- (إن الله- عز وجل- يقول: إن الصوم لي، وانا اجزي به. إن للصائم فرحتين: إذا افطر فرح، وإذا لقي الله فجزاه فرح. والذي نفس محمد بيده! لخلوف فم الصائم اطيب عند الله من ريح المسك).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah and Sayyiduna Abu Sa‘id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with them), they say that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“Indeed, Allah Almighty says: Surely, fasting is for Me and I alone will give its reward. Without doubt, the fasting person has two joys: when he breaks his fast, he is happy, and when he meets Allah Almighty and He gives him his reward, he will be happy. By the One in Whose hand is my soul! The smell from the mouth of the fasting person is purer with Allah than the fragrance of musk.”

-" انا اتقاكم لله، واعلمكم بحدود الله".
Ata bin Yasar narrates from an Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Anas Ansari kissed his wife while fasting during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Then he said to his wife: Go and ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about this issue. She asked him, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "(There is no harm) The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) himself does this." She clarified the situation to her husband, but he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is sometimes given concessions in certain matters (which are not for ordinary believers), so go again and present my objection before him. She went again to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: My husband says that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is given permission for some things as a special case (but what about us)? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "I am the one among you who fears Allah the most and knows His limits the best."
