Abu Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet said: Allah, the Lord of honour and glory says: All other deeds of man are for himself, but his fasting is purely for Me and I shalt reward him for it. The fast is a shield. When any of you is fasting he should eschew loose talk and noisy exchanges. Should anyone revile him or seek to pick a quarrel with him, he should respond with: I am observing a fast. By Him in Whose hands is the life of Muhammad, the breath of one who is fasting is purer in the sight of Allah than the fragrance of musk. One who fasts experiences two joys: he is joyful when he breaks his fast, and he is joyful by virtue of his fast when he meets his Lord (Bokhari and Muslim). Bokhari adds: Allah says: He abstains from food and drink and from indulging his passion for My sake. A fast is undertaken for My sake and I shall bestow the reward for it. Other good works are rewarded only ten times. Muslim’s version adds: A man’s good works carry a multiple reward, from ten times to seven hundred times. Allah says: A fast is an exception, for it is observed for My sake and I shall bestow the reward for it. He who observes a fast gives up his passion and his food for My sake. For such a one there are two joys; a joy when he breaks his fast and a joy when he meets his Lord. His breath is purer in the estimation of Allah than the fragrance of musk.
Abu Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet said: If a person does not eschew falsehood and false conduct, Allah has no need that he should abstain from food and drink (Bokhari).
Abu Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet said: Should any of you eat or drink in forgetfulness of the fast, he should continue his fast till the end, for Allah has fed him and given him to drink (Bokhari and Muslim).
Laqit ibn Sabarah relates: I asked the Holy Prophet to inform me about the ablutions. He answered: Carry out the ablutions completely in all respects, and remember that you clean out the base of your fingers and wash out your nose well, but be careful in this last if you should be observing the fast (Abu Daud and Tirmidhi).
Ayesha relates: Should the Holy Prophet have consorted with a wife he would take a bath and start the fast (Bokhari and Muslim).
Ayesha and Umm Salamah relate: Should the Holy Prophet have consorted with a wife he would start and complete his fast as usual (Bokhari and Muslim).
Abu Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet said: The best month for fasting next after Ramadhan is Muharram, and the best Prayer next after the prescribed Prayers is Prayer at night (Muslim).
Ayesha relates: The Holy Prophet did not observe the voluntary fast so often in any month as in Sha‘ban for he observed the fast throughout Sha‘ban. One version has it: He observed the fast during the greater part of Sha‘ban (Bokhari and Muslim).
Ibn Abbas relates that the Holy Prophet said: There are no days during which righteous action is so pleasing to Allah as righteous action in these days (meaning the first ten days in Zil Hajj). He was asked: Messenger of Allah, not even striving in the cause of Allah? He answered: Not even striving in the cause of Allah except in the case of one who goes forth with his life and his property and does not come back with either (Bokhari).
Mujiba Bahiliyyah relates on the authority of her father or uncle that he visited the Holy Prophet and returned and visited him again after the interval of a year. In the meantime his appearance and condition had changed. When he came to him the second time he asked him: Messenger of Allah, do you recognise me? The Holy Prophet inquired: Who are you? He answered: I am the Bahili who visited you last year. The Holy Prophet said: You were quite handsome, what has altered you so much? He answered: Since I parted from you, I have not eaten except at night. The Holy Prophet observed: You have tormented yourself needlessly. You should observe the fast during Ramadhan and on one day in every other month. He urged: Permit me to do more for I am strong. The Holy Prophet said: Then observe the fast during two days in every month. He said: Permit me to do more. The Holy Prophet said: Observe the fast on three days in every month. He pleaded for more. The Holy Prophet said: During the four sacred months fast for three days and abstain from fasting for three days alternately (Abu Daud).
