• An-Nawawi said: This Hadīth denotes the merit of fasting and the honor bestowed upon those who fast.
• Allah has designated a special gate among the eight gates of Paradise for those who fast, which will be closed after they enter.
• Clarifying the fact that Paradise has gates.
• As-Sindi said: His statement (where are those who fast) refers to those who frequently observe fasting, like the just person and the oppressor; it is said for those who are accustomed to this, not for someone who does so only once.
• (Ar-Rayyān) means "the one that quenches thirst," because those who fast often experience thirst, especially during the long, hot days of the summer. So as a reward for them, this gate is called by something unique to them, the Gate of Ar-Rayyān. It is also said that Ar-Rayyān is derived from the form "fa‘lān", indicating abundance in quenching, the opposite of thirst. It was named to reward those who endure thirst and hunger during fasting.
