رَوَى اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ فَضَّالٍ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ قَوْمٍ عِنْدَنَا يُصَلُّونَ وَ لاَ يَصُومُونَ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ وَ رُبَّمَا اِحْتَجْتُ إِلَيْهِمْ يَحْصُدُونَ لِي فَإِذَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِلْحَصَادِ لَمْ يُجِيبُونِي حَتَّى أُطْعِمَهُمْ وَ هُمْ يَجِدُونَ مَنْ يُطْعِمُهُمْ فَيَذْهَبُونَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَ يَدَعُونِي وَ أَنَا أَضِيقُ مِنْ إِطْعَامِهِمْ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِخَطِّهِ «أَعْرِفُهُ أَطْعِمْهُمْ ».
It is narrated by Al-Husayn ibn Sa’id, from Ibn Faddal, who said: "I wrote to Abu Al-Hasan Al-Ridha عليه السلام, asking him about a group of people among us who pray but do not fast during the Month of Ramadan. Sometimes I need their help to harvest my crops, but if I call them for the harvest, they do not respond unless I feed them. They also find others who provide them with food, so they go to them and leave me. I am constrained in my ability to feed them during Month of Ramadan.” Imam عليه السلام wrote back in his handwriting: 'Recognize their situation; feed them.'

In a narration from Muhammad ibn Isma'il ibn Bazi’, from Muhammad ibn Ya’qub, from Shu’ayb, from his father, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, he said: "I said to him: 'People narrate that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) fasted for 29 days in the Month of Ramadan more often than he fasted for 30 days.' Imam عليه السلام replied: 'They have lied. The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) only fasted a complete month. Obligatory acts are never deficient. Verily, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Blessed and Exalted, created the year with 360 days and created the heavens and the earth in six days, thus reducing the days of the year to 354. The Month of Ramadan is 30 days, as Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty, says: "And complete the number" (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:185). Completeness means perfection. Shawwal is 29 days, and Dhu al-Qa'dah is 30 days, as Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty, says: "And We appointed for Musa thirty nights" (Surah Al-A’raf 7:142). The months alternate in this way - one complete month, followed by a deficient one. The Month of Ramadan is never deficient, and Sha’ban is never complete.'"

It is narrated from Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar, who said: "I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about fasting during the Days of Tashreeq.

However, outside of Mina, there is no issue with fasting them.'"

وَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ: عَنِ اَلْوِصَالِ فِي اَلصِّيَامِ وَ كَانَ يُوَاصِلُ فَقِيلَ لَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ «إِنِّي لَسْتُ كَأَحَدِكُمْ إِنِّي أَظَلُّ عِنْدَ رَبِّي فَيُطْعِمُنِي وَ يَسْقِينِي».
The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) prohibited continuous fasting (without breaking the fast at night). However, He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم himself practiced it. When He was asked about this, He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said: "I am not like one of you. I remain in the presence of my Lord عز وجل, and He provides me with food and drink."

Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "The continuous fasting (wisal) that is prohibited is when a person makes his evening meal (iftar) the same as his pre-dawn meal (suhoor)."

It is narrated from Al-Bazanti, from Hisham ibn Salim, from Sa’d Al-Khaffaf, from Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, who said: "We were with him, eight men, and the topic of Month of Ramadan was mentioned. Imam عليه السلام said: 'Do not say, "This is Ramadan," or "Ramadan has passed," or "Ramadan has come," for Ramadan is one of the names of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic. It does not come or go; it is the transient (month) that comes and goes. Instead, say, "The Month of Ramadan," for the month is attributed to the name, and the name is one of the names of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic. It is the month in which the Quran was revealed. Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty, made it an example and a celebration.'"

It is narrated from Ghiyath ibn Ibrahim, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, from his father عليه السلام, from his grandfather عليه السلام, who said that Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام said: "Do not say 'Ramadan'; rather, say 'the Month of Ramadan,' for you do not know what 'Ramadan' is."

It is narrated from Muhammad ibn Al-Fudhayl, from Al-Ridha عليه السلام, who said: "Imam عليه السلام said to one of his companions on the Day of Eid al-Fitr while supplicating for him: 'O so-and-so, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى accept (the deeds) from you and from us.' Then, on the Day of Eid al-Adha, Imam عليه السلام said to him: 'O so-and-so, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى accept (the deeds) from us and from you.' I asked Imam عليه السلام: 'O son of the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, on Eid al-Fitr you said something, and on Eid al-Adha you said something different. Why?' Imam عليه السلام replied: 'Yes, I said to him on Eid al-Fitr, "May Allah سبحانه وتعالى accept (the deeds) from you and from us," because he did the same as I did, and our actions were the same. But on Eid al-Adha, I said to him, "May Allah سبحانه وتعالى accept (the deeds) from us and from you," because we are able to offer a sacrifice, whereas he is not able to do so. Thus, our actions differed.'"

Imam Al-Hasan ibn Ali عليه السلام observed the people on the Day of Eid al-Fitr playing and laughing. Imam عليه السلام turned to his companions and said: "Indeed, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic, created the Month of Ramadan as a racecourse for His creation, where they compete in obedience to Him to attain His pleasure. Some have advanced in it and succeeded, while others have lagged behind and failed. Astonishing, truly astonishing, is the laughter and play of one on a day when the righteous are rewarded, and the negligent face disappointment. By Allah سبحانه وتعالى, if the veil were lifted, the doer of good would be preoccupied with his goodness, and the sinner with his sins."

I asked: "Why is that?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "Because they see their right in the hands of others."

May Allah سبحانه وتعالى not grant you success for Eid al-Adha or Eid al-Fitr.'" In another narration: "for fasting or breaking fast." Then Abu Abdullah عليه السلام said: "By Allah سبحانه وتعالى, they were not granted success, nor will they be, until the avenger of Husayn ibn Ali عليه السلام rises."

    Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَرُوِيَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَامُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: "إِذَا كَانَ أَوَّلُ يَوْمٍ مِنْ شَوَّالٍ نَادَى مُنَادٍ: أَيُّهَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ، اغْدُوا إِلَى جَوَائِزِكُمْ، ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ: يَا جَابِرُ جَوَائِزُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَيْسَتْ كَجَوَائِزِ هَؤُلَاءِ الْمُلُوكِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: هُوَ يَوْمُ الْجَوَائِزِ".
It is narrated from Jabir, from Abu Ja'far عليه السلام, from his father عليه السلام, who said: "When the first day of Shawwal arrives, a caller announces: 'O believers, hasten to your rewards!' Then Abu Ja'far عليه السلام said: 'O Jabir, the rewards of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic, are not like the rewards of these worldly kings.' Then Imam عليه السلام added: 'It is the Day of Rewards.'”
