89. We were told by Abu’l-Hasan, that he said: We were told by Ali bin Ahmad al-Tabari, that he said: We were told by Abu Sa’eed, that he said: We were told by Khirash, that he said: We were told by my master, Anas bin Malik, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: There are two joys for the one who fasts: a joy during his breaking of the fast; and a joy on the Day he will meet his Lord. With his joy during the breaking of his fast, he meant the joy of a Muslim with regards to attaining that day in the journal of his good deeds and virtuous acts, not that this joy of his is due to what is allowed to him of food at that time of his. Joy due to eating and the belly’s need is not among the honors of what the righteous are praised. As for his joy on the Day of the meeting with his Lord, Exalted and Glorious is He, it is due to what Allah will bestow upon him from the virtue of His grant, which none from among the people of the Resurrection will have the like of, except for those who did the same as his deed.
