664. Narrated ‘Abdullaah bin Mas’ood (radhi Allaahu anhu) : The Prophet (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) said,

The Adhaan pronounced by Bilaal should not stop you from taking Sahoor, for the pronounces the Adhaan at night, so that the one offering the late night prayer (Tahajjud) from among you might hurry up, and the sleeping from amongst you might wake up. It does not mean that Al-Fajr (dawn) or As-Subhu (morning) has started.” Then he (the Prophet (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam)) pointed with his fingers and rised them up (towards the sky) and then lowered them (towards the earth) like this (Ibn Mas’ood imitates the gesture of the Prophet (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam)).

The Complete, Whole Body Fast

AbdurRahman.org

During a conference [four] years ago, we came across the statement of Shaikh Saleh Al-Ash-Shaikh (hafidhahullaah), who said:

“Our fasting should have an impact on our limbs.

Jabir ibn Abdullaah (radiallaahu ‘anhu) said:

When you fast, your hearing has to fast, your sight has to fast, your tongue has to fast. …And do not make your fasting day like your normal day.

This is the complete fast.”

As-Siyaam (fasting) is Junnah (protection or shield or a screen or a shelter from the Hell-fire)

AbdurRahman.org

706. Narrated Aboo Huraira (radhi Allaahu anhu):Allaah’s Messenger (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) said,

“As-Siyaam (fasting) is Junnah (protection or shield or a screen or a shelter from the Hell-fire). So, the person observing Saum should avoid sexual relation with his wife and should not behave foolishly and impudently, and if somebody fights with him or abuses him, he should say to him twice, ‘I am observing Saum.’ “

The Prophet (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) added,

“By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, the smell coming from the mouth of a person observing Saum is better with Allaah (Subhanahu wata’alaa) than the smell of musk. (Allaah says about the fasting person), ‘He has left his food, drink and desires for My sake. The Saum is for Me.(*) So I will reward (the fasting person) for it and the reward of good deeds is multiplied ten times.’ “

[Saheeh Al-Bukhaari, Hadeeth No. 118, Vol. 3]

(*) (H.706) Although all practices  of worshipping are for Allaah Alone, here Allaah  (Subhanahu wata’alaa) singles out Saum (fast), because Saum cannot be practised for the sake of showing off as nobody can know whether one is observing Saum or not, except Allaah. Therefore, fasting is a pure performance that cannat be blemished with hypocrisy. (Fath-ul-Baaree, Vol. 5, p. 10).
