Moses Fasts for Forty Days The days of restless wandering began. Each day ended where it began and began where it ended. They started walking to no destination, day and night, morning and evening. They entered Sinai. Moses came to the same place where he had spoke to Allah for the first time. He appealed to Allah for guidance in judging over his people. Allah instructed him to purify himself by fasting for thirty days, after which he was to go to Mount Sinai, where he would be given the law by which he would govern his people. The ancients said that after Moses fasted thirty days, he hated to speak to his Lord because of the odor of his mouth. He ate a plant of the earth and then his Lord said to him: Why did you break your fast? Moses said: O my Lord, I disliked to speak to You with my mouth not having a pleasant smell. Allah said: Do you not know, Moses, the odor of the fasters mouth is more fragrant to Me than the rose. Go back and fast ten days; then come back to Me. Moses did what Allah commanded.
