1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Qasim ibn Yahya from his grandfather al-Hassan ibn Rashid from abu ‘ Abdillah (a.s.)
I said to him: ’May I be sacrificed for you, is there another ‘Id for the Muslims, besides the two ‘Ids?‘ He replied, ‘Yes, O Hassan, there is a greater and more important ‘Id than these.’ I then asked, ‘And what day is that?’ He replied, ‘It is the day when ’Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.) was appointed as the banner and lighthouse for people.’ I then said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you, what then should we do on this (day)?’ He replied, ‘Fast, O Hassan, increase your blessings upon Muhammad and his family, and denounce before Allah those who did injustice to them. Verily, the prophets, may the blessings of Allah be upon them, would command the successors to celebrate the day when they were appointed as a successor, as ‘Id.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if one fasts on such day?’ He replied, ‘Fasting on this day is equal to fasting for sixty months. Do not ignore fasting on the twenty-seventh of the month of Rajab, for it is the day when prophethood came down up on Muhammad (sw). Its reward is equal to sixty months (of fasting) for you.”’
1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ جَدِّهِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ
قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ عِيدٌ غَيْرَ الْعِيدَيْنِ قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا حَسَنُ أَعْظَمُهُمَا وَأَشْرَفُهُمَا قُلْتُ وَأَيُّ يَوْمٍ هُوَ قَالَ هُوَ يَوْمٌ نُصِبَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَوَاتُ الله وَسَلامُهُ عَلَيْهِ فِيهِ عَلَماً لِلنَّاسِ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ وَمَا يَنْبَغِي لَنَا أَنْ نَصْنَعَ فِيهِ قَالَ تَصُومُهُ يَا حَسَنُ وَتُكْثِرُ الصَّلاةَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ وَتَبَرَّأُ إِلَى الله مِمَّنْ ظَلَمَهُمْ فَإِنَّ الأَنْبِيَاءَ صَلَوَاتُ الله عَلَيْهِمْ كَانَتْ تَأْمُرُ الأَوْصِيَاءَ بِالْيَوْمِ الَّذِي كَانَ يُقَامُ فِيهِ الْوَصِيُّ أَنْ يُتَّخَذَ عِيداً قَالَ قُلْتُ فَمَا لِمَنْ صَامَهُ قَالَ صِيَامُ سِتِّينَ شَهْراً وَلا تَدَعْ صِيَامَ يَوْمِ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِنْ رَجَبٍ فَإِنَّهُ هُوَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي نَزَلَتْ فِيهِ النُّبُوَّةُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَثَوَابُهُ مِثْلُ سِتِّينَ شَهْراً لَكُمْ.
