Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Every slave of Allah who observes Saum (fasting) for a day in the Cause of Allah, Allah will keep his face from Hell-fire at a distance of seventy years." <b>[Al- Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
وعن أبي سعيد رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم :
ما من عبد يصوم يومًا في سبيل الله إلا باعد الله بذلك اليوم وجهه عن النار سبعين خريفًا

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) A person who fasts a day during Jihad shall attain a great reward, provided this does not undermine his physical strength and vigor in fighting.<br>
2) Performing acts of piety at times of hardship and psychological stress is a cause for multiplication of reward and distancing from Hellfire.
