WHAT YOU SHOULD NOT DO WHEN FASTING

1238

“Allah, the Mighty the Glorified says, ‘All the deeds of the son of Adam are for himself, but his fasting is for Me and I shall reward him for it. The fast is a shield. When any of you fasts he should forsake swearing and noise. If anyone is abusive or seeks to pick a quarrel with him, he should respond with: I am fasting.’

By Him in whose Hands is the life of Muhammad, the breath of one who is fasting is better with Allah than the fragrance of musk. Whosoever fasts experiences two joys: he is joyful when he breaks his fast, and he is joyful because of his fasting when he meets his Lord."

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
