أَخْبَرَنِي جَمَاعَةٌ عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْفَرَزْدَقِ اَلْقِطَعِيِّ اَلْبَزَّازِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ اَلْمَالِكِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ هِلاَلٍ اَلْعَبَرْتَائِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« صُومُوا شَعْبَانَ وَ اِغْتَسِلُوا لَيْلَةَ اَلنِّصْفِ مِنْهُ« ذٰلِكَ تَخْفِيفٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ».
A group narrated to me from Abu Muhammad Harun ibn Musa, from al-Husayn ibn Muhammad ibn al-Farazdaq al-Qit’i al-Bazzaz, who said: Al-Husayn ibn Ahmad al-Maliki narrated to us, who said: Ahmad ibn Hilal al-Abarta’i narrated to us, who said: Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Hammad ibn Uthman, from Abu Basir, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said:
"Fast during the month of Sha’ban and perform ghusl on the night of its middle, as 'this is an easing from your Lord' (Quran 2:178)."
