Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq · Chapter on the Virtue of Fasting
وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ لِأَصْحَابِهِ: «أَ لاَ أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ إِنْ أَنْتُمْ فَعَلْتُمُوهُ تَبَاعَدَ اَلشَّيْطَانُ عَنْكُمْ كَمَا تَبَاعَدَ اَلْمَشْرِقُ مِنَ اَلْمَغْرِبِ» قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ قَالَ «اَلصَّوْمُ يُسَوِّدُ وَجْهَهُ وَ اَلصَّدَقَةُ تَكْسِرُ ظَهْرَهُ وَ اَلْحُبُّ فِي اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ اَلْمُؤَازَرَةُ عَلَى اَلْعَمَلِ اَلصَّالِحِ يَقْطَعُ دَابِرَهُ وَ اَلاِسْتِغْفَارُ يَقْطَعُ وَتِينَهُ وَ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ زَكَاةٌ وَ زَكَاةُ اَلْأَبْدَانِ اَلصِّيَامُ »
The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said to his companions: "Shall I not inform you of something that, if you do it, will cause Satan to be distanced from you as far as the east is from the west?" They said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah (swt)." The Prophet (saws) said: "Fasting blackens his face, charity breaks his back, love for the sake of Allah (swt), the Almighty, and mutual support in good deeds cut off his roots, and seeking forgiveness cuts off his aorta. For everything, there is a purification, and the purification of the body is fasting."
