1820 - رَوَى أَبَانُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ كَثِيرٍ اَلنَّوَّاءِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «إِنَّ نُوحاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ رَكِبَ اَلسَّفِينَةَ، أَوَّلَ يَوْمٍ مِنْ رَجَبٍ » فَأَمَرَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَنْ مَعَهُ أَنْ يَصُومُوا ذَلِكَ اَلْيَوْمَ وَ قَالَ «مَنْ صَامَ ذَلِكَ اَلْيَوْمَ تَبَاعَدَتْ عَنْهُ اَلنَّارُ مَسِيرَةَ سَنَةٍ وَ مَنْ صَامَ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ أُغْلِقَتْ عَنْهُ أَبْوَابُ اَلنِّيرَانِ اَلسَّبْعَةُ وَ مَنْ صَامَ ثَمَانِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ فُتِحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ اَلْجِنَانِ اَلثَّمَانِيَةُ وَ مَنْ صَامَ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْماً أُعْطِيَ مَسْأَلَتَهُ وَ مَنْ زَادَهُ زَادَهُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ».
Hadith.1820 - It is narrated by Aban ibn Uthman from Kathir al-Nawwa’, from Abu Abdullah (Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq 
), who said:
"Indeed, Noah boarded the Ark on the first day of Rajab. He commanded those with him to fast on that day and said: 'Whoever fasts on that day, the Fire will be distanced from him by a journey of one year. Whoever fasts for seven days, the seven gates of Hell will be closed to him. Whoever fasts for eight days, the eight gates of Paradise will be opened for him. Whoever fasts for fifteen days will have his request granted. And whoever increases [beyond that], Allah (swt), the Almighty, will increase for him.'"
