It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Every deed of the son of Adam is for him. The reward of a good deed is given from ten times up to seven hundred times. Allah Almighty says: Except for fasting, it is for Me and I alone will give its reward. The fasting person leaves food for My sake. He leaves drinks for My sake, and he leaves his desires for My sake, and he leaves benefiting from his wife for My sake. And the smell from the mouth of the fasting person is better in the sight of Allah than the fragrance of musk. And for the fasting person there are two occasions of happiness: one happiness is when he breaks his fast, and the other happiness he will attain at the time of meeting his Lord."
