Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ حَدَّثَنَا ضِرَارٌ وَهُوَ أَبُو سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ 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 - who is 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 says: 'Fasting is for Me, and I reward it. The one who fasts has two joys: when he breaks his fast he rejoices, and when he meets Allah and He rewards him he rejoices.' By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, the smell of the mouth of the one fasting is more pleasant to Allah than the scent of musk."
