2. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ali ibn al-Husayn from ‘Amr ibn ‘Uthman from Hanan ibn Sadir from ‘Abd Allah ibn Dinar who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘O ‘Abd Allah, every ‘Id, like al-Adha’ or al-Fitr that comes renews the sadness for Ale (family of) Muhammad, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause?’ I then asked, ‘Why is it so?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘Because they see their rights in the hands of others?”

"Ô Abdullah, il n'y a pas de fête pour les musulmans, que ce soit l'Aïd al-Adha ou l'Aïd al-Fitr, sans qu'ils renouvellent la tristesse pour la famille de Muhammad, car ils voient leurs droits entre les mains des autres."

3. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from those whom he has mentioned from Muhammad ibn Sulayman from ‘Abd Allah ibn Latif al- Taflisiy from Zurarah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘When al-Husayn, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, was hit with the sword and his head fell, he (the killer) rushed to cut off his head, and an announcer announced from the depth of the Throne, “O straying nation in confusion after its prophet, Allah will not unite you in al-Adha’ and al-Fitr ‘Id?” He (the narrator) has said that abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, then said, ‘Thereafter, by Allah, they did not unite and will not unite until justice about the case of murdering al- Husayn, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, is done?”

Lorsque Al-Husayn ibn Ali (paix soit sur eux) fut frappé par l'épée et que sa tête tomba, et qu'il fut sur le point d'être décapité, une voix retentit d'entre les cieux : "Ô communauté égarée après son Prophète, que Dieu ne vous accorde ni l'Aïd al-Adha ni l'Aïd al-Fitr !" Puis Abu Abdullah (paix soit sur lui) a dit : "Par Dieu, ils ne seront jamais guidés, et ils ne seront pas guidés tant que la vengeance pour Al-Husayn ne sera pas prise."

4. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from al-Harraniy from Ali ibn Muhammad al-Nawfaliy who has said the following: “I once said to abu al-Hassan, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, ‘I used fig and dates for breaking my fast on the day of Fitr.' He (the Imam) said, ‘You have brought together blessing and a noble tradition.'”

"J'ai rompu le jeûne le jour de l'Aïd avec des dattes et des figues, et il m'a dit : Tu as réuni la bénédiction et la tradition."

5. Sahl ibn Ziyad has narrated from Ya’qub ibn Yazid from Yahya ibn al-Mubarak from ‘Abd Allah ibn Jabalah from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar or others who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that if the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, would receive any perfumes on the day of al-Fitr, he would first present it to his wives?’

Le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui et sa famille) avait l'habitude, le jour de l'Aïd al-Fitr, de commencer par ses femmes lorsqu'on lui apportait du parfum.

1. Ahmad ibn Idris has narrated from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Kufiy from ‘Ubays ibn Hisham from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from ‘Abd al- Rahman who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about a man who was captured by the Romans, and he did not fast in the month of Ramadan because he did not know which month was it. He (the Imam) said, ‘He is required to fast for one month. He then tries to calculate; if the month that he has fasted is before the month of Ramadan; it is not sufficient, and if it is after the month of Ramadan, it is then sufficient.’”

J'ai dit à un homme capturé par les Romains qui n'avait pas jeûné le mois de Ramadan et ne savait pas quel mois il était : "Jeûne un mois et rattrape-le, et considère-le comme valide. S'il a jeûné un mois avant Ramadan, cela ne suffit pas, mais s'il jeûne après Ramadan, cela suffit."

2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Yahya ibn ‘Amr ibn Khalifah al-Zayyat from ‘Abd Allah ibn Bukayr from certain individuals of our people who has said the following: “One of the two Imam, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has stated this Hadith. ‘The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, “O young people, you may have carnal relations. If you are unable to do so, you should fast; it has a castrating effect (on carnal desires).””’

Le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Ses bénédictions soient sur lui) a dit : "Ô jeunes gens, pratiquez le mariage, car cela vous préserve du regard illicite. Si vous ne pouvez pas vous marier, jeûnez, car le jeûne sera pour vous une protection."

3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Qasim ibn Yahya from his grandfather, al-Hassan ibn Rashid from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘My father narrated to me from my grandfather from his ancestors, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, who have narrated this Hadith: “Imam Ali, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘It is preferable for a man to go to bed with his wife during the first night of the month of Ramadan because of the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, “Al-Rafath (to go to bed with your wives)” is made lawful for you during the night of fasting.”””

Il est recommandé à un homme de visiter sa famille la première nuit du mois de Ramadan en raison de la parole d'Allah, Exalté soit-Il: "Il vous est permis, la nuit du jeûne, d'approcher vos femmes; elles sont un vêtement pour vous et vous êtes un vêtement pour elles."

