[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "By the One in whose hand is my soul, the scent of the fasting person's mouth is more pleasant to Allah than the scent of musk. He says, 'The fasting person abstains from their desires, food, and drink for My sake. Fasting is for Me and I will reward it accordingly, with every good deed being multiplied ten times to seven hundred times, except for fasting, which is for Me and I will reward it.'"

Reward for fasting is up to Allah for the servant restrains himself from his bodily desires

bukhari:1894ʿAbdullāh b. Maslamah > Mālik > Abū al-Zinād > al-Aʿraj > Abū Hurayrah

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Fasting is a shield (or a screen or a shelter). So, the person observing fasting should avoid sexual relation with his wife and should not behave foolishly and impudently, and if somebody fights with him or abuses him, he should tell him twice, 'I am fasting."

The Prophet ﷺ added, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, the smell coming out from the mouth of a fasting person is better in the sight of Allah than the smell of musk. (Allah says about the fasting person), 'He has left his food, drink and desires for My sake. The fast is for Me. So I will reward (the fasting person) for it and the reward of good deeds is multiplied ten times."  

البخاري:١٨٩٤حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «الصِّيَامُ جُنَّةٌ: فَلاَ يَرْفُثْ، وَلاَ يَجْهَلْ؛ وَإِنِ امْرُؤٌ قَاتَلَهُ أَوْ شَاتَمَهُ فَلْيَقُلْ: إِنِّي صَائِمٌ مَرَّتَيْنِ۔»

«وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ: يَتْرُكُ طَعَامَهُ، وَشَرَابَهُ، وَشَهْوَتَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي؛ الصِّيَامُ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ وَالْحَسَنَةُ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا۔»  

Reward for fasting is far greater than other good deeds

muslim:1151e[Chain 1] Abū Bakr b. Abū Shaybah > Abū Muʿāwiyah And Wakīʿ > al-Aʿmash [Chain 2] Zuhayr b. Ḥarb > Jarīr > al-Aʿmash [Chain 3] Abū Saʿīd al-Ashaj > Wakīʿ > al-Aʿmash > Abū Ṣāliḥ > Abū Hurayrah > Qāl

Every (good) deed of the son of Adam would be multiplied, a good deed receiving a tenfold to seven hundredfold reward. Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, has said: With the exception of fasting, for it is done for Me and I will give a reward for it, for one abandons his passion and food for My sake.

There are two occasions of joy for one who fasts, joy when he breaks it, and joy when he meets his Lord, and the breath (of an observer of fast) is sweeter to Allah than the fragrance of musk.

"There is no good deed that the son of Adam does, but between ten and seven hundred Hasanahs will be recorded for him. Allah, the mighty and sublime, said: 'Except fasing, for it is for me and I shall reward for it. He gives up his desires and his food for my sake. Fasting is a shield, and the fasting person has two moments of joy. One when he breaks his fast and another when he meets his Lord. And the smell that comes from the mouth of the fasting person is better before Allah than the fragrance of musk." '

ahmad:10540Yazīd > Muḥammad > Abū Salamah > Abū Hurayrah

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah said, 'Every action of the son of Adam is for him, except fasting. It is for Me and I shall reward for it. He leaves his food, drink, and desires for My sake. Fasting is for Me and I shall reward for it accordingly.'"  

أحمد:١٠٥٤٠حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ كُلُّ عَمَلِ ابْنِ آدَمَ لَهُ فَالْحَسَنَةُ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا إِلَى سَبْعِ مِائَةِ ضِعْفٍإِلَّا الصِّيَامَ هُوَ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ يَتْرُكُ الطَّعَامَ لِشَهْوَتِهِ مِنْ أَجْلِى وَيَتْرُكُ الشَّرَابَ لِشَهْوَتِهِ مِنْ أَجْلِى هُوَ لِى وَأَنَا أَجْزِى بِهِ  

ahmad:10218Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar > Shuʿbah > Sulaymān > Dhakwān > Abū Hurayrah

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ who said, "Every good deed that the son of Adam performs will be multiplied ten times, up to seven hundred times, except for fasting, which is for Me and I will reward for it. He abandons his food, drink, and desires for My sake, so it is for Me and I will reward for it. Fasting is a shield, and for the one who fasts there are two moments of joy: a moment of joy when he breaks his fast and a moment of joy when he meets his Lord. Indeed, the bad breath of the one who fasts, while he is fasting, is more pleasant to Allah than the scent of musk."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ كُلُّ حَسَنَةٍ يَعْمَلُهَا ابْنُ آدَمَ عَشْرُ حَسَنَاتٍ إِلَى سَبْعِ مِائَةِ حَسَنَةٍ يَقُولُ اللهُ ﷻ إِلَّا الصَّوْمَ هُوَ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ يَدَعُ الطَّعَامَ مِنْ أَجْلِي وَالشَّرَابَ مِنْ أَجْلِي وَشَهْوَتَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي فَهُوَ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ وَالصَّوْمُ جُنَّةٌ وَلِلصَّائِمِ فَرْحَتَانِ فَرْحَةٌ حِينَ يُفْطِرُ وَفَرْحَةٌ حِينَ يَلْقَى رَبَّهُ وَلَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ حِينَ يَخْلُفُ عَنِ الطَّعَامِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ  

darimi:1811Yazīd > Muḥammad b. ʿAmr > Abū Salamah > Abū Hurayrah

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Allah, the Most High, says: 'Every action of the son of Adam is for him, except fasting. It is for Me and I shall reward for it. Verily, he gives up his desires and food for My sake.' The fasting person has two moments of joy: one when he breaks his fast and another when he meets his Lord. Indeed, the smell coming from the mouth of a fasting person is better in the sight of Allah than the smell of musk."

ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ خُلُوفَ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ قَدْ يَكُونُ أَيْضًا أَطْيَبَ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ فِي الدُّنْيَا

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "Every good deed that the son of Adam performs will be multiplied ten times up to seven hundred times, except for fasting. It is for Me and I will reward it. He gives up his desires and his food and drink for My sake. The fasting person has two moments of joy: one when he breaks his fast and the other when he meets his Lord. The smell from the mouth of a fasting person is purer to Allah than the scent of musk."

[Machine] "Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ said that Allah Almighty narrates: 'Fasting is a shield by which My servant protects himself from the Fire, and fasting is for Me, and I will reward for it. The person fasting gives up their food and desires for My sake. By the One in whose hand is my soul, the smell emanating from the mouth of a fasting person is more pleasant to Allah on the Day of Resurrection than the fragrance of musk.'"

"There is no good deed that the son of Adam does, but between ten and seven hundred Hasanahs will be recorded for him. Allah, the mighty and sublime, said: 'Except fasing, for it is for me and I shall reward for it. He gives up his desires and his food for my sake. Fasting is a shield, and the fasting person has two moments of joy. One when he breaks his fast and another when he meets his Lord. And the smell that comes from the mouth of the fasting person is better before Allah than the fragrance of musk." ' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2215)
