The Superiority of As-Saum (the fasting): Sahih Al Bukhari

Today's walk of hope ...
Chpt 31 #919.  Narrated Abu Huraira (RAA):

"Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said, Saum (fasting) is a shield  from the Hell-fire."

"So, the person observing fast should avoid sexual relation with his wife and should not behave foolishly and impudently, and if somebody fights with him or abuses him, he should say to him twice, 'I am fasting'.

The Prophet (pbuh) added,"By Him in whose hand my soul is, the smell coming out of the mouth of a person observing fast is better with Allah (swt) than the smell of musk."

Allah says about the fasting person: 'He has left his food, drink and desires for My sake.  The fast is for Me.  So I will reward the fasting person for it and the reward of good deeds is multiplied ten times." [3:118-O.B.]
