An Exclusive Gate for the Fasters to Enter Paradise

The Prophet of Allah (ṣ) has been quoted as saying:

إنَّ لِلْجَنَّةِ باباً يُدْعى الرَّيَّانُ لايَدْخُلُ مِنْهُ إلَّا الصَّائِمُونَ

“Paradise has a gate named Rayyān which belongs exclusively to the fasters to enter.”

In his commentary on this tradition, the Late al-Shaykh al-Ṣadūq writes the following in his book Ma‘ānī al-Akhbār:

The reason why this name has been used for this gate is that those who fast tolerate nothing harder than thirst. Therefore, when the people who fasted for Allah in this world enter Paradise through this gate, they will find that their thirst has been quenched in a way that they would never be thirsty again.

In other words, Rayyān is Allah’s exclusive reward which is granted in return for tolerating the thirst of this world while fasting; it is a gate which is invested with Allah’s forgiveness and pardon, and anyone who passes through it will be given immeasurable amounts of Divine forgiveness and pardon.
