Muhammad ibn Yaqub, from Ali ibn Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad ibn Isa, from Ibrahim ibn Umar al-Yamani, from Amr ibn Shimr, from Jabir, from Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, peace be upon him: Imam عليه السلام said: “When the crescent of the month of Ramadan appeared, the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family, would face the qiblah, raise his hands, and say, ‘O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, bring it upon us with security, faith, safety, Islam, encompassing well-being, abundant provision, and the removal of illnesses. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, grant us its fasting, its standing, and the recitation of the Quran within it. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, keep it sound for us, receive it from us, and keep us safe within it.’”
