Forty Hadiths On Ramadan

Hadith No. 02

Ramadan: The Name of God

Imam Sadiq (A.S.) has said: Say not, "This is Ramadan" and "Ramadan has departed" and "Ramadan has arrived" for surely, Ramadan is one of the names of Allah, The Mighty, the Glorious, who neither arrives nor departs. Surely, arrives and departs that, which is ephemeral, Instead say: "The month of Ramadan".Al-Kafi, 4, pg. 70
