Question:
Badr from al-Kharj says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah said:Sahih al-Bukhari 1904 Why did Allah single out the reward for fasting for Himself, Glorified and Exalted is He?
Answer:
Because of the greatness of fasting, and because no showing off (riya') enters into fasting. “It is for Me” means that no intention of showing off enters into it, as is the case with other deeds. It is a pure intention for Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Good deeds are multiplied tenfold, except for fasting, for there is no limit to its multiplication. Yes.
