7. Ṣawm (Fasting)
٧۔ كتاب الصيام
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us and we brought food for him. Some of those who were with him were fasting, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘If food is eaten in the presence of one who is fasting, the angels send blessing upon him.’”
أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَرَّبْنَا إِلَيْهِ طَعَامًا فَكَانَ بَعْضُ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ صَائِمًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الصَّائِمُ إِذَا أُكِلَ عِنْدَهُ الطَّعَامُ صَلَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Bilal: ‘Come and eat, O Bilal.’ He said: ‘I am fasting.’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘We are eating our provision, but most of Bilal’s provision is in Paradise. Do you realise, O Bilal, that the bones of the fasting person glorify Allah and the angels pray for forgiveness for him so long as food is eaten in front of him?’”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِبِلاَلٍ الْغَدَاءُ يَا بِلاَلُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَأْكُلُ أَرْزَاقَنَا وَفَضْلُ رِزْقِ بِلاَلٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَشَعَرْتَ يَا بِلاَلُ أَنَّ الصَّائِمَ تُسَبِّحُ عِظَامُهُ وَتَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ مَا أُكِلَ عِنْدَهُ
