The Reward For Fasting is more than seven hundredfold by Realismailakabir: 11:04pm On Apr 15, 2021
Praise be to Allah.

It is proven in the hadith that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Every deed of the son of Adam will be multiplied between ten and seven hundred times. Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, said: Except fasting. It is for Me and I shall reward for it. He gives up his desires and his food for My sake.”

Narrated by Muslim (1151) 

In their commentaries on this hadith, the scholars stated that what this means is that the reward for fasting is multiplied more than seven hundredfold. We will quote here some of their many comments: 

Abu’l-Waleed al-Baaji (d. 474 AH – may Allah have mercy on him) said: 

The virtue of the multiple reward for fasting is that Allah attributed it to Himself, may He be exalted. This implies that it will be more than seven hundredfold.

End quote from al-Muntaqa Sharh al-Muwatta’ (2/74) 

Abu Haamid al-Ghazaali (d. 505 AH – may Allah have mercy on him) said: 

Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “Only those who are patient shall receive their rewards in full, without reckoning” [az-Zumar 39:10]. Fasting is half of patience, so its reward is beyond what one might estimate and give a figure for.

End quote from Ihya’ ‘Uloom ad-Deen 

...According to another hadith, the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Fasting is half of patience.” Narrated by at-Tirmidhi. 

Patience is of three types: patience in obeying Allah, patience in refraining from that which Allah has prohibited, and patience in accepting the decree of Allah when it is hurtful. All three types of patience are combined in fasting. End quote from Lataa’if al-Ma‘aarif by Ibn Rajab (p. 150) 

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (d. 1421 AH – may Allah have mercy on him) said:

 The reward for acts of worship is tenfold up to seven hundredfold, up to many times more, except fasting, for it is Allah Who will reward for it. What that means is that the reward for it is very great indeed. The scholars said that this is because fasting combines three types of patience, namely patience in obeying Allah, patience in refraining from disobeying Allah, and patience in accepting His decree. It is patience in obeying Allah because the individual is patient in doing this act of obedience. It is patience in refraining from disobeying Him because he avoids that which is prohibited for the fasting person. And it is patience in accepting the decree of Allah because the fasting person experiences the pain of thirst, hunger, tiredness and lack of energy. Hence fasting is one of the most sublime forms of patience, because it combines the three types of patience, and Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “Only those who are patient shall receive their rewards in full, without reckoning” [az-Zumar 39:10].

We ask Allah to grant us the rewards in multiples and more. Let's do it all for Allah's sake and none other.

Doing 'ibadah for the sake of any human attracts no reward.

Any hypocritic stunt to reduce crime is ok with me

Boko Haram, Fulani Terrorists, Bandits, Peadophilic grooms are currently on Ramadan break

We ask Allah to cure you of your Islamophobia and grant you peace of mind. Only Muslims are criminals in Nigeria and other Non-Muslims are Saints.

We ask Allah to guide us all to the path of Haneef, the way of Abraham Khaleelullah for he was not of those who join gods with Allah in worship.
