حدثنا أبو الحسن ، قال: حدثنا علي بن أحمد الطبري، قال: حدثنا أبو سعيد قال: حدثني خراش مولى أنس بن مالك، قال: حدثنا مولاي أنس بن مالك قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: الصوم جنة - يعني حجاب - من النار. وإنما قال ذلك لان الصوم نسك باطن ليس فيه نزعة شيطان ولا مرايات إنسان.
88.	We were told by Abu’l-Hasan, that he said: We were told by Ali bin Ahmad al-Tabari, that he said: We were told by Abu Sa’eed, that he said: I was told by Khirash, the servant of Anas bin Malik, that he said: We were told by my master, Anas bin Malik, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: Fasting is a Garden – meaning a veil – from the Fire. He only said that because fasting is an internal devoutness in whom there is no incitement to evil by Shaytan, nor any means of ostentation before another human being.
