Narrated Abu Huraira (Radhiallaho anho):
Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu'alaihi wasallam) said,


"Fasting is a shield (or a screen or a shelter). So, the person observing fasting should avoid sexual relation with his wife and should not behave foolishly and impudently, and if somebody fights with him or abuses him, he should tell himtwice, 'I am fasting." The Prophet added, "By Him in WhoseHands my soul is, the smell coming out from the mouth of a fasting person is better in the sight of Allah than the smell of musk. (Allah says about the fasting person), 'He has left his food, drink and desires for My sake. The fast is for Me. So I will reward (the fasting person) for it and the reward of good deeds is multiplied ten times." Bukhari Vol. 3 : No. 118

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radhiallaho anho): The Prophet (sallallaahu'alaihi wasallam) said, "Whoever does not give up forged speech and evil actions, Allah is not in need of his leaving his food and drink (i.e. Allah will not accept his fasting.)" Bukhari Vol. 3 : No. 127


Narrated Sahl (Radhiallaho anho):The Prophet(sallallaahu'alaihi wasallam) said, "There is a gate in Paradise called Ar-Raiyan, and those who observe fasts will enter through it on the Day of Resurrection and none except them will enter through it. It will be said, 'Where are those who used to observe fasts?' They will get up,and none except them will enter through it. After their entry the gate will be closed and nobody will enter through it." Bukhari Vol. 3 : No. 120

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radhiallaho anho):Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu'alaihi wasallam) said, "Whoever gives two kinds (of things or property) in charity for Allah's Cause, will be called from the gates of Paradise and will be addressed, 'O slaves of Allah! Here is prosperity.' So, whoever was amongst the people who used to offer their prayers, will be called from the gate of the prayer; and whoever was amongst the people who used to participate in Jihad, will be called from the gate of Jihad; and whoever was amongst those who used to observe fasts, will be called from the gate of Ar-Raiyan; whoever was amongst those who used to give in charity, will be called from the gate of charity." Abu Bakr (Radhiallaho anho) said, "Let my parents be sacrificed for you, O Allah's Messenger! No distress or need will befall him who will be called from those gates. Will there be any one who will be called from all these gates?" The Prophet replied, "Yes, and I hope you will be one of them." Bukhari Vol. 3 : No. 121
