Hafsah bint Sīrīn said, “Fasting is a protection (similar to a protective covering), so long as the fasting person does not tear it (the covering) and it’s tearing is backbiting”...



عبد الرزاق عن هشام عن حفصة بنت-٧٨٩٥
سيرين عن أَبي العالية قال:
الصائم في عبادةٍ ما لم يَغْتَب أَحدًا، وإن كان
نائمأً على فراشه،

فكانت حفصة تقول: يا حبذا عبادةً وأَنا
نائمة على فراشي.

قال هشام: و قالت حفصة: الصيام جُنّة ما لم
يَخرقها صا حبها، و خرقها الغيبة.

7895- Abdur Razzaq [narrated] on the authority of Hishām [bin Hassān], on the authority of Hafsah bint Sīrīn, on the authority of Abil-Āliyah [Al-Barrā’], who said:

“The fasting person is in state of worship aslong as he does not backbite (i.e. eat the flesh of) anybody, and he is in this state of worship even if he is sleeping on his bed”.

Hafsah used to say:

“Oh how nice that would be, to be in a state of worship while I am sleeping on my bed”.

Hishām said: And Hafsah said,

“Fasting is a protection (similar to a protective covering), so long as the fasting person does not tear it (the covering) and it’s tearing is backbiting”.
