Merits of the Month of Ramaḍān

Muḥammad b. Ibrāhīm b. Isḥāq narrated to us, saying that Aḥmad b. Muḥammad al-Hamadānī narrated to him among others, saying that ʿAlī b. al-Ḥasan b. ʿAlī b. Faḍḍāl narrated to him among others, from his father, from Abī’l-Ḥasan ʿAlī b. Mūsā al-Riḍā عليه السلام, who said: “Whoever gives a loaf of bread in charity to a pauper at the time he is supposed to break his fast, Allāh will forgive him for his sins and record for him the reward of freeing a descendant of Ismāʿīl from the yoke of slavery.”
