[Machine] Whichever part of the day you want to, whether it be the morning or the evening, I said: surely people detest it in the evening. He asked why, I said: They say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The smell of the fasting person's mouth is more pleasing to Allah than the scent of musk." He said, "Subhan Allah! The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded them to use the siwak when he commanded them, knowing that there must be something in the mouth of the fasting person that needs to be removed, even if it is perfectly clean. He did not command them to rinse their mouths diligently. There is no goodness in that, rather it is evil, except for the person who has been afflicted with a disease that does not allow him to do that." I said, "Is it the same for walking in the dust for the sake of Allah? Only the one who is forced to do it and does not find any other means of protection will be rewarded." He said, "Yes, as for the one who knowingly exposes himself to hardship, he will have no reward for that."
أَيَّ النَّهَارِ شِئْتَ إِنْ شِئْتَ غُدْوَةً وَإِنْ شِئْتَ عَشِيَّةً قُلْتُ فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ يَكْرَهُونَهُ عَشِيَّةً قَالَ وَلِمَ؟ قُلْتُ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللهِ مَنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ» فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ لَقَدْ أَمَرَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالسِّوَاكِ حِينَ أَمَرَهُمْ وَهُوَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لَا بُدَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ بِفَمِ الصَّائِمِ خُلُوفٌ وَإِنِ اسْتَاكَ وَمَا كَانَ بِالَّذِي يَأْمُرَهُمْ أَنْ يُنْتِنُوا أَفْوَاهَهُمْ عَمْدًا مَا فِي ذَلِكَ مَنَ الْخَيْرِ شَيْءٌ بَلْ فِيهِ شَرٌّ إِلَّا مَنِ ابْتُلِيَ بِبَلَاءٍ لَا يَجِدُ مَنهُ بُدًا قُلْتُ وَالْغُبَارُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَيْضًا كَذَلِكَ؟ إِنَّمَا يُؤْجَرُ فِيهِ مَنِ اضْطُرَّ إِلَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَجِدْ عَنْهُ مَحِيصًا؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ وَأَمَّا مَنْ أَلْقَى نَفْسَهُ فِي الْبَلَاءِ عَمْدًا فَمَا لَهُ مَنْ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَجْرٍ»
