وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ الْمُحَبَّرِ، ثَنَا زَايِدَةُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شِمْرِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ ؓ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
مَنْ صَامَ يَوْمًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ جَعَلَ اللهُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ النَّارِ خَنْدَقًا، عَرْضُهُ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ
