Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا هَوْذَةُ حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفُ بْنُ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ 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.
English Translation
Hawdhah narrated to us, 'Awf ibn Abi Jamilah narrated to us, from Muhammad, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet (peace be upon him) who said: "The changed breath of the fasting person is more pleasant to Allah than the fragrance of musk. Your Lord the Almighty said: 'My servant has left his desires, his food, and his drink seeking My pleasure. Fasting is for Me, and I shall reward for it.'"
