Hadith 2731844 - وَ رَوَى سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ اَلْمِنْقَرِيُّ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ اَلنَّخَعِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ لَمْ يَفْرِضِ اَللَّهُ صِيَامَهُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنَ اَلْأُمَمِ قَبْلَنَا» فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَقَوْلُ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ «يٰا أَيُّهَا اَلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ اَلصِّيٰامُ كَمٰا كُتِبَ عَلَى اَلَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ» قَالَ «إِنَّمَا فَرَضَ اَللَّهُ صِيَامَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ عَلَى اَلْأَنْبِيَاءِ دُونَ اَلْأُمَمِ فَفَضَّلَ بِهِ هَذِهِ اَلْأُمَّةَ وَ جَعَلَ صِيَامَهُ فَرْضاً عَلَى رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ».
Hadith.1844 - It is narrated by Sulayman ibn Dawood al-Minqari from Hafs ibn Ghayath al-Nakha‘i, who said:
"I heard Abu Abdullah (Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as)) say:
'Indeed, Allah (swt) did not make the fasting of the Month of Ramadan obligatory upon any nation before us.'
I said to him: 'Then what about the words of Allah (swt), the Almighty: "O you who believe, fasting has been prescribed upon you as it was prescribed upon those before you"?'
Imam (as) said: 'Allah (swt) made the fasting of the Month of Ramadan obligatory only upon the Prophets, not their nations. He favored this nation and made its fasting obligatory upon the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and upon his nation.'"
