Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith 584 – Volume 9, Book 93

English

Volume 9, Book 93, Number 584:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Allah said: The Fast is for Me and I will give the reward for it, as he (the one
who observes the fast) leaves his sexual desire, food and drink for My Sake. Fasting is a screen (from
Hell) and there are two pleasures for a fasting person, one at the time of breaking his fast, and the
other at the time when he will meet his Lord. And the smell of the mouth of a fasting person is better
in Allah's Sight than the smell of musk." (See Hadith No. 128, Vol. 3).
