| IN THE NAME OF "ALLAH"
English Translation of HADITH Reported Ishaq Bin Nasar, from Abdur Razzaq, from Ibn Juraij, narrated Yahya Bin Saeed and Sohail Ibn Abu Saleh and they reported from An-No'man Ibn Abu Ayyash reported from Abu Sa'id Al Khudri (Radi Allahu Taala Anhum Ajmaeen), reported Allah's Messenger (PBUH) as saying: "When any servant of Allah who observes fast for a day in the way of Allah, Allah would remove, because of this day, his face farther from the Fire (of Hell) to the extent of seventy years' distance." [Sahih Al-Bukhari & Sahih Al-Muslim] Commentary: We can understand from the above Hadith, which highlights that for the person who is fasting sincerely in the way of Allah SWT, there are two moments of happiness and rejoicing for him i.e. "When he breaks his fast he is happy with his breakfast [i.e., that Allah has blessed him with the grace of having completed such an act of worship, as well as the freedom to enjoy what he has been abstaining from]", and "when he meets his Lord, he is happy with his fast". Because, fasting becomes an intercessor for the worshipper on the day of Judgment. He (The FAST) says: "Oh Lord I restrained him from food and from his desires during the day so allow me to intercede on his behalf." Moreover, his FAST will also become a shield and a fortified fortress (That protects) him from the Hell-Fire. Thus, [As a reward for] he who fasts one day for the sake of Allah SWT, Allah SWT distances that person's face from the Hell-Fire=70 autumns, i.e. a distance which would take 70 years to traverse. In another authentic narrations The Prophet (PBUH) said: "He who fasts a day with complete sincerity, solely seeking Allaah's pleasure and gratification, and dies with this deed as his last action, goes to Heaven". (Musnad Ahmad 5/391, and in Sahih Al-Targheeb 1/412.) | |||
