Chapter on Voluntary Fasting and Its Rewards on Different Days
وَ رُوِيَ: «أَنَّ فِي تِسْعٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ مِنْ ذِي اَلْقَعْدَةِ أَنْزَلَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ اَلْكَعْبَةَ وَ هِيَ أَوَّلُ رَحْمَةٍ نَزَلَتْ فَمَنْ صَامَ ذَلِكَ اَلْيَوْمَ كَانَ كَفَّارَةَ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً ».
It is narrated: "On the 29th of Dhu al-Qa‘dah, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty, sent down the Ka‘bah, which was the first mercy to descend. Whoever fasts on that day, it will be an expiation for seventy years."
