Excellence of Ramadan Month and reward of fasting
حَدَّثَنِی أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِی عُمَیْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی أَحْمَدُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ الْخَزَّازُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: قَالَ یَا جَابِرُ مَنْ دَخَلَ عَلَیْهِ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ فَصَامَ نَهَارَهُ وَ قَامَ وِرْداً مِنْ لَیْلِهِ وَ حَفِظَ فَرْجَهُ وَ لِسَانَهُ وَ غَضَّ بَصَرَهُ وَ کَفَّ أَذَاهُ خَرَجَ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ کَیَوْمَ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاکَ مَا أَحْسَنَ هَذَا مِنْ حَدِیثٍ قَالَ مَا أَشَدَّهَا مِنْ شَرْطٍ.
1. My father narrated to me, he said: Sa'd b. Abdullah narrated to us, he said: Ahmad b. Muhammad narrated to us, from al-Husayn b. Sa'eed, from Ibn Abi 'Umayr, he said: Ahmad b. al-Nadr al-Khazzaz narrated to me, from 'Amr b. Shimr, from Jabir, from Abu Ja'far عليه السلام, he said: "O Jabir! Whoever enters the month of Ramadan and fasts its days, stands in prayer during its nights, guards his chastity, guards his tongue, lowers his gaze, and refrains from harming others, he will emerge free of sins as the day his mother bore him." I said: "May I be your ransom! How excellent is this hadith!" He said: "How stringent is its condition."
