Do good deeds, Fast for God's sake

This hadith speaks about the rewards for good deeds that a person does. It is narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said that every good deed done by a person will be multiplied manifold, up to seven hundred times or more depending on what Allah wills. However, fasting has an even greater reward as it is done for the sake of Allah alone and He will reward it Himself. The joys experienced by a fasting person are twofold; one when they break their fast and another when they meet their Lord. Moreover, the smell coming from the mouth of a fasting person is better before Allah than even musk! This hadith teaches us to do good deeds in order to receive rewards from Allah and also encourages us to fast as it has great rewards with it.
