حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ الصِّيَامُ جُنَّةٌ، فَلاَ يَرْفُثْ وَلاَ يَجْهَلْ، وَإِنِ امْرُؤٌ قَاتَلَهُ أَوْ شَاتَمَهُ فَلْيَقُلْ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ. مَرَّتَيْنِ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ، يَتْرُكُ طَعَامَهُ وَشَرَابَهُ وَشَهْوَتَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي، الصِّيَامُ لِي، وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ، وَالْحَسَنَةُ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا ‏"‏.

Narrator: Abu Huraira

English translation
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
বাংলা অনুবাদ
আবূ হুরাইরাহ্ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ সিয়াম ঢাল স্বরূপ। সুতরাং অশ্লীলতা করবে না এবং মূর্খের মত কাজ করবে না। যদি কেউ তার সাথে ঝগড়া করতে চায়, তাকে গালি দেয়, তবে সে যেন দুই বার বলে, আমি সওম পালন করছি। ঐ সত্তার শপথ, যাঁর হাতে আমার প্রাণ, অবশ্যই সওম পালনকারীর মুখের গন্ধ আল্লাহর নিকট মিসকের সুগন্ধির চাইতেও উৎকৃষ্ট, সে আমার জন্য আহার, পান ও কামাচার পরিত্যাগ করে। সিয়াম আমারই জন্য। তাই এর পুরস্কার আমি নিজেই দান করব। আর প্রত্যেক নেক কাজের বিনিময় দশ গুণ। (১৯০৪, ৫৯২৭, ৭৪৯২, ৭৫৩৮, মুসলিম ১৩/২৯, হাঃ ১১৫১, আহমাদ ৭৩০৮) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ১৭৫৯, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
