Merits of the Month of Ramaḍān

Muḥammad b. al-Ḥasan b. Aḥmad b. al-Walīd رضي الله عنه narrated to us, saying that Muḥammad b. al-Ḥasan al-Ṣaffār narrated to him among others, from Muḥammad b. al-Ḥusayn b. Abī’l-Khaṭṭāb, from ʿAlī b. al-Nuʿmān, from ʿAbd Allāh b. Ṭalḥa al-Nahdī, from Jaʿfar b. Muḥammad, from his father, from his forefathers, from ʿAlī عليهم السلام, who said: “The Messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وعلى آله said: “Four supplications are not rejected; rather, the gates of the sky are opened for them, and they are lifted towards the Throne: the supplication of a parent for his child, the supplication of the oppressed against the one who wronged him, the supplication of one performing the lesser pilgrimage (ʿumra) until he returns, and the supplication of one fasting until he breaks his fast.”
