2. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Ahmad b. Idris who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ahmad who said it was narrated to us by Musa b. ’Umayr from Ali b. al-Hakam from Ahmad b. Zayd from Musa b. Ja’far  who said: “One who fasts on the first day of Zilhajj Almighty Allah would note down the reward of the fasts of eighty months for him. If he observes fast for nine days Allah would note the reward of fasts of an age for him.”
