1639. Mutarrif, from the tribe of Banu 'Amir bin Sa'sa'ah narrated that 'Uthmān bin Abul-'Ās Ath-Thaqafi invited him to drink some milk that he poured for him. Mutarrif said: "I am fasting." 'Uthmân said: "I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: Fasting is a shield against the Fire just like the shield of anyone of you against fighting.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

1639 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، أَنَّ مُطَرِّفًا، مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ الثَّقَفِيَّ دَعَا لَهُ بِلَبَنٍ يَسْقِيهِ، فَقَالَ: مُطَرِّفٌ: إِنِّي صَائِمٌ، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «الصِّيَامُ جُنَّةٌ مِنَ النَّارِ، كَجُنَّةِ أَحَدِكُمْ مِنَ الْقِتَالِ»

Commentary

If one is invited for eating and drinking, it is not necessary to break the voluntary fast to accept the invitation. Telling someone about one's own good deed for justifying something is not showing off.
