It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has said, "Every deed of the son of Adam is for him, except fasting; it is especially for Me, and I Myself will give its reward. Fasting is a shield. On the day when any of you is fasting, he should neither indulge in idle talk nor raise his voice. If someone abuses him or wants to fight with him, he should simply say, 'I am fasting' (twice). The fasting person experiences two moments of joy: when he breaks his fast, he is happy, and when he meets Allah, he will also be happy. By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the breath of the fasting person is more pleasant to Allah than the fragrance of musk."
