Chapter on Reward of Fasting

And from him, from Ali ibn Ibrahim, from his father, from al-Nawfali, from al-Sakuni, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said: Imam عليه السلام said: “Whoever fasts much, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Mighty and Majestic, says to His سبحانه وتعالى angels, ‘My servant has sought refuge from My سبحانه وتعالى punishment, so grant him refuge.’ And Allah سبحانه وتعالى appoints His سبحانه وتعالى angels to supplicate for those who fast, and Allah سبحانه وتعالى has not commanded supplication for anyone except that Allah سبحانه وتعالى responds to them concerning him.”
