39 – Abu Khaythamah narrated to us; he said: Sufyan ibn ʿUyaynah narrated to us, from Abu al-Zinad, from al-Aʿraj, from Abu Hurayrah, in one transmission, who said: “When any of you begins a day in the state of fasting, let him neither use obscene language nor act ignorantly. Should someone insult him or attempt to fight him, he should simply say, ‘I am fasting, I am fasting.’”
