How is fasting Ramadan and six days of Shawwal like fasting the entire year?

Question : When it is said that every good deed done by the sons of Adam is rewarded tenfold, except for fasting, this indicates that the ruling on fasting is different. So, a good deed is not like twenty, let alone how can we say that if one fasts Ramadan and then follows it with the six days of Shawwal, it is as if he fasted the entire year, because a good deed is rewarded tenfold?

Answer : No, the scholars said that the estimation is in terms of the extra reward. That is, why was it made like fasting the month? As for the reward of the fasting itself, it remains as it is. For example, if a person fasts one day, his reward is not like the reward of three days. But these six days and thirty days become as if they were twelve months, and he is given the reward of twelve months without any prior payment.
