As-Salaam alaikum,
Muslim transmitted a Tradition from Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, in which the Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said :-- "When Ramadan comes, the gates of Jannah are opened and the gates of the Fire are locked and the Shayateen are chained up".
Al-Nisa'i added : "And a caller calls out every night, 'O seeker of good, hurry up! Seeker of evil, desist!"
About this, Sheikh Ibn Arabi, may Allah be pleased with him, in his book, the' Futuhat Makkiyyah ', observed that "when the gates of the Fire are locked (in Ramadan), it turns back on itself and its heat is multiplied on it and it consumes itself. The person fasting is like that with his nature. When he fasts, the gates of the fire of his nature are shut. He experiences more heat by the fast since moist things are not being utilized.
He feels the pain of that in his belly. His appetite for food is increased because he imagines that he will experience relief through it. Therefore the fire of his appetite is strengthened by locking the door to the reception of food and drink.
The Shayateen are chained.. they are the attribute of distance. The person fasting is near to God by the attribute of timeless self-reliance. He is involved in an act of worship which has no like, and by that, he is near to the attribute of the One about whom it is said : "There is not like Him anything." When you have this attribute, the Shayateen are chained for you. It is related in Tradition : "Satan flows in the son of Adam as blood flows, so block his canals by hunger and thirst", that is, these means are specified for him against Satan's desire for to be involved in excess. Excess means what is more. "
