Chapter: What was narrated concerning the virtues of fasting

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّى، حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ لِبِلاَلٍ ‏”‏ الْغَدَاءُ يَا بِلاَلُ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏”‏ نَأْكُلُ أَرْزَاقَنَا وَفَضْلُ رِزْقِ بِلاَلٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَشَعَرْتَ يَا بِلاَلُ أَنَّ الصَّائِمَ تُسَبِّحُ عِظَامُهُ وَتَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ مَا أُكِلَ عِنْدَهُ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

It was
narrated from Sulaiman bin Buraidah that his father said: “The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to Bilal: ‘Come and eat, O Bilal.’
He
said: ‘I am fasting.’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘We
are
eating our provision, but most of Bilal’s provision is in
Paradise. Do
you realise, O Bilal, that the bones of the fasting
person glorify
Allah and the angels pray for forgiveness for him so
long as food is
eaten in front of him?’”
