8. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from ‘Ubays ibn Hisham from al-Hadramiy ibn ‘Abd al-Malik from Muhammad ibn Hakim who has said the following
“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about the case of a day about which people have doubts. People think if one fasts on such a day, it is like destroying one day of fasting in the month of Ramadan. He (the Imam) said, ‘They have spoken a lie. If it is of the month of Ramadan, it is a fortunate chance for him; and if it is of other days then it is like any of the past days.’”
8ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عُبَيْسِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ عَنِ الْخَضِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنِ الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي يُشَكُّ فِيهِ فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ مَنْ صَامَهُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ مَنْ أَفْطَرَ يَوْماً فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ كَذَبُوا إِنْ كَانَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَهُوَ يَوْمٌ وُفِّقَ لَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ غَيْرِهِ فَهُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ مَا مَضَى مِنَ الأَيَّامِ.
