It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When Ramadan comes, the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of the Fire are closed, and the devils are chained."

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is the month of Ramadan; it has come to you. In it, the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of the Fire are closed, and the devils are chained."

It is narrated from 'Urfaajah, he says: I was in a house where 'Utbah bin Farqad was also present. I wanted to narrate a hadith, but there was a Companion of the Messenger of Allah present there, and it seemed that he was more deserving than me to narrate the hadith. So he narrated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In Ramadan, the gates of the sky (and in another narration, the gates of Paradise) are opened and the gates of the Fire are closed, and every rebellious (and wicked and evil) devil is chained, and a proclaiming angel announces every night: O seeker of good! Come forward, and O seeker of evil! Stop."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him), he says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When Ramadan comes, then fast for thirty days, unless you see the moon earlier."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that food was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) while he was at the place of "Maraz-Zahran." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them): "Come near and eat." They said: "We are fasting." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Saddle the mounts for your companions and do work for them, come near and eat."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hamzah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about fasting while traveling. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Do whatever is easier for you."

Sayyiduna Hamzah bin Amr Al-Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) says: O Messenger of Allah! I have the strength to fast while traveling, (if I do so) will there be any sin upon me? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied: "It is a concession from Allah, so whoever accepts it, it is good, and whoever wishes to fast, there is no sin upon him."

Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: Indeed, Sayyiduna Hamzah bin Amr Al-Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): O Messenger of Allah! I observe continuous fasting, so can I fast while traveling? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(It is up to you) if you wish, then fast, and if you wish, then leave it."

Abu Zubair narrates from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a man who was turning about restlessly. He asked about him. The companions said: O Messenger of Allah! He is fasting. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called him and ordered him to break his fast and said: "Is it not sufficient for you that you are in the company of the Messenger of Allah and on the path of Allah, that you also began to fast?"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would sometimes fast during travel and sometimes not, and (during travel for Zuhr, Asr, and Isha) he would perform two rak'ahs and would not perform more than two rak'ahs.
