Riyad as-Salihin, 1340
Abu Umamah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He who observes Saum (fasting) for a day in the Cause of Allah, Allah will keep his face from Hell-fire at a distance equivalent to that between heaven and the earth." <b>[At- Tirmidhi]</b>.
وعن أبي أمامة، رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:
من صام يومًا في سبيل الله جعل الله بينه وبين النار خندقًا كما بين السماء والأرض
((رواه الترمذي وقال: حديث حسن صحيح)).

<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.