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ali ibn Ibrahim al-Ja’fariy from Muhammad ibn al-Fadl who has said the following: “Once al-Rida, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, on the day of al-Fitr said to a certain individual of his servants, while praying for him. ‘O so and so, (I pray) may Allah accept from you and from us.’ Then it was the day of al-Adha’ and he (the Imam) said to him, ‘O so and so, may Allah accept from us and from you.’ I (the narrator) then asked, ‘O child of the Messenger of Allah, why is it that on the day of al-Fitr you said to him something different from what you said to him on the day of al-Adha?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘What I said on the day of al-Fitr was because we both had done the same deed in equal form, but on the day of al-Adha’ we were able to offer a sacrifice, but he was unable to do so, thus we did something different from what he did.’”

Il a dit : "Il a dit à l'un de ses partisans le jour de l'Aïd lorsqu'il priait pour lui : 'Ô untel, que Dieu accepte de toi et de nous.' Puis il resta debout jusqu'au jour de l'Aïd et lui dit : 'Ô untel, que Dieu accepte de nous et de toi.' Il dit : 'Je lui ai alors dit : Ô fils du Messager de Dieu, tu as dit quelque chose à propos de l'Aïd et tu dis autre chose à propos de l'Aïd.' Il répondit : 'Oui, j'ai dit à propos de l'Aïd : Que Dieu accepte de toi et de nous, car il a agi comme Ali a agi, et j'ai imité son action. Et j'ai dit à propos de l'Aïd : Que Dieu accepte de nous et de toi, car il nous est possible de sacrifier alors que cela ne lui est pas possible, donc nous avons agi différemment de lui."

5. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah, from abu al-Sakhr, Ahmad ibn ‘Abd al-Rahim in a marfu‘ manner who has said the following: “Abu al-Hassan, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, on the day of al-Fitr looking at the people who were playing and laughing, turned to his companions and said, ‘Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, has created the month of Ramadan as an arena for His creature to compete in matters of obedience to Him to achieve His pleasure. Certain people have excelled, but others have remained behind and have failed. It is very strange that the laughing people play on the day when people of good deeds receive their reward and people with shortcomings fail. I swear by Allah, had the curtain been moved aside, people of good deeds and people of evil deeds each would have kept busy with their deeds.’”

Il regarda les gens le jour de l'Aïd, jouant et riant, puis il dit à ses compagnons en se tournant vers eux : "Certes, Allah, le Très Haut, a créé le mois de Ramadan comme un étendard pour Sa création, afin qu'ils le devancent dans Son obéissance jusqu'à Son agrément. Certains l'ont devancé et ont réussi, tandis que d'autres ont été laissés derrière et ont échoué. Et quelle étrange chose que de voir quelqu'un rire et jouer le jour où les bienfaisants seront récompensés et les négligents seront déçus. Par Allah, si le voile était levé, le bienfaisant serait occupé par sa bienfaisance et le malfaisant par sa malveillance."

6. Ali ibn Muhammad and Muhammad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah has narrated from Ishaq ibn Muhammad from Hamzah ibn Muhammad who has said the following: “I once wrote to abu Muhammad, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, and asked, ‘Why has Allah made fasting obligatory?’ The answer was, ‘It is made obligatory so that affluent people can feel the taste of hunger and become compassionate to the poor.’”

7. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn Ishaq from al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn Sulayman from Muhammad ibn ‘Imran who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that once when ’Amir al-Mu’minin was in the Masjid of al-Kufa, a certain people, who were found eating during the day in the month of Ramadan were brought before him. ’Amir al-Mu’minin asked them, ‘Did you eat while you were not fasting?’ They replied, ‘Yes, we did so.’ He (the Imam) then asked, ‘Are you Jews?’ They replied, ‘No, we are not Jews.’ He (the Imam) asked, ‘Are you Christians?’ They replied, ‘No, we are not Christians.’ He (the Imam) then asked, ‘Which religion that is different from Islam do you follow?’ They replied, ‘We are Muslims.’ He (the Imam) asked, ‘Are you travelers?’ They replied, ‘No, we are not travelers.’ He (the Imam) asked, ‘Do you have some kind of illness that made you not to fast and that we do not realize, but of which you are more aware than we are? Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, has said, “Man is aware of himself. . . .” (75:14) They replied, ‘We have no illness.’ ’Amir al-Mu’minin then laughed and said, ‘Do you testify that no one deserves worship except Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah?’ They replied, ‘We testify that no one deserves worship except Allah, but we do not know Muhammad.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He is the Messenger of Allah.’ They replied, ‘We do not know him to be as such. He was only an Arab person who called people to himself.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘If you do not testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, I will execute you.’ They replied, ‘Do as you wish.’ He then ordered Shurta al-Khamis (special police) to guard and take them behind the city of Kufa. He ordered them to dig two ditches next to each other with a hole joining the two ditches. He (the Imam) then said to them, ‘I will place you in one of these two ditches and start a fire in the other one and make you die because of smoke.’ They said, ‘Do as you wish. This life ends anyway.’ They were gently placed in the ditch, then he (the Imam) gave the order to start a fire in the other ditch and kept calling them repeatedly; each time they replied, ‘You can do as you wish,’ until they died. He then returned, but the news spread and people spoke about it. One day he (the Imam) was in the Masjid when a Jewish man from Yathrib, whom all Jews of Yathrib confirmed to be the most knowledgeable one among them, as was his ancestors, and a group of people of his family, came to ’Amir al-Mu’minin. When they arrived near the great Masjid of al-Kufa, they disembarked, then stood at the door of the Masjid and sent someone to ’Amir al-Mu’minin with a message that said, ‘We are a group of Jewish people. We have come from Hijaz and we need to speak to you. Do you want to come out or should we enter to see you?’ The narrator has said that he (the Imam) then went out to them, saying, ‘They will soon enter and begin with oath. What do you need?’ The chief person among them asked, ‘O son of abu Talib, what is this innovation that you have introduced in the religion of Muhammad, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause?’ He (the Imam) then asked, ‘What kind of innovation are you talking about?’ The Jewish man said, ‘People of Hijaz say that you executed by means of smoke certain men. They were a people who testified that it is only Allah who alone deserves worship but would not testify that Muhammad, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, is the Messenger of Allah.’ ’Amir al-Mu’minin said, ‘I swear you upon the nine miracles that were given to Moses, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, on Mount Sinai. I swear you upon the five temples of al-Quds and the position of the Judge. Do you know that Usha‘ ibn Nun, after the death of Moses, before whom a people were brought who had testified that Allah alone deserves worship, but did not testify that Moses was the Messenger of Allah, executed them the way I did?’ The Jewish man replied, ‘Yes, I testify that you are a keeper of the secrets of Moses.’ The narrator has said that he then took out of the pocket of his gown a book (letter) and gave it to ’Amir al-Mu’minin who opened it, looked at it and wept. The Jewish man then asked, ‘What makes you weep, O son of abu Talib? You just looked at a letter that is in the Suryaniy language, and you are an Arab man. Do you know what is in it?’ ’Amir al-Mu’minin, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, said to him, ‘Yes, I know. This is my name written in it.’ The Jewish man then asked, ‘Show me your name in this book (letter) and tell me what your name is in the Suryaniy language?’ The narrator has said, ‘’Amir al-Mu’minin, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, showed him his name on the page and said, “My name in Suryaniy language is ‘Eliya’.” The Jewish man then said, ‘I testify that only Allah deserves worship, Muhammad, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, is the Messenger of Allah, and you are the executor of the will of Muhammad. I testify that you have more authority over the people than they themselves do after Muhammad, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause.’ They pledged allegiance to ’Amir al-Mu’minin and entered the Masjid, and said, ‘All praise belongs to Allah before whom I was not forgotten. All praise belongs to Allah who listed me in the book (page) before Him along with the virtuous ones. All praise belongs to Allah, the owner of glory and honor.’”

"Puis il partit, suivi de cavaliers, et les gens en parlèrent. Un jour, alors qu'il était à la mosquée, un Juif de Yathrib vint le voir, affirmant que les gens de Yathrib et ses ancêtres le connaissaient bien. Il se présenta à l'Imam des croyants (que la paix soit sur lui) avec certains membres de sa famille. Après avoir terminé, ils se rendirent à la grande mosquée de Koufa et demandèrent à voir l'Imam des croyants (que la paix soit sur lui), disant qu'ils étaient des Juifs venus du Hedjaz avec une requête pour lui. Il sortit pour les rencontrer en disant : 'Ils entreront et prêteront serment par le droit divin, puis ils poseront des questions avec insistance. Quelle est votre requête?' Leur chef lui dit : 'O fils d'Abu Talib, quelle est cette innovation que tu as introduite dans la religion de Muhammad (que la paix soit sur lui)?' Il lui demanda : 'Quelle innovation?' Le Juif répondit : 'Certains prétendent que tu as attaqué un groupe de personnes du Hedjaz qui témoignaient qu'il n'y a de divinité qu'Allah, mais ne reconnaissaient pas Muhammad comme son Messager, et que tu les as tués avec de la fumée.' L'Imam des croyants (que la paix soit sur lui) lui dit : 'Je te conjure par les neuf versets ré
