٢ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الأَوَّلِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ بَعَثَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مُحَمَّداً (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) رَحْمَةً لِلْعَالَمِينَ فِي سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِنْ رَجَبٍ فَمَنْ صَامَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ كَتَبَ الله لَهُ صِيَامَ سِتِّينَ شَهْراً وَفِي خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِنْ ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ وُضِعَ الْبَيْتُ وَهُوَ أَوَّلُ رَحْمَةٍ وُضِعَتْ عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ فَجَعَلَهُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مَثَابَةً لِلنَّاسِ وَأَمْناً فَمَنْ صَامَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ كَتَبَ الله لَهُ صِيَامَ سِتِّينَ شَهْراً وَفِي أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ وُلِدَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ خَلِيلُ الرَّحْمَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فَمَنْ صَامَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ كَتَبَ الله لَهُ صِيَامَ سِتِّينَ شَهْراً.
2. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from certain individuals of our people who have said the following: “Abu al-Hassan, the 1st , has said ‘Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, sent Muhammad, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, as a mercy for the worlds on the twenty-seventh of the month of Rajab. Allah counts one’s fasting during this day as fasting for sixty months. On the twenty- fifth of Dhul al-Qa’dah, the House was established, and it was the first instance of mercy established on earth. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, made a place to gain rewards and a place of inviolability. Allah counts one’s fasting during this day as fasting for sixty months. On the first day of Dhul Hajjah, Ibrahim, the friend of the Beneficent was born. Allah counts one’s fasting during this day as fasting for sixty months.”
