Chapter on the Etiquettes of the Fasting Person, What Invalidates the Fast, and What Does Not Invalidate it
وَ قَالَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ: «مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ صَائِمٍ يُشْتَمُ فَيَقُولُ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ سَلاَمٌ عَلَيْكَ لاَ أَشْتِمُكَ كَمَا تَشْتِمُنِي إِلاَّ قَالَ اَلرَّبُّ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى اِسْتَجَارَ عَبْدِي بِالصَّوْمِ مِنْ شَرِّ عَبْدِي قَدْ أَجَرْتُهُ مِنَ اَلنَّارِ.
The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) said: "If a fasting servant is insulted and responds by saying, 'I am fasting; peace be upon you. I will not insult you as you have insulted me,' the Lord عز وجل, Blessed and Exalted, says: 'My servant has sought refuge through fasting from the evil of My servant; I have granted him protection from the Fire.'"
