2. We were told by my father that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Yahya al-‘Attar, from Muhammed bin Ahmad bin Yahya bin Imran al-Ash’ari, from Hamdan bin Sulayman, from Ayyub bin Nuh, from Isma’eel al-Farra’, from a man that said:

I said to Abu 'Abdillah (al-Sadiq) : Did Rasulullah ﷺ not say with regards to Abu Dharr : «The sky has not shadowed upon nor has the earth carried anyone with a tongue more truthful than Abu Dharr»? He said: "Yes." (The man) asked: "Then what about Rasulullah ﷺ and Amir al-Mu'minin ? And what about al-Hasan and al-Hussain ?". He (the Imam) said: "How many months are there in a year?". I said: "Twelve months." He said: "How many of them are sacred?". I said: "Four months." He said: "Is the month of Ramadan among them?". I said: "No." He said: "Indeed, in the month of Ramadan there is a night that is better than a thousand months. Indeed, we are a Household to whom none is compared with."
