Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymin said: "ALLĀH said concerning fasting: *'I shall reward him for it.'*
So HE connected the reward for fasting to HIMSELF, because the reward for righteous deeds is mentioned by number, and a good deed will be rewarded between 10 and 700 fold, many times. But with regard to fasting, ALLĀH connected the reward to HIMSELF without specifying any number. ALLĀH is the most generous of those who are generous, and the gift reflects the generosity of the giver. So the reward of the one who fasts will be very great, without reckoning. Fasting is:
1⃣ Patience in obeying ALLĀH,
2⃣ Patience in refraining from disobeying HIM,
3⃣ And patience in the face of painful decrees of ALLĀH, i.e., hunger, thirst and physical and spiritual exhaustion.
Fasting combines the three types of patience, and as a result, the fasting person becomes one of those who observe patience, and ALLĀH Almighty says:
*Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without limit.* {39:10}
