Imam Sajjad (a.s.) while bidding farewell to the Blessed month of Ramazan:
فنحن مُودّعوه وداعَ مَنْ عزّ فراقُه علينا، و غمّنا و أوحشنا انصرافُه عنّا، وَ لَزِمنا له الذّمامُ المحفوظ، وَ الحرمةُ المرعيّة، وَ الحقّ المقضيّ، فنحن قائلون: السلام عليك يا شهر الله الأكبر و يا عيد أوليائِه
“…We bid farewell to it with the farewell of one whose parting is painful for us, whose leaving fills us with grief and loneliness, to whom we held on to like a safety rope, an upheld honour and a discharged right. And we say:
Salutations be upon you, O the greatest month of Allah! O festival of His friends!”
