“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?’”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 7, Hadith 112
