1624. Abū Umāmah [Al-Bāhilī] narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever fasts a day in the cause of Allāh, Allāh shall put between him and the Fire a trench whose distance is like that between the heavens and the earth." (Hasan) This Hadīth is Gharīb as a narration of Abū Umāmah.
١٦٢٤ - حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ جَمِيلٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيِّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ صَامَ يَوْمًا فِي سَبِيلِ» اللهِ جَعَلَ اللهُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ النَّارِ خَنْدَقًا كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ.

Some of the scholars take the expression "in the cause of Allāh" as used in the Hadīth to mean "in obedience to Allāh". However, the fact of the matter is that it means Jihād. (Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi, v.3, p.2).
