764. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Indeed your Lord said: 'Every good deed is rewarded with ten of the same up to seven hundred times over. Fasting is for Me, and I
shall reward for it.’ Fasting is a shield from the Fire. The smell coming from the mouth of one fasting is more pleasant to Allāh than the scent of musk. If one of you is abused by an ignorant person while fasting, then let him say: ‘Indeed I am fasting.’” (Saḥīḥ)
There are narrations on this topic from Mu’ādh bin Jabal, Saḥl bin [Sa’d], Ka’b bin ‘Ujrah, Salāmah bin Qaiṣar, Baṣhir bin Al-Khaṣāṣiyah, and Baṣhir’s name is Zaḥm bin Ma’bad, and Al-Khaṣāṣiyah is his mother.
Abū ‘Eisā said: The Ḥadīth of Abū Hurairah is Ḥasan Gharīb from this route.

Commentary
If someone incites a fasting person or ignites his sentiments and he wants the fasting person to do something against the Sharī‘ah, then:
The fasting person should say to him I am fasting, so I cannot do any act of ignorance like you;
Or the fasting person should remind himself that he is not going to spoil his fast by answering the ignorant with ignorance;
Or he should say this with both with the tongue and in his heart, or he should say it with the tongue if the fasting is obligatory and in his heart in case of voluntary fast; the truth is that according to the circumstances he should adopt such a way that he keeps himself away from indulging into the row of incitements and sentiments.
