1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad and Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Muhammad ibn Yahya al- Khath’amiy form Ghiyath ibn Ibrahim who has said the following
“Abu ‘ Abd Allah, has narrated from his father (a.s.), who has said that ’Amir al- Mu’minin (a.s.), has said, ‘Do not say, “Ramadan.” Say the month of Ramadan; you do not know what Ramadan is.’”
1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْخَثْعَمِيِّ عَنْ غِيَاثِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله عَنْ أَبِيهِ (عَلَيْهِما السَّلاَم) قَالَ
قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَوَاتُ الله عَلَيْهِ لا تَقُولُوا رَمَضَانَ وَلَكِنْ قُولُوا شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ فَإِنَّكُمْ لا تَدْرُونَ مَا رَمَضَانُ.
