Prophet's saying On Ramadhan & Fasting #2

1) Gates of Paradise for women

Narrated by Anas ibn Malik (Radhiallaho anho):

Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "When a woman observes
the five times of prayer, fasts during Ramadan, preserves her chastity and
obeys her husband, she may enter by any of the gates of Paradise she wishes."


(Al-Tirmidhi 956, Abu Nu'aym transmitted it in al-Hilyah)

2) The superiority of observing fastin

Narrated by Abu Hurairah (Radhiallaho anho):
Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam)said, "Fasting is a shield (or
a screen or a shelter). So, the person observing fasting should avoid sexual
relation with his wife and should not behave foolishly and impudently, and if
somebody fights with him or abuses him, he should tell him twice, 'I am
fasting." The Prophet added, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, the smell
coming out from the mouth of a fasting person is better in the sight of Allah
than the smell of musk. (Allah says about the fasting person), 'He has left his
food, drink and desires for My sake. The fast is for Me. So I will reward (the
fasting person) for it and the reward of good deeds is multiplied ten times."


Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol. 3 : No. 118

3) Fasting on one's behalf

Narrated by Aisha (Radhiallaho anha):
Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam)said, "Whoever died and he
ought to have fasted (the missed days of Ramadan) then his guardians must fast
on his behalf."

Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol. 3 : No. 173

4) Giving up forged speech and evil acts

Narrated by Abu Hurairah (Radhiallaho anho):
Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam)said, "Whoever does not give up
forged speech and evil actions, Allah is not in need of his leaving his food
and drink (i.e. Allah will not accept his fasting.)"

Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol. 3 : No. 127
