The hadith discusses fasting during Ramadan and its virtues according to Islamic teachings:
1) The Prophet Muhammad said that when the month of Ramadan begins, the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are closed, and devils are chained.
2) The Prophet said that whoever fasts for one day seeking Allah's pleasure, Allah will remove his face from Hellfire to a distance of 70 years.
3) Fasting is described as a "shield" that protects from Hellfire, and the smell from the mouth of a fasting person is better to Allah than musk perfume.
