أَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَى مُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) مَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِنْ مُنَاجَاتِي فَقَالَ يَا رَبِّ أُجِلُّكَ عَنِ الْمُنَاجَاةِ لِخُلُوفِ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهِ يَا مُوسَى لَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدِي مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ .
Translation
Ali, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, altogether from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from one of our companions, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Might and Majestic Revealed unto Musa<sup>as</sup>: “What prevents you<sup>as</sup> from whispering to Me<sup>azwj</sup>?’ So he<sup>as</sup> said: ‘O Lord<sup>azwj</sup>! I<sup>as</sup> delayed from the whispering due to the smell of the mouth of a Fasting-one’. So Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto him<sup>as</sup>: “O Musa<sup>as</sup>! The smell of a mouth of a Fasting one is more aromatic in My<sup>azwj</sup> Presence than the smell of musk’.
