اَلْمُتَرَدِّدُ فِي فَلَكِ اَلتَّدْبِيرِ اَلْمُتَصَرِّفُ فِي مَنَازِلِ اَلتَّقْدِيرِ آمَنْتُ بِمَنْ نَوَّرَ بِكَ اَلظُّلَمَ وَ أَضَاءَ بِكَ اَلْبُهَمَ وَ جَعَلَكَ آيَةً مِنْ آيَاتِ سُلْطَانِهِ وَ اِمْتَهَنَكَ بِالزِّيَادَةِ وَ اَلنُّقْصَانِ وَ اَلطُّلُوعِ وَ اَلْأُفُولِ وَ اَلْإِنَارَةِ وَ اَلْكُسُوفِ فِي كُلِّ ذَلِكَ أَنْتَ لَهُ مُطِيعٌ وَ إِلَى إِرَادَتِهِ سَرِيعٌ سُبْحَانَهُ مَا أَحْسَنَ مَا دَبَّرَ وَ أَتْقَنَ مَا صَنَعَ فِي مُلْكِهِ وَ جَعَلَكَ اَللَّهُ هِلاَلَ شَهْرٍ حَادِثٍ لِأَمْرٍ حَادِثٍ جَعَلَكَ اَللَّهُ هِلاَلَ أَمْنٍ وَ إِيمَانٍ وَ سَلاَمَةٍ وَ إِسْلاَمٍ هِلاَلَ أَمَنَةٍ مِنَ اَلْعَاهَاتِ وَ سَلاَمَةٍ مِنَ اَلسَّيِّئَاتِ: اَللَّهُمَّ اِجْعَلْنَا أَهْدَى مَنْ طَلَعَ عَلَيْهِ وَ أَزْكَى مَنْ نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ وَ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ اَلنَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ اَللَّهُمَّ اِفْعَلْ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا يَا أَرْحَمَ اَلرَّاحِمِينَ ».

Hadith.1847 - Among the sayings of Amir al-Mu'minin (as) upon sighting the crescent was: "O obedient creation, tireless, swift, revolving in the orbit of decreed management, moving through the stages of measured determination. I believe in the One who brightened the darkness with you, illuminated obscurities through you, and made you a sign among the signs of His sovereignty. He subjected you to increase and decrease, rising and setting, illumination and eclipse. In all of this, you remain obedient to Him and quick to fulfill His will. Glory be to Him! How excellent is His management, and how perfect is His craftsmanship in His dominion. May Allah (swt) make you the crescent of a new month for a new matter, a crescent of security, faith, peace, and submission, a crescent free from calamities and safe from sins. O Allah (swt), make us the most rightly guided of those upon whom it rises and the purest of those who gaze upon it. Blessings of Allah (swt) be upon Muhammad, the Prophet, and his family. O Allah (swt), do for me [such-and-such] O Most Merciful of the merciful!"

