Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ ذَكْوَانَ عَنِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ كُلُّ حَسَنَةٍ يَعْمَلُهَا ابْنُ آدَمَ عَشْرُ حَسَنَاتٍ إِلَى سَبْعِ مِائَةِ حَسَنَةٍ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَّا الصَّوْمَ هُوَ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ يَدَعُ الطَّعَامَ مِنْ أَجْلِي وَالشَّرَابَ مِنْ أَجْلِي وَشَهْوَتَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي فَهُوَ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ وَالصَّوْمُ جُنَّةٌ وَلِلصَّائِمِ فَرْحَتَانِ فَرْحَةٌ حِينَ يُفْطِرُ وَفَرْحَةٌ حِينَ يَلْقَى رَبَّهُ وَلَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ حِينَ يَخْلُفُ مِنْ الطَّعَامِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far told us: Shu'bah told us, from Sulayman, from Dhakwan, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: "Every good deed that the son of Adam does is multiplied into ten good deeds up to seven hundred good deeds. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says: 'Except fasting, it is Mine and I reward it Myself; he leaves food for My sake, drink for My sake, and his desire for My sake — it is for Me, and I reward it.' Fasting is a shield. 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, when it changes due to fasting, is more pleasant to Allah than the scent of musk."
