Al-Kafi 3551

Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Yahya Bin Ibrahim Bin Abu Al Balad, from his father, from Ali Bin Al Mugheira, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan^asws, said, ‘I said to him^asws, ‘My father asked your^asws grandfather^asws about completing the (whole) Quran during every night. So your^asws grandfather^asws said to him: ‘Every night?’ So he said to him^asws, ‘In a Month of Ramazan’. So your^asws grandfather^asws said to him: ‘In a Month of Ramazan?’ So my father said to him^asws, ‘Yes, whatever capacity (I have)’. It was so that my father used to complete it, forty completions in a Month of Ramazan. Then I was completing it after my father. So sometimes I would exceed and sometimes I would be deficient, based upon a measurement of my free time, and my occupation, and my activity and my laziness. So whenever it was the day of (Eid) Al-Fitr, I would make one completion to be for Rasool-Allah^saww, and another one for Ali^asws, and another for Syeda Fatima^asws, then another for the Imams^asws until I would end up with you^asws. Thus, I have rendered one (completion) to be for you^asws since I came to be in this state. So which thing would be for me due to that?’ He^asws said: ‘For you, due to that, is that you would happen to be with them^asws on the Day of Judgment’. I said, ‘Allah^azwj is the Greatest! So, for me would be that?’ He^asws said: ‘Yes’, three times’.
