Al-Kafi 6584

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Qasim Bin Yahya, from grandfather Al Hassan Bin Rashid, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws, said, ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^asws! Is there for the Muslims an Eid other than the two Eids?’ He^asws said: ‘Yes, O Hassan, one greater than these two and more noble’. I said, ‘And which day is it?’ He^asws said: ‘It is the day in which Amir Al-Momineen^asws was nominated as a flag for the people’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^asws! And what is befitting for us that we should be doing during it?’ He^asws said: ‘You should be Fasting it, O Hassan, and frequenting the Salawaat upon Muhammad^asws and the Progeny^asws of Muhammad^saww, and disavowing to Allah^azwj from the one who oppressed them, for the Prophets^as used to order the^as successors^as with the day in which the successor^as was nominated in, that they (the people) should be taking it as an Eid’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘So what is for the one who Fasts it?’ He^asws said: ‘The Fasts of sixty months; and do not leave the Fast of the twenty seventh of Rajab, for it is the day in which the Prophet-hood descended upon Muhammad^saww, and its Reward is like sixty months for you’.
