[3]فرحه عند الإفطار لاشعاره بان المولى وفّقه لغلبة هواه و لعدم تزلزله في اتيان ما كلّف به و مجيئه مظفّرا من تلك الجهاد، و له فرح آخر و هو عند لقاء جزاء عمله بما فرض اللّه له.ص 75

Hadith.1774 - The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said to his companions: "Shall I not inform you of something that, if you do it, will cause Satan to be distanced from you as far as the east is from the west?" They said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah (swt)." The Prophet (sw) said: "Fasting blackens his face, charity breaks his back, love for the sake of Allah (swt), the Almighty, and mutual support in good deeds cut off his roots, and seeking forgiveness cuts off his aorta. For everything, there is a purification, and the purification of the body is fasting."
