Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that Bilal entered upon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) while they were having lunch. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Come and eat, O Bilal." Bilal said, "I am fasting, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You are eating our provision, and Bilal’s extra provision is in Paradise. Do you not know, O Bilal, that the bones of a fasting person glorify Allah, and the angels seek forgiveness for them as long as others eat in their presence?"

[Narrated by Al-Bayhaqi in Shu’ab al-Iman]
