Question:
What is the authenticity of the hadith:
There are people who fast and get nothing from their fast except hungerرُبَّ صائمٍ ليس له من صيامه إلا الجوع
Sunan Ibn Majah 1690Hasan (Darussalam)
?

Answer:
I do not know its status, but it is narrated widely, and its meaning is correct, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said in an authentic hadith regarding this meaning. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) clarified that the one who fasts but does not control his fasting gets nothing but hunger and thirst—may Allah grant us well-being:
Whoever does not give up forged speech and evil actions and does not abandon foolishness, Allah is not in need of his leaving food and drinkمَن لم يدع قولَ الزور والعملَ به والجهلَ فليس لله حاجةٌ في أن يدع طعامَه وشرابه
Bulugh al-Maram 5:14
Al-Bukhari narrated it in "Sahih"—may Allah grant us well-being.
