Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنِ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ الصِّيَامَ جُنَّةٌ فَإِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ صَائِمًا فَلَا يَرْفُثْ وَلَا يَجْهَلْ فَإِنْ امْرُؤٌ شَاتَمَهُ أَوْ قَاتَلَهُ فَلْيَقُلْ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ.
English Translation
Ishaq narrated to us, he said: Malik narrated to us, from Abu al-Zinad, from al-A'raj, from Abu Hurayrah, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Fasting is a shield. When one of you is fasting, let him not use obscene speech nor act ignorantly; and if a person reviles him or fights him, let him say, 'I am fasting.'"
