Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Fast in the Month of Ramadhan Chapter 4 : Significance of the Month of Ramadhan and Its Fast On p. 64, Vol. 2, of Safeenat al-Rinw, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) is quoted saying that Allah Almighty has charged a group of His angels with the task of supplicating for those who observe the fast.
On the same page of the same reference, Imam Ja’fer al-Sadiq (as) is quoted saying that if a person fasts during a hot day, and he suffers from thirst, Allah will assign a thousand angels to wipe his face and convey to him glad tidings, and when he breaks his fast, Allah, the most Exalted, the most Glorified, addresses him with these words, "How sweet your smell and soul are! O My angels!
Bear witness that I have forgiven him." On page 96 of Thawab al-A’mal wa ‘Iqal al-A’mal, and also on page 48 of his book Al-Amali (or pp.
29-32 of old editions), Shaikh Abu Ja’fer Muhammad ibn Ali ibn al-Husain ibn Babawayh al-Qummi al-Saduq (306-381 A.H) quotes Muhammad Ibn Ibrahim al-Ma’athi saying that Ahmed ibn Jaylawayh al-Jurjani alMuthakkar] quotes Abu Ishaq Ibrahim ibn Bilal quoting Abu Muhammad quoting Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Kiram quoting Abmed ibn Abdullah quoting Sufyan ibn ‘Ayeenah quoting Mu’awiya ibn Abu Ishaq quoting Sa’eed ibn Jubayr saying, "I asked Ibn Abbas once about the reward of one who fasts during the month of Ramadhan knowing its greatness.
He said: ‘O Ibn Jubayr! Get ready to listen to what your ears have never heard before, nor your heart has ever experienced, nor your soul has ever reckoned regarding that about which you have inquired! What you are seeking is the knowledge of the first generations and the last!’ So I left him and prepared myself to meet him again. I returned to him at early daybreak.
Having said the fair prayers (together), I reminded him of he tradition which I had sought, so he turned his face to me and aid, ‘Listen carefully to what I am going to tell you. I have heard the Aessenger of Allah (pbuh) saying: ‘Had you ever come to know about your rewards during the month of Ramadhan, you would surely have thanked the Almighty a great deal more (than you usually do).
When the first night is over, Allah, the Almighty and the Exalted one forgives the sins committed by all members of my nation, the ones committed in secrecy and the ones committed in public, and He elevates your status two thousand degrees and builds you fifty towns in Paradise.
