Hadith 479
۞
Hadith.2050 - It is narrated from Al-Bazanti, from Hisham ibn Salim, from Sa’d Al-Khaffaf, from Abu Ja’far (as), who said
"We were with him, eight men, and the topic of Month of Ramadan was mentioned.
Imam (as) said: 'Do not say, "This is Ramadan," or "Ramadan has passed," or "Ramadan has come," for Ramadan is one of the names of Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic. It does not come or go; it is the transient (month) that comes and goes.
Instead, say, "The Month of Ramadan," for the month is attributed to the name, and the name is one of the names of Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic. It is the month in which the Quran was revealed. Allah (swt), the Almighty, made it an example and a celebration.'"

كُنَّا عِنْدَهُ ثَمَانِيَةَ رِجَالٍ فَذَكَرْنَا رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ «لاَ تَقُولُوا هَذَا رَمَضَانُ وَ لاَ ذَهَبَ رَمَضَانُ وَ لاَ جَاءَ رَمَضَانُ فَإِنَّ رَمَضَانَ اِسْمٌ مِنْ أَسْمَاءِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لاَ يَجِيءُ وَ لاَ يَذْهَبُ إِنَّمَا يَجِيءُ وَ يَذْهَبُ اَلزَّائِلُ وَ لَكِنْ قُولُوا « شَهْرُ رَمَضٰانَ » فَالشَّهْرُ مُضَافٌ إِلَى اَلاِسْمِ وَ اَلاِسْمُ اِسْمُ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ هُوَ اَلشَّهْرُ «اَلَّذِي أُنْزِلَ فِيهِ اَلْقُرْآنُ » جَعَلَهُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَثَلاً وَ عِيداً ».
