اَلسَّلاَمْ عَلَيْــــــــــــــــــــكُمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللّٰه وَبَرَكَاتُهُ ◉••﷽••◉ 3 Ramadhan 1444 25 March 2023 Saturday يوم السبت
Hadhrat Abu Hurayrah رضى الله تعالى عنه narrates that رسول الله صلى الله تعالى عليه وسلم Said:
I take an oath by that Being (ALLAH TA’ALA), in whose control is the life of Muhammed (صلى الله تعالى عليه وسلم), that the smell that emanates from the mouth of a fasting person, is more fragrant to ALLAH TA’ALA, than the fragrance of musk.
(Bukhari/Muslim)
There are various interpretations for the above.
1. The smell is more fragrant to ALLAH TA’ALA, than the smell of musk is to another person.
2. Just as a person is attracted to fragrance, and draws it closer to him, ALLAH TA’ALA draws a fasting person close to Him.
3. A fasting persons reward in the hereafter, will be superior to the smell of musk.
4. In the hereafter, ALLAH TA’ALA will reward a person to such an extent that his breath will be more fragrant than musk.
5. His fragrance is worthy of greater reward than that of musk.
