The exalted statement mentioned in the Hadith,فَاِنَّہ ٗ لِیْ وَاَنَا اَجْزِیْ بِہٖ ("for it is for Me, and I Myself shall bestow its reward"), is particularly noteworthy. Some scholars of Hadith رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ have read this phrase as اَنَا اُجْزیٰ بِہٖ, as noted in Tafsīr al-NaꜤīmī and other works. In this case, the meaning becomes: "I (Allah) am the reward for it". سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه ! This implies that through fasting, the believer attains nearness to Allah Almighty.[1]

The mother of the believers, Sayyidah ꜤĀˈishah al-Ṣiddīqah رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهَا, narrates that the noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:
