Hadith: Whoever fasts one day in the cause of Allah, Allah shall put between him and Hellfire a trench as wide as the distance between the heavens and the earth
عن أبي أمامة رضي الله عنه مرفوعاً: «من صام يوماً في سبيل الله جعل الله بينه وبين النار خَنْدَقًا كما بين السماء والأرض».
[حسن] - [رواه الترمذي]

Abu Umāmah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever fasts one day in the cause of Allah, Allah shall put between him and Hellfire a trench as wide as the distance between the heavens and the earth."
[Good hadith] - [Narrated by At-Termedhy]
This Hadīth demonstrates the virtue of fasting a day solely for the sake of Allah. The reward for this is that Allah saves the fasting person from Hellfire and keeps him away from it at a distance equal to that between the heavens and the earth.
