6. Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from al-Husayn ibn Sa'id, from al-Husayn ibn 'Alwan, from 'Amr ibn Shimr, from Jabir, from Abu Ja'far (as) who said
The Messenger of Allah (sw) used to turn his face to the people and say, "O people, when the crescent of the month of Ramadan appears, the rebellious devils are chained; the gates of the sky, the gates of Paradise, and the gates of mercy are opened; the gates of Hell are closed; and prayers are answered. Allah has, at every breaking of the fast, people whom He frees from Hell. A caller calls out every night, 'Is there anyone asking? Is there anyone seeking forgiveness? O Allah, grant every spender (of charity) a replacement (reward), and give every withholder destruction.' Then, when the crescent of Shawwal appears, the believers are called out to, 'Go to your rewards, for it is the day of prize.'"
Then Abu Ja'far (as) said, "By Him in Whose hand is my soul, it is not a prize of dinars or dirhams."
6ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُلْوَانَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ
كَانَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) يُقْبِلُ بِوَجْهِهِ إِلَى النَّاسِ فَيَقُولُ يَا مَعْشَرَ النَّاسِ إِذَا طَلَعَ هِلالُ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ غُلَّتْ مَرَدَةُ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَفُتِحَتْ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ وَأَبْوَابُ الْجِنَانِ وَأَبْوَابُ الرَّحْمَةِ وَغُلِّقَتْ أَبْوَابُ النَّارِ وَاسْتُجِيبَ الدُّعَاءُ وَكَانَ لله فِيهِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ فِطْرٍ عُتَقَاءُ يُعْتِقُهُمُ الله مِنَ النَّارِ وَيُنَادِي مُنَادٍ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ اللهمَّ أَعْطِ كُلَّ مُنْفِقٍ خَلَفاً وَأَعْطِ كُلَّ مُمْسِكٍ تَلَفاً حَتَّى إِذَا طَلَعَ هِلالُ شَوَّالٍ نُودِيَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ أَنِ اغْدُوا إِلَى جَوَائِزِكُمْ فَهُوَ يَوْمُ الْجَائِزَةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَمَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا هِيَ بِجَائِزَةِ الدَّنَانِيرِ وَلا الدَّرَاهِمِ.
