Chapter on Voluntary Fasting and Its Rewards on Different Days
وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «مَنْ صَامَ أَوَّلَ يَوْمٍ مِنْ عَشْرِ ذِي اَلْحِجَّةِ كَتَبَ اَللَّهُ لَهُ صَوْمَ ثَمَانِينَ شَهْراً فَإِنْ صَامَ اَلتِّسْعَ كَتَبَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ صَوْمَ اَلدَّهْرِ».
It is narrated from Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim عليه السلام who said: "Whoever fasts the first day of the ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah, Allah سبحانه وتعالى will record for him the reward of fasting eighty months. And if he fasts all nine days, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty, will record for him the reward of fasting a lifetime."
