۞
9. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ya’qub ibn Yazid from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Nawfaliy from al-Husayn ibn al-Mukhtar in a marfu‘ manner who has said the following
“’Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.), has said, ‘When you see the crescent of the month of Ramadan, say this without fail, “O Allah, I appeal before You for the best of this month, its relief, light, support, blessings, cleanliness and sustenance. I appeal before You for all the good in it and thereafter. I seek refuge with You against the evil therein and thereafter. O Allah, send it to us with peace, belief, protection, Islam, blessings and good opportunities to do what You love and approve.’”
8ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْمُخْتَارِ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ
قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْهِلالَ فَلا تَبْرَحْ وَقُلِ اللهمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ وَفَتْحَهُ وَنُورَهُ وَنَصْرَهُ وَبَرَكَتَهُ وَطَهُورَهُ وَرِزْقَهُ وَأَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ مَا فِيهِ وَخَيْرَ مَا بَعْدَهُ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِيهِ وَشَرِّ مَا بَعْدَهُ اللهمَّ أَدْخِلْهُ عَلَيْنَا بِالأَمْنِ وَالإِيمَانِ وَالسَّلامَةِ وَالإِسْلامِ وَالْبَرَكَةِ وَالتَّوْفِيقِ لِمَا تُحِبُّ وَتَرْضَى.
