Shaykh
'Abdu-Razzāq al-Badr:
It is recommended for a fasting person to frequently
remember Allah while fasting so as to excel in his fasting.
In a Ḥadīth which some scholars deem authentic, the
Prophet ﷺ was asked about a number of religious observances; among which
was fasting. It was said to him: Which fasting person attains the most reward?
He ﷺ
replied: "Those who engage in the remembrance of Allah the most".
Imām Ibn
al-Qayyim, in his book al-Wābil-us-Sayyib, derived a beneficial principle from
this Ḥadīth
that pertains to all acts of worship: The person who attains the most reward in
any form of worship is he who engages in the remembrance of Allah the most while in that
worship.
