Chapter on the Etiquettes of the Fasting Person, What Invalidates the Fast, and What Does Not Invalidate it
وَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «عَلَيْكُمْ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ بِكَثْرَةِ اَلاِسْتِغْفَارِ وَ اَلدُّعَاءِ فَأَمَّا اَلدُّعَاءُ فَيَدْفَعُ عَنْكُمُ اَلْبَلاَءَ وَ أَمَّا اَلاِسْتِغْفَارُ فَتُمْحَى بِهِ ذُنُوبُكُمْ ».
Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام said: "During the Month of Ramadan, engage abundantly in seeking forgiveness and supplication. As for supplication, it wards off affliction from you, and as for seeking forgiveness, it erases your sins."
