Hadith 231
۞
5. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Shaban is my month and Ramadan is the month of Allah. It is spring for the poor. The Almighty Allah has made Eid-ul-Azha so that poor get to eat meat and hence you should perform Qurbani and offer meat to them.”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ مَهْزِیَارَ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَهَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِیلَ بْنِ أَبِی زِیَادٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص شَعْبَانُ شَهْرِی وَ رَمَضَانُ شَهْرُ اللَّهِ وَ هُوَ رَبِیعُ الْفُقَرَاءِ وَ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الْأَضْحَی لِشِبَعِ مَسَاکِینِکُمْ مِنَ اللَّحْمِ فَأَطْعِمُوهُمْ.
