Hadith 24

(The book) ‘Al Iqbal’, from the book ‘Al Mukhtasat Al Muntakhab Fi Amal Yawm Al Ashura’ –
‘He-asws said, ‘Then get ready for the Ziyaarah, so you start and wash’ – the Hadeeth’’. [35]
And he said, ‘We found in ‘Kitab Al Ibadaat’ –
‘From Prophet-saww having said: ‘One who comes across a month of Rajab, he should wash in its beginning, and its middle, and its end. He would come out from his sins (to be) like the day his mother had given birth to him’’. [36]
It is reported by Ibn Abu Qurra in the book ‘Amal Shahr Ramazan’, by his chain, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The washing is recommended in the first night of month of Ramazan, and night of middle of it (15th)’’. [37]
And I saw in the book ‘A’taqid’, it is a compilation of Abu Ja’far Bin Ahmad Al Qummi, ‘One who washes in the first night of a month of Ramazan in a flowing river and pours upon his head three handfuls of water, would be pure up to the next month of Ramazan’’. [38]
And from that book, the indicated to it, ‘From Al-Sadiq-asws: ‘One who loves for there not to be any itching for him, let him wash on the first night of a month of Ramazan, for the one who washes in the first night from a month of Ramazan, itching will not afflict him and he would be safe from it up to the next month of Ramazan’’. [39]
And from him, copying from the book ‘Al Agsaal’ of Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Ayyash, by his chain to, ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘When it was the first night of a month of Ramazan, Rasool-Allah‑saww stood up. He-saww praised Allah-azwj and extolled upon Him-azwj’ – up to he-asws said: ‘Until when it was beginning of the night of the tenth, he-saww stood up. He-saww praised Allah‑azwj and extolled upon Him-azwj, and said similar to that’. He-asws said: ‘And he-saww rolled up and tightened his-saww apron, and went out from his-saww house and secluded, and stayed awake the night, all of it; and he-saww would wash every night from it, between the two ‘Isha’s’’ – the Hadeeth’’. [40]
And from him, by his chain to Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Ali Bin Ibrahim Bin Hashim, from his father, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuni, ‘From Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws, from Amir Al-Momineen-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws, he-asws said: ‘One who washes on the first day of the year in flowing water, and pours upon his head thirty scoops, it would be a cure (medication) for his year’’. [41]
Explanation – First (day) of the year is possibly the first of Muharram, and first of the month of Ramazan due to the referral of the reports that it is beginning of the year.
