Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Harun ibn Muslim from Mas’adah ibn Sadaqah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about one who accepts Islam in the middle of the month of Ramadan would say that he is not obligated for anything of fasting except for the coming days.” ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (6/324))
