Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty says: Every good deed of the son of Adam is for himself except fasting; it is especially for Me and I alone will give its reward. And fasting is a shield against sins. If any of you is fasting, he should neither use foul language nor raise his voice. If someone abuses him or wants to fight with him, he should simply reply: “I am a fasting person.” By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the smell from the mouth of a fasting person is better in the sight of Allah than the fragrance of musk. The fasting person has two joys: (one is) when he breaks his fast, he rejoices, and (the other is) when he meets his Lord, he will be happy with the reward of his fasting.
