Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq · Chapter on the Virtue of Fasting
وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلْعَزِيزِ: «أَ لاَ أُخْبِرُكَ بِأَصْلِ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ وَ فَرْعِهِ وَ ذِرْوَتِهِ وَ سَنَامِهِ» قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ «أَصْلُهُ اَلصَّلاَةُ وَ فَرْعُهُ اَلزَّكَاةُ وَ ذِرْوَتُهُ وَ سَنَامُهُ اَلْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَ لاَ أُخْبِرُكَ بِأَبْوَابِ اَلْخَيْرِ اَلصَّوْمُ جُنَّةٌ مِنَ اَلنَّارِ ».
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) said to Ali ibn Abdul Aziz: "Shall I not inform you about the foundation of Islam, its branch, its pinnacle, and its peak?" He said: "Yes." The Imam (a.s) said: "Its foundation is prayer, its branch is almsgiving, and its pinnacle and peak are striving in the way of Allah (swt), the Almighty. Shall I not inform you about the gateways to goodness? Fasting is a shield from the Fire."
