"The Prophet said: 'Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, says: Fasting is for me I shall reward for it. The fasting person has two moments of joy: When he breaks his fast and when he meets his Lord. By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, the smell that comes from the mouth of the fasting person is better before Allah than the fragrance of musk." ' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2213)  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ يَقُولُ الصَّوْمُ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ لِلصَّائِمِ فَرْحَتَانِ إِذَا أَفْطَرَ فَرِحَ وَإِذَا لَقِيَ اللهَ فَجَزَاهُ فَرَح وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ  

"(Allah says) fasting is for me and I shall reward for it. The fasting person rejoices twice: when he breaks his fast and the day when he meets his Lord. And the smell that come from the mouth of the fasting person is better before Allah than the fragrance of musk." ' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2214)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَ اللهُ الصِّيَامُ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ وَالصَّائِمُ يُفْرَحُ مَرَّتَيْنِ عِنْدَ فِطْرِهِ وَيَوْمَ يَلْقَى اللهَ وَلَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ  

"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)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَا مِنْ حَسَنَةٍ يَعْمَلُهَا ابْنُ آدَمَ إِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُ عَشْرُ حَسَنَاتٍ إِلَى سَبْعِمِائَةِ ضِعْفٍ قَالَ اللهُ إِلَّا الصِّيَامَ فَإِنَّهُ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ يَدَعُ شَهْوَتَهُ وَطَعَامَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي الصِّيَامُ جُنَّةٌ وَلِلصَّائِمِ فَرْحَتَانِ فَرْحَةٌ عِنْدَ فِطْرِهِ وَفَرْحَةٌ عِنْدَ لِقَاءِ رَبِّهِ وَلَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ  

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 or protection from the fire 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." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1904)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ اللهُ كُلُّ عَمَلِ ابْنِ آدَمَ لَهُ إِلَّا الصِّيَامَ هُوَ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ وَالصِّيَامُ جُنَّةٌ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ صِيَامِ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلَا يَرْفُثْ وَلَا يَصْخَبْ فَإِنْ شَاتَمَهُ أَحَدٌ أَوْ قَاتَلَهُ فَلْيَقُلْ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ لِلصَّائِمِ فَرْحَتَانِ يَفْرَحُهُمَا إِذَا أَفْطَرَ فَرِحَ بِفِطْرِهِ وَإِذَا لَقِيَ رَبَّهُ فَرِحَ بِصَوْمِهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah said, 'Every deed of the son of Adam is for himself, except for fasting. It is for Me and I will reward it. Fasting is a shield, so if one of you is fasting, let him not indulge in obscene language or raise his voice in anger. If someone insults him or fights with him, let him say, 'I am fasting.' By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, the smell coming from the mouth of a fasting person is more pleasant to Allah than the fragrance of musk.' " Abu 'Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Mubarak said, "Indeed, the status of fasting with us is greater and higher than that of Hajj. The hadith of Hajj is more reliable to us. In the time of Ibn al-Mubarak, we do not know of a person more reliable than him or higher in rank than him in every commendable trait. However, mistakes are inevitable." 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi, who was trying to absolve himself from error, said, "Who does not make mistakes? Correctness is like a speck of dust in the wind, while error is thick like molasses." This hadith has also been narrated by Abu Huraira and Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ اللهُ كُلُّ عَمَلِ ابْنِ آدَمَ لَهُ إِلَّا الصِّيَامَ هُوَ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ الصِّيَامُ جُنَّةٌ فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ صَوْمِ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلَا يَرْفُثْ وَلَا يَصْخَبْ فَإِنْ شَاتَمَهُ أَحَدٌ أَوْ قَاتَلَهُ فَلْيَقُلْ إِنِّي امْرُؤٌ صَائِمٌ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَخُلُوفُ فَيِّ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ أَجَلُّ وَأَعْلَى عِنْدَنَا مِنْ حَجَّاجٍ وَحَدِيثُ حَجَّاجٍ أَوْلَى بِالصَّوَابِ عِنْدَنَا وَلَا نَعْلَمُ فِي عَصْرِ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ رَجُلًا أَجَلَّ مِنِ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ وَلَا أَعْلَى مِنْهُ وَلَا أَجْمَعَ لِكُلِّ خَصْلَةٍ مَحْمُودَةٍ مِنْهُ وَلَكِنْ لَا بُدَّ مِنَ الْغَلَطِ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ الَّذِي يُبَرِّئُ نَفْسَهُ مِنَ الْخَطَأِ مَجْنُونٌ وَمَنْ لَا يَغْلَطُ؟ وَالصَّوَابُ ذَكْوَانُ الزَّيَّاتُ لَا عَطَاءٌ الزَّيَّاتُ وَقَدْ رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ  

Allah, the Majestic and the Exalted, said: Every act of the son of Adam is for him except fasting. It is done for My sake, and I will give a reward for it. 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 1151b)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللهُ كُلُّ عَمَلِ ابْنِ آدَمَ لَهُ إِلَّا الصِّيَامُ هُوَ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَخُلْفَةُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ who said that Allah said: "Every good deed that the son of Adam performs, he will receive ten times its reward, except for fasting, which is for Me and I will reward it accordingly."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَ اللهُ كُلُّ حَسَنَةٍ يَعْمَلُهَا ابْنُ آدَمَ فَلَهُ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا إِلَّا الصِّيَامَ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ
