Hadith.1816 - It is narrated by al-Hasan ibn Rashid from Abu Abdullah (Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as)), who said: I said: 'May I be your ransom, is there a festival for Muslims other than the two Eids?' Imam (as) said: 'Yes, O’ Hasan, and it is greater and more noble than them.' I said: 'What day is it?' Imam (as) said: 'It is the day on which Amir al-Mu'minin (as) was appointed as a guide for the people.' I said: 'May I be your ransom, which day is that?' Imam (as) said: 'The days revolve, and it is the 18th of Dhu al-Hijjah.' I said: 'May I be your ransom, what should we do on that day?' Imam (as) said: 'You should fast it, O’ Hasan, and increase your prayers upon Muhammad and his family (as). You should also declare your disassociation to Allah (swt), the Almighty, from those who wronged them and usurped their rights. Indeed, the Prophets (as) used to command their successors to designate the day on which the successor was appointed as a festival.' I said: 'What is the reward for fasting it for us?' Imam (as) said: 'The reward of fasting sixty months. Also, do not neglect fasting on the 27th of Rajab, for it is the day on which prophethood was bestowed upon Muhammad (sw) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), and its reward for you is like fasting sixty months.'"
