rewards, except that Allah, the Exalted,
grants him seven excellences: First, the
forbidden (nourishment) that had entered
into his body melts away. Second, he moves
closer to the Mercy of Allah, The Exalted.
Third, Allah expiates his sins; for do you not
know that expiations are covered with
fasting. Fourth, Allah reduces for him the
agony of death. Fifth, Allah protects him
from the hunger and thirst on the Day of
Judgment. Sixth, he is granted pardon from
the fire. Seventh, Allah feeds him from the
pleasant food of Paradise.
