مَنْ لَمْ يَدَعْ قَوْلَ الزُّورِ وَالْعَمَلَ بِهِ فَلَيْسَ لِلَّهِ حَاجَةٌ فِي أَنْ يَدَعَ طَعَامَهُ وَشَرَابَهُ
Whoever does not give up forged speech and evil actions, Allah is not in need of his leaving his food and drink

What It Means: Reading in Context
Abu Huraira reports this warning about false speech and wrongdoing during a fast. The selected English contains the saying but omits the source translation’s final explanatory parenthesis, so it is labelled as an excerpt. This reminder does not tell a person who has sinned to abandon an obligatory fast. This entry comes from Sahih al-Bukhari 1903. The displayed text is an excerpt, not the complete narration. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.
REFLECTION · EDITORIAL
Pay attention to what you say and share while fasting. Correct a false statement and seek to repair any harm it caused.
This reflection is not Qur’an, hadith or an authoritative tafsir.
