28-39 Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn Ishaq al-Taleqani narrated that Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Sa’eed al-Hamadani quoted on the authority of Ali ibn Al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn Fadhdhal, on the authority of his father, on theauthority of Ali ibn Musa Al-Ridha (s) that, “Paradise is assured for whoever fasts on the first day of the (Arabic) month of Rajab hoping to be rewarded by the Honorable the Exalted God.

The intercession of whoever fasts on one of the middle days of that month on behalf of as many people as there are in the Rabee’a and Modhar tribes will be accepted. God will make whoever fasts on the last day of that month one of the kings in Paradise. Also God will accept his intercession on behalf of his father, mother, son, daughter, sister, paternal uncle, paternal aunt, maternal uncle, maternal aunt, friends and neighbors, even if some of them deserve the Fire.”
