Muhammad b. Ibrahim b. Ishaq narrated to us. He said: Ahmad b. Muhammad al-Kufi narrated to us. He said: `Ali b. al-Hasan b. `Ali b. Faddal narrated to us from his father from Abi’l Hasan `Ali b. Musa al-Rida from his father from his forefathers . He said:

The Messenger of Allah (s) said: Surely, the month of Ramadan is a great month. In it, Allah multiplies the good deeds, erases sins, and uplifts [one in] ranks. Whoever gives in charity in this month, Allah will forgive him. Whoever is good to his slave in it, Allah will forgive him. Whoever beautifies his character in it, Allah will forgive him. Whoever withholds his anger in it, Allah will forgive him. Whoever is merciful in it, Allah will forgive him. Then, he said: Surely, this month of yours is not like the other months. When it comes to you, it comes with blessing and mercy, and when it leaves you, it leaves you with the forgiveness of sins. Good deeds are multiplied in this month. Good actions in it are accepted. Whoever prays two voluntary units for Allah in this month, Allah will forgive him. Then, he said: Surely, the truly wretched one is he who leaves this month without his sins being forgiven. With that he will lose, whilst the righteous will win the rewards of the Generous Lord.
