Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ حَدَّثَنَا ضِرَارٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُرَّةَ أَبُو سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الصَّوْمَ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ إِنَّ لِلصَّائِمِ فَرْحَتَيْنِ إِذَا أَفْطَرَ فَرِحَ وَإِذَا لَقِيَ اللَّهَ فَجَزَاهُ فَرِحَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Fudayl told us, Dirar - meaning Ibn Murrah, Abu Sinan - told us, from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurayrah and Abu Sa'id, who both said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Allah, Mighty and Sublime, says: 'Fasting is for Me, and I reward it. The fasting person has two joys: when he breaks his fast, he rejoices, and when he meets Allah, He rewards him and he rejoices.' By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, the breath of the fasting person's mouth is more fragrant with Allah than the scent of musk."
