Muhammad ibn Rumh al-Misri informed us; al-Layth ibn Sa‘d informed us, from Yazid ibn Abi Habib, from Sa‘id ibn Abi Hind, that Mutarrif, from Banu Amir ibn Sa‘sa‘ah, related to him that Uthman ibn Abi al-As al-Thaqafi called for milk to give him to drink. Mutarrif said, ‘I am fasting.’ Uthman said, ‘I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: “Fasting is a shield against the Fire, like one of your shields against combat.”’
