17: (Note: The superscript-numbers [e.g., intention2] that appear in the text [in pink] refer to the numbers of the explanatory footnotes that appear at the end of each Hadith [Tradition].)
"Fasting is an armour with which one protects oneself; so let not him (who fasts) utter immodest (or foul) speech, nor let him act in an ignorant manner; and if a man quarrels with him or abuses him, he should say twice, I am fasting. And by Him in Whose hand is my soul, the odour of the mouth of one fasting is sweeter in the estimation of Allah than the odour of musk--he gives up his food and his drink and his (sexual) desire for My sake; fasting is for Me and I will grant its reward; and a virtue brings reward ten times like it." (B. 30 : 2.)
"He who does not give up uttering falsehood and acting according to it, Allah has no need of his giving up his food and his drink." (B. 30 : 8.)
"When the night comes on from there and the day departs on this side and the sun goes down, the one who is fasting should break the fast." (B. 30 : 43.)
"Have the meal before dawn, for there is blessing in the meal before dawn." (B. 30 : 20.)
I used to have my meal before dawn in my family, then I used to hasten to overtake the morning prayer with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be on him. (B. 9 : 27.)
We used to be on journey with the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be on him, and he who kept the fast did not find fault with him who broke it, nor did he who broke the fast find fault with him who kept it. (B. 30 : 37.)
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be on him, was on a journey, and he saw a crowd and a man who was placed under a shade. He said, "What is this?" Thy said, He is one fasting. He said: "There is no great virtue in fasting when on journey." (B. 30 : 36.)
One should break the fast on account of illness, whatever it may be, as Allah has said. And Hasan and Ibrahim said, concerning the woman who gives suck and the one with child, when they fear about themselves or their child, they should break the fast, then fast on other days. And as to the very old man when he cannot bear fasting -- Anas, after he became old, fed one who was needy, for a year or two daily with bread and meat, and broke the fast. (B. 65 : ii, 25.)
The menstruating woman has to fast afterwards, and she has not to perform any prayer (for the prayers omitted). (B. 30 : 41.)
I heard `A'ishah say, I used to be under obligation to fast on account of (the fasts omitted in) Ramadzan, and I was not able to perform this obligation except in Sha'ban.3 (B. 30 : 40.)
I was present at `Id with `Umar and he said, The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be on him, forbade fasting on these two days, the (`Id) day of your breaking the fast and the other (`Id) day on which you eat of your sacrifices. (B. 30 : 66.)
"When one forgets and eats and drinks, he should complete his fast, for Allah made him eat and drink." (B. 30 : 26.)
When a person vomits, he should not break the fast. (B. 30 : 32.)
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be on him, used to confine himself (to the mosque) in the last ten days of Ramadzan, and he would say : "Seek the Lailat al-Qadr in the last ten days of Ramadzan."4 (B. 32 : 3.)
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be on him, would cause his head to get to me while he was in the mosque, and I would comb his hair; and he did not enter the house when performing i`tikaf except for a need. (B. 33 : 3.)
