Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Fasting and the Qur'an will intercede for the servant on the Day of Resurrection. Fasting will say: 'O my Lord! I kept him from food and from fulfilling his desire, so accept my intercession for him!' The Qur'an will say: 'I kept him from sleeping at night, so accept my intercession for him!' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says: So both of them will intercede for him."
Ahmad and al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir recorded it. The narrators of al-Tabarani are the narrators of the Sahih.
