Uthmān ibn Abī al-ʿĀṣ called for some milk for him to drink, but Muṭarrif said, I am fasting. Uthmān said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Fasting is a shield, like the shield of one of you in battle."
أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ دَعَا لَهُ بِلَبَنٍ لِيَسْقِيَهُ فَقَالَ مُطَرِّفٌ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «الصِّيَامُ جُنَّةٌ كَجُنَّةِ أَحَدِكُمْ مِنَ الْقِتَالِ».
