Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. What is the meaning of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): “Whoever fasts Ramadan
With faith and seeking reward, Allah will forgive him whatايمانا واحتسابا غفر الله له ما
Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:853
with faith and seeking reward”? Please explain it clearly. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
With faith and seeking reward, and Allah knows best. Faith means belief; belief in the heart in the prescription of fasting and its obligation, and that it is a pillar of Islam. One fasts out of faith and belief in its obligation, and that it is obedience to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), unlike the hypocrites who fast and pray and perform deeds without faith. Rather, this is a matter of deception and showing off religion. And “seeking reward” means, and Allah knows best, calculating the reward and recompense; that is, he seeks thereby the reward from Allah and the recompense from Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and he believes in what Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has promised the fasting people. That is, he fasts Ramadan believing in the reward and recompense that Allah has promised, and he hopes for it with Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
