Muwatta Malik #713
Fasting
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" الصِّيَامُ جُنَّةٌ فَإِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ صَائِمًا فَلاَ يَرْفُثْ وَلاَ يَجْهَلْ فَإِنِ امْرُؤٌ قَاتَلَهُ أَوْ شَاتَمَهُ فَلْيَقُلْ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ " .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z Zinad from al-A'raj
from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "Fasting is a protection for you, so when you
are fasting, do not behave obscenely or foolishly, and if any one
argues with you or abuses you, say, 'I am fasting. I am fasting.' "
