٥ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) مَا تَقُولُ فِي الرَّجُلِ يَصُومُ شَعْبَانَ وَشَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ هُمَا الشَّهْرَانِ اللَّذَانِ قَالَ الله تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتابِعَيْنِ تَوْبَةً مِنَ الله قُلْتُ فَلا يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَهُمَا قَالَ إِذَا أَفْطَرَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَهُوَ فَصْلٌ وَإِنَّمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) لا وِصَالَ فِي صِيَامٍ يَعْنِي لا يَصُومُ الرَّجُلُ يَوْمَيْنِ مُتَوَالِيَيْنِ مِنْ غَيْرِ إِفْطَارٍ وَقَدْ يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْعَبْدِ أَنْ لا يَدَعَ السَّحُورَ.
5. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from certain individuals of his people from Muhammad ibn Sulayman from his father who has said the following: “Once I asked abu ‘Abd Allah , ‘What do you say about a man who fasts during the month of Sha‘ban and the month of Ramadan?’ He replied, ‘They are the months about which Allah, the most Blessed, the most High, has said, “Two months one after the other in which (certain) people return to Allah.’” I then asked, ‘Is it necessary to fast without a break?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If he breaks his fast after sunset, it is a break. The Messenger of Allah has said, “There is no connecting in fasting means one must not fast for two days without breaking his fast after sunset. Sometimes it is desirable for a man to eat food before dawn.’””
