Hadith #380
Arabic Text
وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ يَقُولُ إِنَّمَا يَذَرُ شَهْوَتَهُ وَطَعَامَهُ وَشَرَابَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي فَالصَّوْمُ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ مِنْ كُلِّ حَسَنَةٍ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا إِلَى سَبْعِ مِائَةِ ضِعْفٍ إِلَّا الصِّيَامَ فَهُوَ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ
English Translation
With the same chain, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, the breath of a fasting person is more pleasant to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, than the scent of musk. He says: 'He leaves his desires, his food, and his drink for My sake. Fasting is for Me, and I shall reward for it.' Every good deed is rewarded tenfold up to seven hundred fold, except fasting, for it is for Me, and I shall reward for it."