Hadith.1848 - It is narrated from the righteous servant (of Allah (swt)), Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as) who said: "Recite this supplication in Month of Ramadan at the beginning of the year." He mentioned, "Whoever recites it sincerely and with intention will not face any tribulation or calamity in their religion, worldly affairs, or body during that year, and Allah (swt) will protect them from the harm of that year." The supplication is as follows: "O Allah (swt), I ask You by Your Name to which all things yield, by Your mercy that encompasses all things, by Your might through which You overpower all things, by Your greatness to which all things humble themselves, by Your strength to which all things submit, by Your dominion that surpasses all things, and by Your knowledge that encompasses all things. O Light, O Holy One, O the One who existed before all things and remains after all things, O Allah (swt), O Merciful, send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad. Forgive me the sins that change blessings, forgive me the sins that bring down vengeance, forgive me the sins that cut off hope, forgive me the sins that bring adversaries near, forgive me the sins that repel supplication, forgive me the sins that bring down tribulations, forgive me the sins that withhold the rains of the skies, forgive me the sins that tear apart protections. Envelop me in Your impenetrable armor, which cannot be pierced. Protect me from the harm of what I fear during the night and the day throughout the coming year. O Allah (swt), Lord (azj) of the seven heavens and the seven earths and what is within and between them, Lord (azj) of the Great Throne, Lord (azj) of the Seven Oft-Repeated Verses and the Magnificent Quran, Lord (azj) of Israfil, Mika'il, and Archangel Jibril, and Lord (azj) of Muhammad, the master of the messengers and the seal of the Prophets, I ask You by Your Name and by what You have named Yourself, O Magnificent. You are the One who bestows great blessings, averts all feared calamities, grants abundant rewards, multiplies abundant good deeds from little, and does whatever You will. O All-Powerful, O Allah (swt), O Merciful, send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad." O All-Powerful, O Allah (swt), O Most Merciful, send Your blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad. In the upcoming year, clothe me with Your protection, illuminate my face with Your light, enliven me with Your love, and grant me Your satisfaction, the honor of Your noble gifts, and the greatness of Your bounties from the best of what You have and from the best of what You bestow upon anyone of Your creation. Along with this, clothe me in Your protection, O the One who hears every complaint, witnesses every whispered prayer, and knows every secret. O the One who wards off every affliction as You will, O Generous in forgiveness, O the One who perfects pardon. Grant me death upon the creed of Ibrahim and his natural disposition, upon the religion of Muhammad and his Sunnah, and upon the best of fates. Cause me to die as a supporter of Your friends and an enemy of Your adversaries. O Allah (swt), protect me this year from every action, speech, or deed that distances me from You, and bring me closer to every action, speech, or deed that brings me closer to You in this year, O Most Merciful of the merciful. Prevent me from every action, speech, or deed of mine that I fear will lead to an evil consequence or earn Your wrath upon me. I seek to avoid anything that causes You to turn away Your noble face from me or that diminishes my portion with You. O Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. O Allah (swt), in the coming year, place me in Your protection, under Your care, and in Your shelter. Envelop me in the shield of Your wellbeing and bestow upon me Your honor. Exalted is Your might, and glorified is Your praise. There is no deity other than You. O Allah (swt), make me among those who follow the righteous who have passed away among Your friends and join me with them. Make me submissive to those who truly proclaim the truth about You among them. I seek refuge in You, my God, from my sins enveloping me, from my injustices, my excesses upon myself, and my indulgence in desires and preoccupation with worldly passions. I fear these might separate me from Your mercy and pleasure. Let me not become forgotten by You or exposed to Your wrath and punishment. O Allah (swt), guide me to every righteous deed that pleases You and brings me closer to You. Grant me proximity to You. Protect me from harm in this year, and save me from all afflictions, difficulties, and adversities. Complete Your blessings upon me, and let me end this year in a state of Your pleasure and mercy. O Most Merciful of the merciful. O my God, I seek Your refuge from my sins enveloping me, from my injustices, my excessiveness against myself, my following of my desires, and my preoccupation with my worldly passions, lest these become a barrier between me and Your mercy and pleasure. I fear becoming forgotten in Your sight and subjected to Your wrath and punishment. O Allah (swt), guide me to every righteous action that earns Your pleasure and draws me closer to You. O Allah (swt), as You protected Your Prophet Muhammad—Your blessings be upon him and his family—from the horrors of his enemies, alleviated his worries, removed his distress, fulfilled Your promise to him, and honored Your covenant with him, I beseech You to protect me in the same way from the hardships, afflictions, illnesses, trials, evils, sorrows, and financial difficulties of this year. Grant me, by Your mercy, complete wellbeing through the continuity of Your blessings until the end of my life. I ask You as one who has erred, wronged, submitted, and confessed, to forgive my past sins, which were witnessed by Your guardians, recorded by Your noble angels, and counted against me. I beseech You, O Allah (swt), to shield me from sins for the remainder of my life until my appointed end. O Allah (swt), Most Compassionate, Most Merciful, send Your blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad. Grant me everything I have asked and hoped for from You, for You have commanded me to call upon You and have promised to respond. O Most Merciful of the merciful.”

