Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 4|Book 2|Chapter 6
عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:» لَيْسَ اَلصِّيَامُ مِنَ اَلطَّعَامِ وَ اَلشَّرَابِ وَ اَلْإِنْسَانُ يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَحْفَظَ لِسَانَهُ مِنَ اَللَّغْوِ اَلْبَاطِلِ فِي رَمَضَانَ وَ غَيْرِهِ«.
Ali ibn Mahziyar, from al-Hasan, from al-Qasim, from Ali, from Abu Basir, who said:
Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, said: “Fasting is not from food and drink, and a person ought to guard his tongue from vain false speech in (month of) Ramadan and other than it.”

وَ عَنْهُ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ:» لاَ يَضُرُّ اَلصَّائِمَ مَا صَنَعَ إِذَا اِجْتَنَبَ ثَلاَثَ خِصَالٍ اَلطَّعَامَ وَ اَلشَّرَابَ وَ اَلنِّسَاءَ وَاَلاِرْتِمَاسَ فِي اَلْمَاءِ«.
And from him, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Hammad ibn Uthman, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who said:
I heard Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, saying: “Nothing that the fasting person does harms him if he avoids three qualities: food, drink, (relations with) women, and immersion in water.”

وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ كَذَبَ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ» قَدْ أَفْطَرَ وَ عَلَيْهِ قَضَاؤُهُ« فَقُلْتُ مَا كَذِبَتُهُ فَقَالَ» يَكْذِبُ عَلَى اَللَّهِ وَ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ«.
And from him, from Uthman ibn Isa, from Samaah, who said:
I (narrator) asked him about ‘a man who lied in (month of) Ramadan.’ So he said: “He has broken the fast, and he must make it up.” I (narrator) asked: “What was his lie?” So he said: “He lies against Allah سبحانه وتعالى and against His Messenger صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم.”
