Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq · Chapter on the Reason for the Obligation of Fasting
وَ كَتَبَ حَمْزَةُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: لِمَ فَرَضَ اَللَّهُ اَلصَّوْمَ فَوَرَدَ فِي اَلْجَوَابِ «لِيَجِدَ اَلْغَنِيُّ مَسَّ اَلْجُوعِ فَيَمُنَّ عَلَى اَلْفَقِيرِ.
Hamza ibn Muhammad wrote to Abu Muhammad (a.s) asking: "Why did Allah (swt) make fasting obligatory?" The response came (from Imam (a.s)): "So that the rich may feel the pain of hunger and thus show generosity to the poor."
