3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Qasim ibn Yahya from his grandfather, al-Hassan ibn Rashid who has said the following
“I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘People say that forgiveness descends upon the fasting people during the month of Ramadan in the night of destiny.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘O al- Hassan, al-Qarijar (a worker) receives his wages upon completion of his task on the night of ‘Id (first of Shawwal).’ I then said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, what then should we do?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘When it is sunset, take a shower, and when you complete al-Maghrib salat (prayer), raise your hands and say, “O Generous, O Benevolent, O Munificent, O the One who chose Muhammad and helped him, I appeal before You to grant salawat (favors and compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause). Forgive all of my sins that I have committed and You have counted against me, but I have forgotten them and they are before You in Your book.” Then bow down for prostration and say one hundred times, “I turn in repentance to Allah” while prostrating and ask for your wishes.’”
3ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ جَدِّهِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ الْمَغْفِرَةَ تَنْزِلُ عَلَى مَنْ صَامَ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فَقَالَ يَا حَسَنُ إِنَّ الْقَارِيجَارَ إِنَّمَا يُعْطَى أُجْرَتَهُ عِنْدَ فَرَاغِهِ ذَلِكَ لَيْلَةَ الْعِيدِ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَمَا يَنْبَغِي لَنَا أَنْ نَعْمَلَ فِيهَا فَقَالَ إِذَا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَاغْتَسِلْ وَإِذَا صَلَّيْتَ الثَّلاثَ الْمَغْرِبِ فَارْفَعْ يَدَيْكَ وَقُلْ يَا ذَا الْمَنِّ يَا ذَا الطَّوْلِ يَا ذَا الْجُودِ يَا مُصْطَفِياً مُحَمَّداً وَنَاصِرَهُ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ وَاغْفِرْ لِي كُلَّ ذَنْبٍ أَذْنَبْتُهُ أَحْصَيْتَهُ عَلَيَّ وَنَسِيتُهُ وَهُوَ عِنْدَكَ فِي كِتَابِكَ وَتَخِرُّ سَاجِداً وَتَقُولُ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ أَتُوبُ إِلَى الله وَأَنْتَ سَاجِدٌ وَتَسْأَلُ حَوَائِجَكَ. وَرُوِيَ أَنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) كَانَ يُصَلِّي فِيهَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ يَقْرَأُ فِي الأُولَى الْحَمْدَ وَقُلْ هُوَ الله أَحَدٌ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ وَفِي الثَّانِيَةِ الْحَمْدَ وَقُلْ هُوَ الله أَحَدٌ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً.
