Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنِ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ، يَقُولُ: عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِنَّمَا يَذَرُ شَهْوَتَهُ وَطَعَامَهُ وَشَرَابَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي، فَالصَّوْمُ لِي، وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ (١) ، كُلُّ حَسَنَةٍ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا إِلَى سَبْعِ مِائَةِ ضِعْفٍ، إِلَّا الصِّيَامَ فَهُوَ لِي، وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ " (٢)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: By Him in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (ﷺ), the breath of the 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, so fasting is for Me and I Myself will give its reward, and apart from fasting, the reward of every good deed is multiplied from ten to seven hundred times.
