عَوْفُ بْنُ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ ، عَنْ
مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ :
" لَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ " . قَالَ : قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ :
" عَبْدِي تَرَكَ شَهْوَتَهُ وَطَعَامَهُ وَشَرَابَهُ ، ابْتِغَاءَ مَرْضَاتِي ، وَالصَّوْمُ 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: The breath of the fasting person is more pleasant to Allah than the fragrance of musk. Allah Almighty says: Fasting is especially for Me, and I Myself will give its reward. My servant leaves his desires and food and drink for My pleasure.
