 Allah's Apostle said, "Fasting is a shield (or a screen or a shelter).       So, the person observing fasting should avoid sexual relation with his       wife and should not behave foolishly and impudently, and if somebody        fights with him or abuses him, he should tell him twice, 'I am        fasting." The Prophet added, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, the        smell coming out from the mouth of a fasting person is better in the        sight of Allah than the smell of musk. (Allah says about the fasting        person), 'He has left his food, drink and desires for My sake. The        fast is for Me. So I will reward (the fasting person) for it and the        reward of good deeds is multiplied ten times."
