حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كُلُّ عَمَلِ ابْنِ آدَمَ يُضَاعَفُ الْحَسَنَةُ عَشَرَةُ أَمْثَالِهَا إِلَى سَبْعِ مِائَةِ ضِعْفٍ إِلَى مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَّا الصَّوْمَ فَإِنَّهُ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ يَدَعُ طَعَامَهُ وَشَرَابَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي وَلِلصَّائِمِ فَرْحَتَانِ فَرْحَةٌ حِينَ يُفْطِرُ وَفَرْحَةٌ عِنْدَ لِقَاءِ رَبِّهِ وَلَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ الصَّوْمُ جُنَّةٌ الصَّوْمُ جُنَّةٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو صَالِحٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ.
English Translation
Waki' told us: al-A'mash told us, from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurayrah — and Abd al-Rahman, from Sufyan, from al-A'mash, from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurayrah — who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Every deed of the son of Adam is multiplied, a good deed by ten times its like, up to seven hundred times, up to whatever Allah wills. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says: 'Except fasting, for it is Mine and I reward it Myself; he leaves his food and drink for My sake.' The fasting person has two joys: a joy when he breaks his fast, and a joy when he meets his Lord; and the odor of the fasting person's mouth is more pleasant to Allah, Mighty and Majestic, than the scent of musk. Fasting is a shield, fasting is a shield." Ibn Numayr told us: al-A'mash told us: Abu Salih told us: Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, and he mentioned its meaning.
