L'excellence du jeûne pendant le mois de Cha'ban, la continuité de ce jeûne pour le lier au mois de Ramadan, et les trois jours de jeûne chaque mois.

3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Ali ibn al-Salt from Zur‘ah ibn Muhammad (from Sama‘ah) and al-Mufaddal ibn ‘Umar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that Ali ibn al-Husayn, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, would fast during the month of Sha‘ban and the month of Ramadan in a continuous manner and would say, ‘Fasting during two months in a continuous manner is returning to Allah.’”

Ali ibn Al-Husayn (que la paix soit sur eux deux) jeûnait entre Sha'ban et Ramadan et disait : Le jeûne de deux mois consécutifs est une repentance de Dieu.

4. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Husayn ibn ‘Ulwan from ‘Amr ibn Khalid who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, would fast during the month of Sha‘ban and the month of Ramadan and continue fasting. He (the Messenger of Allah) prohibited people to continue fasting without a break (after sunset). He also said, ‘These two are the months of Allah and this (fasting in the two months) is expiation of the sins before and after these two months.’”

Le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) jeûnait les mois de Cha'ban et de Ramadan sans les interrompre, et il recommandait aux gens de ne pas les interrompre. Il disait : "Ce sont deux mois d'Allah et ce sont une expiation pour ce qui précède et pour ce qui suit en termes de péchés."

5. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from certain individuals of his people from Muhammad ibn Sulayman from his father who has said the following: “Once I asked abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, ‘What do you say about a man who fasts during the month of Sha‘ban and the month of Ramadan?’ He replied, ‘They are the months about which Allah, the most Blessed, the most High, has said, “Two months one after the other in which (certain) people return to Allah.’” I then asked, ‘Is it necessary to fast without a break?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If he breaks his fast after sunset, it is a break. The Messenger of Allah has said, “There is no connecting in fasting means one must not fast for two days without breaking his fast after sunset. Sometimes it is desirable for a man to eat food before dawn.’””

J'ai demandé à Abu 'Abdillah (sur lui la paix) ce qu'il pensait d'un homme jeûnant Sha'ban et le mois de Ramadan. Il a dit : "Ce sont les deux mois que Dieu, le Très-Haut, a mentionnés comme deux mois consécutifs de repentir de Dieu." J'ai dit : "Alors, ne devraient-ils pas être séparés ?" Il a répondu : "Quand il rompt son jeûne pendant la nuit, c'est une séparation. Certes, le Messager de Dieu (que la paix soit sur lui et sur sa famille) a dit : 'Il n'y a pas de complément dans un jeûne', c'est-à-dire qu'un homme ne devrait pas jeûner deux jours consécutifs sans rompre le jeûne, bien qu'il soit recommandé pour le serviteur de ne pas négliger le repas de l'aube."

6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, was asked about fasting while one is at home. The Imam answered, ‘It is three days every month. They are a Thursday of one week, Wednesday of one week and Thursday of another week. ’Amir al-Mu’minin, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, “Fasting for a month is patience. Three days of fasting of every month removes temptation. Fasting of three days of every month is (like) fasting all the time. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, says, ‘One who does a good deed receives tenfold reward.’ (6:151)’””

qu'il a été interrogé sur le jeûne en période de résidence. Il a répondu : "Trois jours de jeûne dans chaque mois : le jeudi, le mercredi et le jeudi d'une autre semaine. Et l'Imam des croyants (que la paix soit sur lui) a dit : Le jeûne du mois de patience et trois jours de chaque mois éloignent les maladies des poitrines. Et le jeûne de trois jours de chaque mois est le jeûne de toute une vie. Certes, Allah le Très Haut dit : Celui qui accomplit une bonne action en obtient dix fois le mérite."

7. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn abu Nasr who has said the following: “I asked abu al-Hassan, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about fasting during a month. He replied, ’It is three days every month, one day in every ten days. Allah, the most Blessed, the most High, says, “One who does a good deed receives tenfold reward.” (6:151) Three days of fasting every month is like fasting all the time.’”

Trois jours de jeûne par mois, répartis en trois jours chaque dix jours, équivalent à jeûner toute une vie selon la récompense divine pour une bonne action.

8. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid, from Muhammad ibn Ali from al-Husayn ibn Mukhariq abu Junadah al-Siluwliy from abu Hamzah who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has narrated from his father who has narrated this Hadith. ’The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, “If one fasts during the month of Sha’ban, it will be a cleansing for him, from all zallah (a slip), wasmah and badirah.’” I (abu Hamzah) then asked, ‘What is wasmah?’ He replied, ‘It is swearing and a vow for unlawful cause.’ I asked, ‘What is badirah?’ He replied, ‘It is swearing when one is angry; repenting for it is regretting.’”

Celui qui jeûne le mois de Cha'ban, aura une purification de toute faute, tache et précipitation.

9. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from ibn Bukayr from Zurarah who has said the following: ’’Once I asked abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the best tradition in optional fasting. The Imam replied, ‘It is three days of fasting every month. It is the first Thursday, the Wednesday after the tenth day and the last Thursday of a month.’ I then asked, ‘Is that all of the tradition about fasting?’ He replied, ‘Yes, this is all about it.’”

Trois jours de jeûne chaque mois, le jeudi au début du mois, le mercredi au milieu du mois, et le jeudi à la fin du mois.

10. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad from Hariz who has said the following: “Someone asked abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about fasting on Wednesday. The Imam said, ’Amir al-Mu’minin, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, “Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, created hellfire on Wednesday; for this reason there is fasting to seek refuge thereby from the fire.’””

Il a été demandé à Abu Abdullah (sur lui la paix) : "Qu'a-t-il été rapporté sur le jeûne le jour du mercredi ?" Il a répondu : "L'Imam des croyants (sur lui la paix) a dit : 'Certes, Allah, Puissant et Majestueux, a créé le Feu le jour du mercredi, et Il a rendu son jeûne obligatoire pour se protéger de celui-ci.'"

11. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam Harun ibn Muslim, from al-Ahwal from, ibn Sinan who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that someone asked the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, about fasting on two Thursdays between which there is a Wednesday. He answered, ‘The two Thursdays are those during which deeds are presented for accounting. Wednesday is when hellfire was created, and fasting is a shield against the fire.’”

Le Messager de Dieu (que la paix et les bénédictions de Dieu soient sur lui et sa famille) a été interrogé au sujet du jeûne de deux jours, avec un jour intermédiaire entre eux, qui sont le jeudi et le mercredi. Il a répondu : Quant au jeudi, c'est le jour où les actions sont présentées, et quant au mercredi, c'est le jour où l'Enfer a été créé, et quant au jeûne, c'est une protection contre l'Enfer.

12. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa ibn ‘Ubayd from Yunus from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that there is fasting on Wednesday because for all nations upon which torment descended, it occurred on a Wednesday in the middle of the month. It is desirable to fast on that day.”

Le jour du mercredi est jeûné parce qu'aucune communauté n'a été châtiée dans le passé sauf le mercredi au milieu du mois. Il est recommandé de jeûner ce jour-là.

13. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Imran from Ziyad al-Qandiy from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, once said to me, ‘If there are two Thursdays in the beginning of a month, it is better to fast the first one. If two Thursdays come at the end of a month, it is better to fast the last Thursday.”’

"Quand les deux premiers jours du mois sont des jeudis, jeûne le premier d'entre eux car c'est meilleur. Et quand les deux derniers jours du mois sont des jeudis, jeûne le dernier d'entre eux car c'est meilleur."
