Bismillah wal Hamdulillah was Salatu was Salaam ala Rasoolillah ama Ba'd
Assalaamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh
Concerning the hadeeth narrated by Abu Hurairah(radiallahu ta'ala anhu): Allah's Messenger(sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)said, "When the month of Ramadan comes, the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of (Hell) Fire are closed, and the devils are chained." [taken from the english translation of Sahih al Bukhaari by Dar us Salaam hadeeth #3277.]
How is this hadeeth to be taken, literally or figuratively. For example does this mean that the devils are chained absolutely and are not able to cause mischief or does it just mean they are limited to the amount of mischief they can cause during Ramadan or is it a mixture of both i.e. they are chained but they can still cause mischief.
Could you please provide some words from the Salaf regarding this issue.
Barakallahu Feekum, May Allaah Bless us all to be Al-Muttaqoon as Allaah(subhana wata'ala) says in the Noble Qur'an:
O you who believe! Observing As-Saum (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqun
(2:183)
It is reported from ıAbdullah b. Masııd ı Allah be pleased with him ı that he said:
For every bidıah with which Islım is plotted against, Allah has a beloved worshipper (walı) who refutes and repels it and speaks about its signs, so take the full oppor

Wa alaykum salaam wa rahmutallaahi wa barakatuh,
Alhamdulillaah our noble brother Abu Khadijah al Jazaa'iree was able to go through this in his duroos at Masjid as Sunnah, Cranford on Sunday the 9th of August 2009.
This is a brief summary of what he explained from the chapter "Baab us-Siyaam" (Chapter of Fasting) from the book Minhaj as Saalikeen by Shakyh Abdur-Rahmaan bin Naasir as-Sa'di rahimuhullaah:
 | quote: |
As the Gates of Jannah are being opened at the same time the Gates of Jahannam are being closed.The Shayaateen are in levels, Iblis being at the top and then the Khabith next and the small shayateen. Iblis and the Khabith shayateen (May Allaahs Curse be upon them until The Hour), the maarid (sick ones) are locked up but the small shayateen are not locked up; hence why you see some small evil in Ramadhaan. The strong shayateen called maarid, they are also being locked up and chained in the month of Ramadhaan.

Inshaa'Allaah this is sufficient until someone else can bring more proof inshaa'Allaah.

assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullah
When our noble shaykh Ubayd hafidhahullah was asked if all the shayateen are chained in Ramadaan, he mentioned that only the ones from the Jinn are chained(i.e the major ones), and that the ones from the Ins(man) remain but are weakened as their leaders from the Jinn are tied.
wallahu a'lam
