Chapter on Merit of Fasting the Day of Doubt and Taking Precaution for Fasting the Month of Ramadan
وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي اَلصُّهْبَانِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بَكْرِ بْنِ جَنَاحٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ شَجَرَةَ عَنْ بَشِيرٍ اَلنَّبَّالِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ صَوْمِ يَوْمِ اَلشَّكِّ فَقَالَ» صُمْهُ فَإِنْ يَكُ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ كَانَ تَطَوُّعاً وَ إِنْ يَكُ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَيَوْمٌ وُفِّقْتَ لَهُ«.
And from him, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Muhammad ibn Abi al-Suhban, from Muhammad ibn Bakr ibn Janah, from Ali ibn Shajarah, from Bashir al-Nabbal, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said:
I (narrator) asked Imam عليه السلام about ‘fasting the day of doubt.’ Imam عليه السلام said: “Fast it, for if it is from Shaban, it is voluntary, and if it is from the month of Ramadan, then it is a day for which you were granted success.”
