  1. Nabi (Alaihis Salaam) said: “The smell coming out of the mouth of a fasting person is more loved by Allah Ta’ala than the fragrance of musk.”
  2. The interpretation of this Hadeeth is that on the Day of Qiyaamat the person who fasted in this world will receive for the smell which came out of his/her mouth due to fasting, a fragrance which will be more wonderful than the fragrance of musk.
  3. That fragrance will be loved by Allah.
  4. The smell was the means of attaining the fragrance.
  5. Hence, Allah Ta’ala loves the smell more than musk.
  6. The purport of the Hadeeth is not that you should keep your mouth smelling by not rinsing your mouth and not use the miswaak.
