              Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu

              From the book Forty Hadith Qudsi (selected and translated by Ezzeddin
              Ibrahim and Denys Johnson Davies)

              Hadith No. 10:

              On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) from
              the Prophet (may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), who
              said: Allah (mighty and sublime be He) says:

              Fasting is Mine and it is I who give reward for it. (A man) gives up
              his sexual passion, his food and his drink for My sake. Fasting is like a
              shield, and he who fasts has two joys: a joy when he breaks his fast
              and a joy when he meets his Lord. The change in the breath of the mouth
              of him who fasts is better in Allah's estimation than the smell of
              musk."

              [related by al-Bukhari ( also related by Muslim, Malik, at-Tirmidhi,
              an-Nisai and Ibn Majah)]
