أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ , قََالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ،
لَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ " .
" يَذَرُ طَعَامَهُ وَشَرَابَهُ وَشَهْوَتَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي , فَالصِّيَامُ لِي , وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ , كُلُّ حَسَنَةٍ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا إِلَى سَبْعِ مِائَةِ ضِعْفٍ , إِلَّا الصِّيَامَ , فَهُوَ لِي ، وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: By Him in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the breath of a fasting person is more pleasant to Allah than the fragrance of musk. Allah Almighty says: My servant leaves his food, drink, and desires for My sake; therefore, fasting is for Me, and I Myself will give its reward. And apart from fasting, the reward for every good deed is from ten to seven hundred times.
