Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When the month of Ramadan comes, the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are chained." Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Abu Suhail is the uncle of Sayyiduna Malik bin Anas (may Allah be pleased with him).
