مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَ اهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ إِبْرَ اهِيمَ بْنِ عُمَرَ اَلْيَمَانِيِّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:» كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ إِذَا هَلَّ هِلاَلُ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ اِسْتَقْبَلَ اَلْقِبْلَةَ وَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ» اَللَّهُمَّ أَهِلَّهُ عَلَيْنَا بِالْأَمْنِ وَ اَلْإِيمَانِ وَاَلسَّلاَمَةِ وَ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ وَ اَلْعَافِيَةِ اَلْمُجَلِّلَةِ وَ اَلرِّزْقِ اَلْوَاسِعِ وَدَفْعِ اَلْأَسْقَامِ اَللَّهُمَّ اُرْزُقْنَا صِيَامَهُ وَقِيَامَهُ وَتِلاَوَةَ اَلْقُرْآنِ فِيهِ اَللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْهُ لَنَا وَتَسَلَّمْهُ مِنَّا وَسَلِّمْنَا فِيهِ««.

Muhammad ibn Yaqub, from Ali ibn Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad ibn Isa, from Ibrahim ibn Umar al-Yamani, from Amr ibn Shimr, from Jabir, from Abu Ja’far (a.s), peace be upon him: Imam (a.s) said: “When the crescent of the month of Ramadan appeared, the Messenger of Allah (swt), may Allah (swt) bless him and his family, would face the qiblah, raise his hands, and say, ‘O Allah (swt), bring it upon us with security, faith, safety, Islam, encompassing well-being, abundant provision, and the removal of illnesses. O Allah (swt), grant us its fasting, its standing, and the recitation of the Quran within it. O Allah (swt), keep it sound for us, receive it from us, and keep us safe within it.’”

وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنِ اَلْحَكَمِ بْنِ مِسْكِينٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ شِمْرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ:» كَانَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِذَا هَلَّ هِلاَلُ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ أَقْبَلَ إِلَى اَلْقِبْلَةِ وَ قَالَ» اَللَّهُمَّ أَهِلَّهُ عَلَيْنَا بِالْأَمْنِ وَ اَلْإِيمَانِ وَاَلسَّلاَمَةِ وَ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ وَ اَلْعَافِيَةِ اَلْمُجَلِّلَةِ اَللَّهُمَّ اُرْزُقْنَا صِيَامَهُ وَ قِيَامَهُ وَتِلاَوَةَ اَلْقُرْآنِ فِيهِ اَللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْهُ لَنَا وَتَسَلَّمْهُ مِنَّا وَسَلِّمْنَا فِيهِ««.

And from him, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Ali ibn al-Hasan, from Ali ibn Asbat, from al-Hakam ibn Miskin, who said: Amr ibn Shimr narrated to us, saying: I (narrator) heard Abu Abdillah (a.s), saying: “When the crescent of the month of Ramadan appeared, the Commander of the Faithful (a.s), peace be upon him, would turn toward the qiblah and say, ‘O Allah (swt), bring it upon us with security, faith, safety, Islam, and encompassing well-being. O Allah (swt), grant us its fasting, its standing, and the recitation of the Quran within it. O Allah (swt), keep it sound for us, receive it from us, and keep us safe within it.’”

وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ اَلنَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ اَلْمُخْتَارِ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ:» إِذَا رَأَيْتَ اَلْهِلاَلَ فَلاَ تَبْرَحْ وَ قُلِ اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذَا اَلشَّهْرِ وَ نُورَهُ وَنَصْرَهُ وَبَرَكَتَهُ وَطَهُورَهُ وَ رِزْقَهُ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ مَا فِيهِ وَ خَيْرَ مَا بَعْدَهُ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِيهِ وَ شَرِّ مَا بَعْدَهُ اَللَّهُمَّ أَدْخِلْهُ عَلَيْنَا بِالْأَمْنِ وَ اَلْإِيمَانِ وَاَلسَّلاَمَةِ وَ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ وَاَلْبَرَكَةِ وَاَلتَّقْوَى وَ اَلتَّوْفِيقِ لِمَا تُحِبُّ وَتَرْضَى«.

And from him, from a number of our companions, from Sahl ibn Ziyad, from Yaqub ibn Yazid, from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Nawfali, from al-Husayn ibn al-Mukhtar, raising it, who said: The Commander of the Faithful (a.s), peace be upon him, said: “When you see the crescent, then do not depart (without saying), and say: ‘O Allah (swt), I ask You (swt) for the good of this month, its light, its victory, its blessing, its purity, and its provision. And I ask You (swt) for the good of what is in it and the good of what is after it, And I seek refuge in You (swt) from the evil of what is in it and the evil of what is after it. O Allah (swt), bring it upon us with security, faith, safety, Islam, blessing, God-wariness, and success in what You (swt) love and are pleased with.”
