Arabic Text

‏ ‏وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ ‏ ‏مُحَمَّدٍ ‏ ‏بِيَدِهِ ‏ ‏لَخُلُوفُ ‏ ‏فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ ‏ ‏يَذَرُ ‏ ‏شَهْوَتَهُ وَطَعَامَهُ وَشَرَابَهُ مِنْ جَرَّايَ فَالصِّيَامُ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ ‏

English Translation

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, the breath of the fasting person is more pleasant to Allah than the fragrance of musk. He leaves his food, his drink, and his desires for My sake. Fasting is for Me, and I shall reward for it. A good deed is rewarded tenfold.'
