Hadith text

Narrated Abu Huraira:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) 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 him twice, 'I am fasting." The Prophet (ﷺ) added, "By Him in Whose Hands 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

Abu Huraira (رضی اللہ عنہ) bataate hain: Allah ke Rasool ne farmaya: "Roza ek dhaal (ya parda ya panah) hai. Isliye roza rakhne wale ko apni biwi se humbistari nahi karni chahiye aur bewaqoofana ya be-adabi wala suluk nahi karna chahiye, aur agar koi usse lade ya usse gaali de, use do baar kehna chahiye: 'Main roze se hoon.'" Nabi ne joda: "Us zaat ki qasam jiske haath mein meri jaan hai, roza rakhne wale ke mun se aane wali khushbu Allah ke nazdeek mushk ki khushbu se behtar hai. (Allah roza rakhne wale ke baare mein kehta hai): 'Usne apna khana, paani aur khwahishen mere liye chhod diya. Roza mere liye hai. Isliye main isse (roza rakhne wale ko) ajr dunga, aur neik amalon ka ajr das guna badhaya jaata hai.'"
