24-6 Al-Muzaf’far ibn Ja’far ibn al-Muzaf’far al-Alavi al-Samarqandi narrated that Ja’far ibn Muhammad ibn Mas’ood quoted his father, on the authority of Ali ibn al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn Faz’zal, on the authority of Muhammad ibn al-Walid, on the authority of Al-Ab’bas ibn Hilal, “I heard Abal-Hassan Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha (MGB) say, ‘Whoever fasts on one day of the month of Sha’aban to gain the reward of the Honorable the Exalted God will go to Paradise. Whoever asks for God’s forgiveness seventy times on every day of the month of Sha’aban would be resurrected amongst the nation of God’s Prophet (MGB) on the Resurrection Day, and his being honored becomes certain by God. Whoever gives charity during the month of Sha’aban, even if it be as little as half a date, God will make forbid the Fire from burning his body. Whoever fasts for three days during the month of Sha’ban and continues on fasting into the month of Ramazan, God will record the reward of fasting for two consecutive months.”
