God Almighty said regarding himself, “There is nothing like him,” so he denied that he had a similarity, for He, Glory be to Him, has no equal with rational and legal significance. An-Nasa’i departed from Abu Umamah, saying, “I came to the Messenger of God.” May God’s prayers and peace be upon him, so I said, “Take me a command that I learn from you.” He said, “You must fast, for there is no equal to it.”

So if it is a day when one of you fasts, then he will not commit obscenities on that day, nor will he be arrogant.” If someone insults him or fights him, let him say, “I am a fasting person. Indeed, I am fasting.” By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, the breath of the mouth of a fasting person is better before God on the Day of Resurrection than the scent of musk.

Considering a restriction, not a restriction of exaltation, not absolute exaltation, which is due to My Majesty, so I said, “And I will reward it,” so it is true that the reward for fasting is for the fasting person if he turns to his Lord and meets him with a description that has no equal, which is fasting, since he does not see anything like him except one who is not like him such-and-such thing.