Hadith.1849 - Imam Zain al-Abidin Ali ibn al-Hussein (as) used to recite this supplication in the Month of Ramadan: "O Allah (swt), this is the Month of Ramadan, in which You revealed the Quran. This is the month of fasting, the month of turning back to You, the month of repentance, the month of forgiveness and mercy, the month of deliverance from the fire, and the month of attaining paradise. O Allah (swt), safeguard it for me and accept it from me. Aid me in it with Your best assistance, grant me success in obeying You, and free me for worshiping You, supplicating to You, and reciting Your Book. Magnify its blessings for me, perfect well-being for me in it, strengthen my body in it, expand my sustenance in it, suffice me in it from what worries me, answer my supplication in it, and fulfill my hopes in it. O Allah (swt), remove from me in it drowsiness, laziness, weariness, weakness, hardness of the heart, heedlessness, and deception. O Allah (swt), keep me away in it from illnesses, ailments, worries, sorrows, troubles, diseases, errors, and sins. Divert from me in it evil, indecency, hardship, affliction, exhaustion, and toil. Indeed, You are the Hearer of supplications." "O Allah (swt), protect me in it from the accursed Shaytan, from his insinuations, mockery, whispers, delusions, arrogance, schemes, trickery, false promises, deception, and trials, as well as his cavalry, infantry, allies, parties, helpers, followers, companions, supporters, and all their devious plans. O Allah (swt), grant me in it the completion of its fasts, the attainment of hopes in its night prayers, and the perfection of what pleases You from me with patience, faith, certainty, and sincere expectation of reward. Then accept it from me with multiplied rewards and great recompense. O Allah (swt), grant me in it diligence, striving, strength, energy, repentance, turning to You, longing for You, fear of You, weeping out of Your awe, humility, tenderness, truthful speech, trembling before You, hope in You, reliance upon You, trust in You, and piety in refraining from what You have prohibited, along with righteous words and acceptable deeds." "[And the completion of what pleases You from me in it, with patience, certainty, faith, and the expectation of reward. Then accept that from me with multiplied rewards and great recompense. O Allah (swt), grant me in it diligence, striving, strength, energy, repentance, turning to You, longing for You, fear of You, weeping out of awe for You, humility, tenderness, truthful speech, trembling before You, hope in You, reliance upon You, trust in You, and piety in refraining from what You have prohibited, along with righteous words and acceptable deeds. And the completion of what pleases You from me in it, with patience, certainty, faith, and the expectation of reward. Then accept that from me with multiplied rewards and great recompense. O Allah (swt), grant me in it diligence, striving, strength, energy, repentance, turning to You, longing for You, fear of You, weeping out of awe for You, humility, and tenderness.] And the elevation of deeds and the acceptance of supplications, and do not let anything come between me and these—neither affliction, nor illness, nor worry. By Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful!"

1850 - كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ إِذَا أَفْطَرَ قَالَ -: « اَللَّهُمَّ لَكَ صُمْنَا وَ عَلَى رِزْقِكَ أَفْطَرْنَا فَتَقَبَّلْهُ مِنَّا ذَهَبَ اَلظَّمَأُ وَ اِبْتَلَّتِ اَلْعُرُوقُ وَ بَقِيَ اَلْأَجْرُ ».

Hadith.1850 - The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family), when breaking his fast, would say: "O Allah (swt), for You we fasted, and upon Your sustenance we have broken our fast. So accept it from us. The thirst has gone, the veins are quenched, and the reward remains."

1851 - وَ رَوَى أَبُو بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «تَقُولُ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ عِنْدَ اَلْإِفْطَارِ إِلَى آخِرِهِ: اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ اَلَّذِي أَعَانَنَا فَصُمْنَا وَ رَزَقَنَا فَأَفْطَرْنَا اَللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا وَ أَعِنَّا عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلِّمْنَا فِيهِ وَ تَسَلَّمْهُ مِنَّا فِي يُسْرٍ مِنْكَ وَ عَافِيَةٍ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ اَلَّذِي قَضَى عَنَّا يَوْماً مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ ».

Hadith.1851 - Abu Basir narrated from Abu Abdullah (as) who said: "You should say every night of the Month of Ramadan at the time of breaking the fast until its end: 'All praise belongs to Allah (swt), who helped us so we fasted, and provided for us so we broke our fast. O Allah (swt), accept it from us, assist us in it, and keep us safe in it. Accept it from us with ease and well-being from You. All praise belongs to Allah (swt), who completed for us a day of the Month of Ramadan.'"
