Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z Zinad from al-A'raj
from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "Fasting is a protection for you, so when you
are fasting, do not behave obscenely or foolishly, and if any one
argues with you or abuses you, say, 'I am fasting. I am fasting.' "
Muwatta Malik Book 18, Hadith 63

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'n Nadr, the mawla of Umar
ibn Ubaydullah, from Abu Salama ibn Abd ar-Rahman that A'isha, the
wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used
to fast for so long that we thought he would never stop fasting, and
he would go without fasting for so long that we thought he would never
fast again. I never saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, fast for a complete month except for Ramadan, and
I never saw him do more fasting in any one month than he did in
Shaban.'

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z Zinad from al-Araj from
Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "By the One in Whose hand my self is, the smell of
the breath of a man fasting is better with Allah than the scent of
musk.' He leaves his desires and his food and drink for My sake.
Fasting is for Me and I reward it. Every good action is rewarded by
ten times its kind, up to seven hundred times, except fasting, which
is for Me, and I reward it.' "
