Reward for fasting is up to Allah and its several other virtues

bukhari:1904Ibrāhīm b. Mūsá > Hishām b. Yūsuf > Ibn Jurayj > ʿAṭāʾ > Abū Ṣāliḥ al-Zayyāt > Abū Hurayrah

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah said, 'All the deeds of Adam's sons (people) are for them, except fasting which is for Me, and I will give the reward for it.'

"Fasting is a shield (protection from the Hellfire and from committing sins). If one of you is fasting, he should avoid sexual relation with his wife and quarreling, and if somebody should fight or quarrel with him, he should say: I am fasting."

"By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, the unpleasant smell coming out from the mouth of a fasting person is better in the sight of Allah than the smell of musk."

"There are two pleasures for the fasting person, one at the time of breaking his fast, and the other at the time when he will meet his Lord; then he will be pleased because of his fasting."  

البخاري:١٩٠٤حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ الزَّيَّاتِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ يَقُولُ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «قَالَ اللَّهُ: كُلُّ عَمَلِ ابْنِ آدَمَ لَهُ إِلاَّ الصِّيَامَ، فَإِنَّهُ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ۔»

«وَالصِّيَامُ جُنَّةٌ وَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ صَوْمِ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلاَ يَرْفُثْ وَلاَ يَصْخَبْ فَإِنْ سَابَّهُ أَحَدٌ أَوْ قَاتَلَهُ فَلْيَقُلْ إِنِّي امْرُؤٌ صَائِمٌ۔»

«وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ، لَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ لِلصَّائِمِ۔»

«فَرْحَتَانِ يَفْرَحُهُمَا إِذَا أَفْطَرَ فَرِحَ وَإِذَا لَقِيَ رَبَّهُ فَرِحَ بِصَوْمِهِ۔»

Allah the Exalted and Majestic said: Every act of the son of Adam is for him, except fasting. It is (exclusively) meant for Me and I (alone) will reward it. Fasting is a shield. When any one of you is fasting on a day, he should neither indulge in obscene language, nor raise the voice; or if anyone reviles him or tries to quarrel with him he should say: I am a person fasting. By Him, in Whose Hand is the life of Muhammad, the breath of the observer of fast is sweeter to Allah on the Day of judgment than the fragrance of musk. The one who fasts has two (occasions) of joy, one when he breaks the fast he is glad with the breaking of (the fast) and one when he meets his Lord he is glad with his fast.

Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, said: Fast (is exclusively) meant for Me and I would give its reward. There are two (occasions) of joy for the observer of fast. He feels joy when he breaks the fast and he is happy when he meets Allah. By Allah in Whose Hand is the life of Muhammad, the breath of the observer of fast is sweeter to Allah than the fragrance of musk.

bayhaqi:8310Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥāfiẓ And ʾAbū Muḥammad ʿAbdullāh b. Yūsuf al-Aṣbahānī > Abū ʿAbdullāh Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb b. Yūsuf al-Shaybānī al-Ḥāfiẓ > Ibrāhīm b. ʿAbdullāh al-Saʿdī > Rawḥ b. ʿUbādah > Ibn Jurayj > ʿAṭāʾ > Abū Ṣāliḥ al-Zayyāt > Abū Hurayrah

Allah the Exalted and Majestic said: Every act of the son of Adam is for him, except fasting. It is (exclusively) meant for Me and I (alone) will reward it. Fasting is a shield. When any one of you is fasting on a day, he should neither indulge in obscene language, nor raise the voice; or if anyone reviles him or tries to quarrel with him he should say: I am a person fasting. By Him, in Whose Hand is the life of Muhammad, the breath of the observer of fast is sweeter to Allah on the Day of judgment than the fragrance of musk. The one who fasts has two (occasions) of joy, one when he breaks the fast he is glad with the breaking of (the fast) and one when he meets his Lord he is glad with his fast. (Using translation from Muslim 1151d)

Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, said: Fast (is exclusively) meant for Me and I would give its reward. There are two (occasions) of joy for the observer of fast. He feels joy when he breaks the fast and he is happy when he meets Allah. By Allah in Whose Hand is the life of Muhammad, the breath of the observer of fast is sweeter to Allah than the fragrance of musk. (Using translation from Muslim 1151f)

"إِنَّ الله ﷻ يقولُ إِنَّ: الصومَ لِيَ، وَأنَا أجْزِى بِهِ. إِن

لِلصائم فَرْحَتَين إِذَا أفْطَرَ فَرِحَ، وَإذا لَقِيَ الله فجزاهُ فَرحَ، والذي نَفْسُ مُحَمدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَخُلُوفُ فَم الصائِم أطيَبُ عِنْدَ الله مِنْ ريحِ المِسْكِ".

"الصِّيامُ جُنَّةٌ، وإِذَا كَانَ أَحدُكُم صَائِمًا فَلَا يَرْفُثْ ولا يجْهَلْ، وإِنِ امْرُؤٌ قَاتَلَهُ أَوْ شَاتَمَه فَلْيقُلْ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ مرَّتِين، والَّذى نَفْسِى بِيدِهِ لَخُلُوفُ فَم الصَّائِم أَطْيبُ عِنْد الله مِنْ رِيح الْمِسْكِ، يتْرُكُ طَعامهُ وَشَرَابَهُ وَشَهْوَتَهُ مِنْ أَجْلى، الصِّيَامُ لي وَأَنَا أَجْزِى بِهِ، وَالْحسَنَةُ بِعَشْر أَمْثَالِهَا".

"قَال الله - ﷻ - كُل عَمَلَ ابْنِ آدَمَ لَهُ إِلا الصِّيَامُ فإِنهُ لِي وأنَا أجْزِى بِهِ، وَالصّيَامُ جُنةٌ، وإذا كَانَ يَوْم صَوْم أحَدكُم فَلَا يَرفثْ، وَلَا يَصخَبْ وإنْ سَابَهُ أحَدٌ أوُ قَاتَلَهُ فَليَقُلْ: إِنّى امرُؤ صَائِم، والذِى نَفْس محمد بيَدِهِ لَخُلوفُ فَم الصائِم أطيَبُ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ رِيح المِسْكِ، ولِلصّائِم فَرحَتَان يَفْرَحُهمَا: إِذَا أَفْطَرَ فَرِحَ بِفِطرِه، وإِذَا لَقِيَ ربَهُ فَرِحَ بصَوْمِهِ".
