The Excellence of Ramadan: A Shield, A Savior
1795. It is related from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Fasting is a shield, so people should not have sexual relations nor act stupidly. If someone fights them or insults them, they should say, 'I am fasting' twice. By the One in whose hand my self is, the changed breath in the mouth of the faster is more fragrant to Allah Almighty than the scent of musk. [He says], 'He has left his food and drink and appetites for My sake. Fasting is Mine and I repay it. Any other good deed I repay with ten like it.'" (Muwatta, Book 18, 57)
Ar-Rayyan (Gate of Heaven) Shall Open For Those Who Fast
1797. It is related from Sahl that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "There is a gate in the Garden called ar-Rayyan which those who fast will enter on the Day of Rising, and none but they will enter it." It will be said, 'Where are the fasters?' They will stand up and none but they will enter it. When they have entered it, it will be closed and no one else will enter it."
