English translation

1894. Narrated Abū Hurairah: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Saum (fasting) is a shield (or a screen or a shelter from the Hell-fire(1)). So, the person observing Saum (fast) should avoid sexual relation with his wife and should not behave foolishly and impudently, and if somebody fights with him or abuses him, he should say to him twice, 'I am observing Saum (fast).'" The Prophet ﷺ added, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, the smell coming out from the mouth of a person observing Saum (fast) is better with Allāh تعالى than the smell of musk. (Allāh says about the fasting person), 'He has left his food, drink and sexual desires for My sake. The Saum (tast) is for Me.'(1) So I will reward (the fasting person) for it and the reward of good deeds is multiplied ten times.'

Arabic text

1894 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: " الصِّيَامُ جُنَّةٌ فَلاَ يَرْفُثْ وَلاَ يَجْهَلْ، وَإِنِ امْرُؤٌ قَاتَلَهُ أَوْ شَاتَمَهُ فَلْيَقُلْ: إِنِّي صَائِمٌ مَرَّتَيْنِ " «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى مِنْ رِيحِ المِسْكِ» «يَتْرُكُ طَعَامَهُ وَشَرَابَهُ وَشَهْوَتَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي الصِّيَامُ لِي، وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ وَالحَسَنَةُ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا»
