Hadith 28-45

وَبِهذَا الإسناد، عَن أَبي الحَسَن الرِّضا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ، عَن أَبيهِ عَنْ آبائِهِ، عَن عَلِيِ‏ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ قالَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ‏ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ إِنَّ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ شَهْرٌ عَظِيمٌ يُضَاعِفُ اللَّهُ فِيهِ الْحَسَنَاتِ وَيَمْحُو فِيهِ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَيَرْفَعُ فِيهِ الدَّرَجَاتِ مَنْ تَصَدَّقَ فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ بِصَدَقَةٍ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ وَمَنْ أَحْسَنَ فِيهِ إِلَى مَا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُهُ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ وَمَنْ حَسُنَ فِيهِ خُلُقُهُ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ وَمَنْ كَظَمَ فِيهِ غَيْظَهُ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ وَمَنْ وَصَلَ فِيهِ رَحِمَهُ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ‏ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ إِنَّ شَهْرَكُمْ هَذَا لَيْسَ كَالشُّهُورِ إِنَّهُ إِذَا أَقْبَلَ إِلَيْكُمْ أَقْبَلَ بِالْبَرَكَةِ وَالرَّحْمَةِ وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَ عَنْكُمْ أَدْبَرَ بِغُفْرَانِ الذُّنُوبِ هَذَا شَهْرٌ الْحَسَنَاتُ فِيهِ مُضَاعَفَةٌ وَأَعْمَالُ الْخَيْرِ فِيهِ مَقْبُولَةٌ مَنْ صَلَّى مِنْكُمْ فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ يَتَطَوَّعُ بِهِمَا غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ‏ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ إِنَّ الشَّقِيَّ حَقَّ الشَّقِيِّ مَنْ خَرَجَ عَنْهُ هَذَا الشَّهْرُ وَلَمْ يُغْفَرْ ذُنُوبُهُ فَحِينَئِذٍ يَخْسَرُ حِينَ يَفُوزُ الُْمحْسِنُونَ بِجَوَائِزِ الرَّبِّ الْكَرِيمِ.

According to the same documentation, it is narrated on the authority of Abil Hassan Al-Ridha’ (a.s.), on the authority of his father (a.s.), on the authority of his forefathers (a.s.), on the authority of Ali (a.s.) that God’s Prophet (S) said, “In fact, the (Arabic) month of Ramadan is a great month. During that month, God will multiply one’s good deeds many times. He will eliminate the wicked deeds and raise the ranks during that month. God will forgive whoever gives charity during that month. God will forgive whoever treats his slaves with kindness during that month. God will forgive whoever is good-tempered during that month. God will forgive whoever quenches his wrath during that month. God will forgive whoever visits his relatives during that month.” The Prophet (S) then added, “This month is not like other months. It will bring you blessings and mercy whenever it comes, and it will go away with forgiveness of the sins when it ends. This is the month in which good deeds are multiplied by many times and in which good acts are accepted. The Honorable the Exalted God will forgive whoever says two units of prayers during that month.” The Prophet (S) then added, “One is really miserable if this month is finished and his sins are not forgiven, and is at a loss when the good-doers receive their rewards from the Benevolent Lord.”
