Hadith 3644
اُردوEn
عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ أَنَّ مُطَرِّفًا رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ الثَّقَفِيَّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ دَعَا لَهُ بِلَبَنٍ لِيَسْقِيَهُ، قَالَ مُطَرِّفٌ: إِنِّي صَائِمٌ، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((الصِّيَامُ جُنَّةٌ مِنَ النَّارِ كَجُنَّةِ أَحَدِكُمْ مِنَ الْقِتَالِ))
Saeed bin Abi Hind says: Mutarrif, a man from Banu Aamir, narrated that Sayyiduna Uthman bin Abi Al-Aas Thaqafi asked him to bring milk to drink, but Mutarrif said that he was fasting. So he (Uthman) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that fasting is a shield to protect from Hell, just as a man uses a shield in battle.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Fasting is a shield; through it, a servant is protected in this world from foul speech, obscene talk, sins, and other causes leading to Hell, and in the Hereafter from the punishment of the Fire. Fasting is a shield from Hell in such a way that desires (shahawat) surround Hell, and fasting fundamentally restrains one from desires themselves. In this manner, a Muslim, by means of fasting, remains distant from Hell.
