Al-Husayn b. Ibrahim b. Natana narrated to us. He said: `Ali b. Ibrahim b. Hashim narrated to us from his father from al-Rayyan b. al-Salt. He said:

I heard Aba’l Hasan `Ali b. Musa al-Rida say: Whoever says “I seek the forgiveness of Allah and I ask him to pardon me (istaghfirallah wa as’alahul tawba)” seventy times a day in Sha`ban, Allah will record a dissociation for him from the Fire, a permit upon the Path; and He will grant him the Resolute Abode.
