حدثنا أبي - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا محمد بن يحيى العطار، عن محمد بن أحمد بن يحيى بن عمران الأشعري، عن حمدان بن سليمان، عن أيوب بن نوح، عن إسماعيل الفراء، عن رجل، قال: قلت لأبي عبد الله عليه السلام: أليس قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله في أبي ذر - رحمة الله عليه -: " ما أظلت الخضراء ولا أقلت الغبراء على ذي لهجة أصدق من أبي ذر "؟ قال: بلى. قال: قلت: فأين رسول الله وأمير المؤمنين؟ وأين الحسن والحسين؟ قال: فقال لي: كم السنة شهرا؟ قال: قلت: اثنا عشر شهرا، قال: كم منهما حرم؟ قال: قلت: أربعة أشهر. قال: فشهر رمضان منها؟ قال: قلت: لا، قال: إن في شهر رمضان ليلة أفضل من ألف شهر، إنا أهل بيت لا يقاس بنا أحد.
2.	We were told by my father, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Yahya al-‘Attar, from Muhammed bin Ahmad bin Yahya bin Imran al-Ash’ari, from Hamdan bin Sulayman, from Ayoub bin Nuh, from Isma’eel al-Farra’, from a man, that he said: I said to Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him: Did not the Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, say with regards to Abu Dharr, upon whom is the mercy of Allah: « The sky has not shadowed upon, nor has the earth carried, anyone with a tongue more truthful than Abu Dharr»? He said: Sure. He said: I said: Then where are the Messenger of Allah and the Commander of the Believers? And where are Hasan and Hussain? He said: Then he said to me: How many months are there in a year? He said: I said: Twelve months. He said: How many of them are sacred? He said: I said: Four months. He said: Is the month of Ramadan among them? He said: I said: No. He said: Indeed, in the month of Ramadan is a night that is better than a thousand months. Indeed, we are a Household with whom none is measured.
