Abū Muḥammad ʿAbdūs b. ʿAlī b. al-ʿAbbās al-Jurjānī narrated to us, saying that Abū’l-Qāsim ʿUbayd Allāh b. Yaʿqūb b. Yūsuf al-Rāzī narrated to him among others, saying that Muḥammad b. Yūnus al-Karīmī narrated to him among others, saying that Abū ʿĀmir narrated to him among others, saying that Zamʿa narrated to him among others, from Salama, from ʿIkrima, from Ibn ʿAbbās, who reports: “I heard the Messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وعلى آله saying: “Allāh عز وجل has said: “Other than fasting, which is for Me—and I shall reward him thus—every action of a son of Ādam is his, and fasting is the shield of the believing servant from the Fire, on the Day of Judgement, just as one of you protects himself with his weapon in the worldly life. For the odour that emanates from the mouth of the fasting person is more naturally good, in the sight of Allāh عز وجل, than the scent of musk! And verily, for the fasting person, are two joys—one for when he breaks his fast, feeding himself and drinking, and the other for when he meets Me, and I admit him into Heaven.”
