That is why God Almighty told us in the hadith narrated from him that fasting is for him, and every deed of the son of Adam is for the son of Adam. He says that abstaining from food, drink, and sexual intercourse is for me, not for you, O my servant, because I am the one who is standing by myself. I do not lack in my existence a guardian to protect it over me, and you lack in your existence a guardian to protect it over you, which is I have provided you with food and made you poor in it, to alert you that I am the one who preserves your presence, so that your poverty may be corrected .
