Some Virtues of Ramadan

Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said:
"The blessed month has come to you. Allah has made fasting during it obligatory upon you. During it, the gates to Paradise are opened and the gates to hellfire are locked, and the devils are chained. There is a night[during this month] which is better than a thousand months. Whoeveris deprived of its good is really deprived [of something great]." Related by Ahmad, an-Nasa'i, and al-Baihaqi.

Narrated by Ibn Abbas (R):
When Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) returned after performing his Hajj, he asked Um Sinan Al-Ansari, "What did forbid you to perform Hajj?"
