Al-Shaykh Al-Faqih Abu Ja`far Muhammad b. `Ali b. al-Husayn b. Musa b. Babuwayh (rh) narrated to us. He said: Muhammad b. Ibrahim b. Ishaq narrated to us. He said: `Abdul `Aziz b. Yahya al-Basri narrated to us. He said: Al-Mughira b. Muhammad narrated to us. He said: Jabir b. Salama narrated to us. He said: Husayn b. Hasan narrated to us from `Amer al-Sarraj from Salam al-Khath`ami from Abu Ja`far Muhammad b. `Ali al-Baqir (as). He said
"Whomever fasts one day in Rajab, from its beginning or its middle or its end, Allah will make Paradise obligatory for him. He will bring him to us, in our rank, on the Day of Resurrection. Whomever fasts two days in Rajab, it will be said to him: “Resume your work, for everything that has passed has been forgiven.” Whomever fasts three days in Rajab, it will be said to him: “Everything that has passed and everything that will remain has been forgiven, so intercede for whichever sinner you wish from your brethren to your acquaintances.” Whomever fasts seven days in Rajab, the seven doors of Hell will be locked from him. Whomever fasts eight days in Rajab, the eight doors of Paradise will be opened for him, and he will be able to enter whichever one he wants."
حدثنا الشيخ الفقيه أبو جعفر محمد بن علي بن الحسين بن موسى بن بابويه القمي (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثنا محمد بن إبراهيم بن إسحاق، قال: حدثنا عبد العزيز ابن يحيى البصري، قال: حدثنا المغيرة بن محمد، قال: حدثني جابر بن سلمة، قال: حدثنا حسين بن حسن، عن عامر السراج، عن سلام الخثعمي، عن أبي جعفر محمد ابن علي الباقر (عليه السلام)، قال
من صام من رجب يوما واحدا، من أوله أو وسطه أو آخره، أوجب الله له الجنة، وجعله معنا في درجتنا يوم القيامة، ومن صام يومين من رجب، قيل له: استأنف العمل، فقد غفر لك ما مضى، ومن صام ثلاثة أيام من رجب، قيل له: قد غفر لك ما مضى وما بقي، فاشفع لمن شئت من مذنبي إخوانك وأهل معرفتك، ومن صام سبعة أيام من رجب، أغلقت عنه أبواب النيران السبعة، ومن صام ثمانية أيام من رجب، فتحت له أبواب الجنة الثمانية، فيدخلها من أيها شاء (1).
