حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُثْمَانَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْقُرَشِيُّ الْهَرَوِيُّ فِي الرَّوْضَةِ قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَلِيٍّ الرَّفَّاءِ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَخْبَرَكُمْ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ثنا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ اللهُ الصَّوْمُ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ يَدَعُ شَهْوَتَه�� وَأَكْلَهُ وَشُرْبَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي وَالصَّوْمُ جُنَّةٌ وَلِلصَّائِمِ فَرْحَتَانِ فَرْحَةٌ حِينَ يُفْطِرُ وَفَرْحَةٌ حِينَ يَلْقَى اللهَ وَلَخُلُوفُ فِيهِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أَبِي نُعَيْمٍ
English Translation
Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'Allah says: Fasting is for Me and I will reward for it. He leaves his desires, his food, and his drink for My sake. Fasting is a shield. The fasting person has two joys: a joy when he breaks his fast, and a joy when he meets Allah. And his breath is more pleasant to Allah than the scent of musk.' Al-Bukhari narrated it in his Sahih from Abu Nu'aym.
