Chapter 8: Fasting
Mutarrif, from the tribe of Banu ‘Amir bin Sa’sa’ah narrated
that
‘Uthman bin Abul-‘As Ath-Thaqafi invited him to drink some
milk that
he poured for him. Mutarrif said: “I am fasting.”
‘Uthman said: “I
heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘Fasting
is a shield against
the Fire just like the shield of anyone of you
against fighting.’”
Sunan Ibn Majah 1639
