بَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مُحَمَّداً ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) رَحْمَةً لِلْعَالَمِينَ فِي سَبْعٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ مِنْ رَجَبٍ فَمَنْ صَامَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ صِيَامَ سِتِّينَ شَهْراً وَ فِي خَمْسَةٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ مِنْ ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ وُضِعَ الْبَيْتُ وَ هُوَ أَوَّلُ رَحْمَةٍ وُضِعَتْ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ فَجَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَثَابَةً لِلنَّاسِ وَ أَمْناً فَمَنْ صَامَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ صِيَامَ سِتِّينَ شَهْراً وَ فِي أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ وُلِدَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ خَلِيلُ الرَّحْمَنِ ( عليه السلام ) فَمَنْ صَامَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ صِيَامَ سِتِّينَ شَهْراً.


Translation

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from one of our companions, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> the 1<sup>st</sup> having said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Appointed Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> as a Mercy to the worlds during the 27<sup>th</sup> of Rajab. So the one who Fasts that day, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Write for him the Fasts of sixty months. And, during the twenty fifth of Zil-Qadah, the House (Kabah) was Placed, and it is the first Mercy Placed upon the face of the earth. Therefore, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Made it as a resort and a security for the people. So the one who Fasts that day, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Write for him the Fasts of sixty months; And during the first day of Zil-Hijjaj, Ibrahim<sup>as</sup> the Friend of the beneficent was born, so the one who Fasts that day, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Write for him the Fasts of sixty months’.
