When the Prophet Adam (Alaihis Salam) played the fruit of the forbidden tree, it stayed in his stomach for thirty days. Therefore, Allah has made it obligatory for His children to keep hunger and thirst for thirty days.
الحسن (علیه السلام)- جَاءَ نَفَرٌ مِنَ الْیَهُودِ إِلَی رَسُولِ اللَّـهِ(صلی الله علیه و آله) فَسَأَلَهُ أَعْلَمُهُمْ عَنْ مَسَائِلَ فَکَانَ فِیمَا سَأَلَهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَهُ لِأَیِّ شَیْءٍ فَرَضَ اللَّـهُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ الصَّوْمَ عَلَی أُمَّتِکَ بِالنَّهَارِ ثَلَاثِینَ یَوْماً وَ فَرَضَ اللَّـهُ عَلَی الْأُمَمِ أَکْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِکَ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِیُّ (صلی الله علیه و آله): إِنَّ آدَمَ (علیه السلام) لَمَّا أَکَلَ مِنَ الشَّجَرَةِ بَقِیَ فِی بَطْنِهِ ثَلَاثِینَ یَوْماً فَفَرَضَ اللَّـهُ عَلَی ذُرِّیَّتِهِ ثَلَاثِینَ یَوْماً الْجُوعَ وَ الْعَطَشَ وَ الَّذِی یَأْکُلُونَهُ بِاللَّیْلِ تَفَضُّلٌ مِنَ اللَّـهِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ عَلَیْهِمْ وَ کَذَلِکَ کَانَ عَلَی آدَمَ (علیه السلام) فَفَرَضَ اللَّـهُ ذَلِکَ عَلَی أُمَّتِی ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآیَةَ کُتِبَ عَلَیْکُمُ الصِّیامُ کَما کُتِبَ عَلَی الَّذِینَ مِنْ قَبْلِکُمْ لَعَلَّکُمْ تَتَّقُونَ. أَیَّاماً مَعْدُوداتٍ قَالَ الْیَهُودِیُّ: صَدَقْتَ یَا مُحَمَّدُ (صلی الله علیه و آله)! فَمَا جَزَاءُ مَنْ صَامَهَا؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِیُّ (صلی الله علیه و آله): مَا مِنْ مُؤْمِنٍ یَصُومُ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ احْتِسَاباً إِلَّا أَوْجَبَ اللَّـهُ تَبَارَکَ وَ تَعَالَی لَهُ سَبْعَ خِصَالٍ أَوَّلُهَا یَذُوبُ الْحَرَامُ فِی جَسَدِهِ وَ الثَّانِیَةُ یَقْرُبُ مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّـهِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ وَ الثَّالِثَةُ یَکُونُ قَدْ کَفَّرَ خَطِیئَةَ آدَمَ أَبِیهِ (علیه السلام) وَ الرَّابِعَةُ یُهَوِّنُ اللَّـهُ عَلَیْهِ سَکَرَاتِ الْمَوْتِ وَ الْخَامِسَةُ أَمَانٌ مِنَ الْجُوعِ وَ الْعَطَشِ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَةِ وَ السَّادِسَةُ یُعْطِیهِ اللَّـهُ بَرَاءَةً مِنَ النَّارِ وَ السَّابِعَةُ یُطْعِمُهُ اللَّـهُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ مِنْ طَیِّبَاتِ الْجَنَّةِ. قَالَ: صَدَقْتَ یَا مُحَمَّدُ (صلی الله علیه و آله)

Narrated from Hazrat Hassan (Alaihis Salam):
A group of Jewish Prophet Karim (peace be upon him) approached him and asked him some questions. He was one of the questions:
"Fasting is obligatory for your Ummah a day, but it is more determined for other nations - what is the reason?"
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) replied:
"WhenWhen Adam (Alaihis Salam) played the fruit of the forbidden tree, it stayed in his stomach for thirty days. Therefore, Allah has made it obligatory for His children to keep hunger and thirst for thirty days.
However, the food they receive at night is grace from Allah. The same provision was for Adam (Alaihis Salam). So it has been determined for my Ummah too. ”
Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) recited this verseDid:
"Fasting is obligatory for you, as it was obligatory for your predecessors, so that you may achieve Taqwa. (Surah Al-Baqarah: 183-184)
Then the Jewish man said: "O Muhammad (peace be upon him), you have told the truth! So what is the reward of those who observe this fast?"
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“The person who believes in faithRamadan fasts in the hope of reward, Allah has set seven special prizes for him:
1️⃣ **Purification** – The haram within their body dissolves.
2️⃣ **Divine Nearness** – They step closer to Allah’s infinite mercy.
3️⃣ **Atonement** – Their fast erases the legacy of Adam’s mistake.
4️⃣ **Ease in Death** – The pangs of leaving this world are softened.
5️⃣ **Protection** – On Judgment Day, they’ll be shielded from hunger and thirst.
6️⃣ **Salvation** – A guarantee of safety from the Fire.
7️⃣ **Divine Nourishment** – They’ll feast from the fruits of Paradise
Then the Jewish man said: "O Muhammad (peace be upon him), you have told the truth!
