Hadith 845
۞
`Ali b. Ahmad b. Musa (ra) narrated to us. He said: Muhammad b. Abi `Abdullah al-Kufi narrated to us. He said: Musa b. `Imran al-Nakha`i narrated to us from his uncle al-Husayn b. Yazid al-Nawfali. He said
I heard Malik b. Anas the jurist say: By Allah, my eye has not seen one more virtuous than Ja`far b. Muhammad (as) in asceticism, in goodness, in worship, and in piety. I would visit him, and he would receive me and be generous with me. So, one day, I said to him: O son of the Messenger of Allah! What is the reward of one who fasts a day in Rajab in faith and anticipation? So, he said – and whenever he spoke, he was honest –: My father narrated to me from his father from his grandfather. He said: The Messenger of Allah (s) said: “Whoever fasts a day in Rajab in faith and anticipation will be forgiven.” So, I said to him: O son of the Messenger of Allah! What is the reward of one who fasts a day in Sha`ban? So, he said: My father narrated to me from his father from his grandfather. He said: The Messenger of Allah (s) said: “Whoever fasts a day in Sha`ban in faith and anticipation will be forgiven.”
2 - حدثنا علي بن أحمد بن موسى (رضي الله عنه)، قال: حدثنا محمد بن أبي عبد الله الكوفي، قال: حدثنا موسى بن عمران النخعي، عن عمه الحسين بن يزيد النوفلي، قال
سمعت مالك بن أنس الفقيه يقول: والله ما رأت عيني أفضل من جعفر ابن محمد (عليه السلام) زهدا وفضلا وعبادة وورعا، وكنت أقصده فيكرمني ويقبل علي، فقلت له يوما: يا بن رسول الله، ما ثواب من صام يوما من رجب إيمانا واحتسبا؟ فقال - وكان والله إذا قال الصدق - حدثني أبي، عن أبيه، عن جده، قال: قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): من صام يوما من رجب إيمانا واحتسابا غفر له. فقلت له: يا بن رسول الله، فما ثواب من صام يوما من شعبان؟ فقال: حدثني أبي، عن أبيه، عن جده، قال: قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): من صام يوما من شعبان إيمانا واحتسابا غفر له (1).
