Virtues of Fasting:
· Fasting sincerely distant one from Hell
أَبِى سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِىِّ - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- مَا
مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَصُومُ يَوْمًا فِى سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ بَاعَدَ اللَّهُ
بِذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَجْهَهُ عَنِ النَّارِ سَبْعِينَ خَرِيفًا
Abu
Sa’eed Al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said ,” Allah’s
Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “ Any servant who
fasts one day in the path of Allah , Allah will keep his face away from
the fire for 70 years.”
[Collected by Bukhari 2840 and Muslim 2767]
· Fasting enters a person into Jannah
أَبِى أُمَامَةَ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقُلْتُ
مُرْنِى بِعَمَلٍ يُدْخِلُنِى الْجَنَّةَ. قَالَ « عَلَيْكَ بِالصَّوْمِ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ مِثْلَ لَهُ
Abu Ummamah said, “I went to the Allah’s messenger (peace and blessings
be upon him) and said: Command me with an action that will cause me to
enter Jannah.” He (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Fast, there
isn’t anything like it.”
[Collected by An-Nisa’ 2232 ]
· Whoever dies while fasting Allah will place him in Jannah
قال صلى الله عليه وسلم: يا حُذَيفَة مّنْ خَتَمَ لَه بِصِيامٍ يَومٍ يَرِيدُ بِهِ وجه الله أَدْخَلَهُ الجنة
The
Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘ Oh Huthayfah whoever
dies while fasting sincerely for Allah’s pleasure will enter Jannah.”
[Collected
by Ibn Shaheen 2/23 in Afrad , Akabr Al-Asbaahaan 1/218-219] Graded as
being Saheeh by Shaykh Al-Albani in Silsilatu Saheehah #1643]
· Fasting intercedes for the Slave on the Last Day
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم-
قَالَ « الصِّيَامُ وَالْقُرْآنُ يَشْفَعَانِ لِلْعَبْدِ يَوْمَ
الْقِيَامَةِ يَقُولُ الصِّيَامُ أَىْ رَبِّ مَنَعْتُهُ الطَّعَامَ
وَالشَّهَوَاتِ بِالنَّهَارِ فَشَفِّعْنِى فِيهِ.
وَيَقُولُ الْقُرْآنُ مَنَعْتُهُ النَّوْمَ بِاللَّيْلِ فَشَفِّعْنِى فِيهِ. قَالَ فَيُشَفَّعَانِ »
Abdullah
ibn Amr narrated that Allah’s messenger (peace and blessings be upon
him) said, “Fasting and the Quran will intercede for the servant of the
Day of Resurrection. Fasting will say “My Lord because of me he was
prohibited from food and satisfying his desires throughout the day, so
let me intercede for him. The Quran will say “I prevented him from
sleep at night, so let me intercede for him.” They will both be allowed
to intercede.
· There is a special reward unknown to man from Allah for fasting
أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ - رضى الله عنه - عَنِ النَّبِىِّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -
قَالَ « كُلُّ عَمَلِ ابْنِ آدَمَ لَهُ ، إِلاَّ الصَّوْمَ فَإِنَّهُ لِى
، وَأَنَا أَجْزِى بِهِ ، وَلَخَلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ
اللَّهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ
Abu
Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that Allah‘s
messenger (peace and blessing be upon him) said, “Allah says every deed
is for the son of Adam except Fasting. Fasting is for Me and I will
give the reward for it. The unpleasant smell coming out of the mouth of
a fasting person is better than the smell of misk in the sight of
Allah.”
[Collected Bukhari 5927 / Muslim 2760]
· There is a special door in Jannah for a fasting person to enter
عَنْ سَهْلٍ - رضى الله عنه - عَنِ النَّبِىِّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم - قَالَ «
إِنَّ فِى الْجَنَّةِ بَابًا يُقَالُ لَهُ الرَّيَّانُ ، يَدْخُلُ مِنْهُ
الصَّائِمُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، لاَ يَدْخُلُ مِنْهُ أَحَدٌ
غَيْرُهُمْ يُقَالُ أَيْنَ الصَّائِمُونَ فَيَقُومُونَ ، لاَ يَدْخُلُ
مِنْهُ أَحَدٌ غَيْرُهُمْ ، فَإِذَا دَخَلُوا أُغْلِقَ ، فَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ
مِنْهُ أَحَدٌ »
Sahl
(may Allah be pleased with him )narrated that Allah’s Prophet (peace
and blessings be upon him) said, “There is a gate in Paradise called
Ar-Rayyan and those who observe fasting will enter through it on the
Day of Resurrection. And only the people who fasted will enter it. It will
be said, “Where are those who used to fast?” They will stand up and
enter the gate and once they have entered it will be closed. No one
else will be allowed to enter.”
[Collected by Bukhari 1896/ Muslim 2766]
· Sincerely Fasting in Ramadan earns expiation from past sins
أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم : مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ
Abu
Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that Allah’s
messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “ Whoever fasts
Ramadan with faith and seeks Allah’s reward will have his past sins
forgiven.”
[Collected by Bukhari 38 / Muslim 1817]
· Fasting suppresses desires
النَّبِىِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم - قَالَ « مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ الْبَاءَةَ
فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ ، فَإِنَّهُ أَغَضُّ لِلْبَصَرِ وَأَحْصَنُ لِلْفَرْجِ ،
وَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَعَلَيْهِ بِالصَّوْمِ ، فَإِنَّهُ لَهُ وِجَاءٌ
The
Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,” Whoever has the
ability to marry then let him. Marriage helps one to lower his gaze and
protect his private part. And whoever doesn’t have the ability to get
married should fast. Fasting is a shield of protection.
[Collected by Bukhari 1905/ Muslim 3466]
