Muhammad ibn Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Ibrahim ibn ‘Umar from ‘Amr ibn Shamir from Jabir who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘The Holy Prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, “When it is the first day of the month of Shawwal, an announcer announces, ‘O believers, come to receive your presents.”” He (the Imam) then said, ‘O Jabir, presents that Allah gives away are not like the presents the kings give away.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘That is the day of receiving presents.”’ ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (16/409))
