3-209 Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Musa - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn Aba Abdullah al-Kufy quoted Musa ibn Imran al-Nakha’ee, on the authority of his uncle Al-Hussein ibn Yazid al-Nawfaly, on the authority of Ali ibn Abi Hamzih on the authority of his father, “I askedAba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) about the reward for fasting based on the tradition of God’s Prophet (MGB). The Imam (MGB) replied, “All together there are three days in the whole month fasting on which equals fasting the whole year long: the Thursday in the first ten days of the month; the Wednesday in the second ten days and the Thursday in the last ten days. The Honorable the Exalted God said, ‘
He that doeth good shall have ten times as much to his credit:…’ Whoever is too weak to fast on these three days can pay one Dirham in charity for each day.”.
3-209 حدثنا علي بن أحمد بن موسى رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا محمد بن أبي عبد الله الكوفي، عن موسى بن عمران النخعي، عن عمه الحسين بن يزيد النوفلي،عن علي بن أبي حمزة، عن أبيه قال
سألت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام عما جرت به السنة في الصوم من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله قال: ثلاثة أيام في كل شهر: خميس في العشر الاول، وأربعاء في العشر الاوسط، وخميس في العشر الاخير، يعدل صيامهن صيام الدهر لقول الله عز وجل "من جاء بالحسنة فله عشر أمثالها" فمن لم يقدر عليها لضعف فصدقة درهم أفضل له من صيام يوم
