English translation
2219. Abû Hurairah said: “The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: ‘Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, said: Every deed of the son of Âdam is for him, except fasting; it is for Me and I shall reward for it. Fasting is a shield. If any one of you is observing a fast, let him not utter obscene talk or raise his voice in anger, and if anyone insults him or wants to fight, let him say: I am a person who is fasting. By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muḥammad, the smell coming from the mouth of the fasting person is better before Allâh than the fragrance of musk.’” (Sahīh) This Hadīth was narrated from Abû Hurairah by Sa’eed bin Al-Mūsāyyab.
