Hadith.1953 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq said: "Sadir entered upon my father during the Month of Ramadan. My father said to him: 'O Sadir, do you know what nights these are?' Sadir replied: 'Yes, may I be your ransom; these are the nights of the Month of Ramadan. Why do you ask?' My father said to him: 'Can you free ten slaves from the descendants of Isma'il every night of these nights?' Sadir replied: 'May I be your ransom, my wealth cannot reach that amount.' My father continued to reduce the number until he said: 'Can you free one slave every night?' Sadir replied: 'I cannot do that either.' My father then asked: 'Can you provide iftar for one Muslim every night?' Sadir replied: 'Yes, I can, and even for ten Muslims.' My father said: 'That is what I intended, O Sadir. Providing iftar to your Muslim brother is equal to freeing one slave from the descendants of Isma'il .'"
