Hadith #6

وَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «عَلَيْكُمْ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ بِكَثْرَةِ اَلاِسْتِغْفَارِ وَ اَلدُّعَاءِ فَأَمَّا اَلدُّعَاءُ فَيَدْفَعُ عَنْكُمُ اَلْبَلاَءَ وَ أَمَّا اَلاِسْتِغْفَارُ فَتُمْحَى بِهِ ذُنُوبُكُمْ ».

Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib said: "During the Month of Ramadan, engage abundantly in seeking forgiveness and supplication. As for supplication, it wards off affliction from you, and as for seeking forgiveness, it erases your sins."
