The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said:

“Perhaps a fasting person will get nothing from his fast except hunger and thirst, and perhaps a person who prays during the night will get nothing from his prayer except sleeplessness.”

[Related by Imam Ahmad and Ibn Majah]

Committing wrong actions whilst fasting will cause you to lose the reward for the fast and gain nothing from the fast except hunger and thirst as alluded to in this hadith.

The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said:

“Every night during Ramadan, at the time of breaking the fast, God has a million people He liberates from Hell. During the night of Jumu’ah, or during its day, He liberates one million people every hour. Everyone one of them deserves to be punished in Hell. Then during the last night of Ramadan, He liberates a number equivalent to the number He has liberated from the beginning of the month until the end.”

[Quoted in Lata’if al-Ma’arif  of Ibn Rajab, P:380]

“Whoever does not give up forged speech and evil actions, Allah is not in need of his leaving his food and drink (i.e. Allah will not accept his fasting.)”

The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said:

“There is a gate in the Garden called ar-Rayyan which those who fast will enter on the Day of Rising, and none but they will enter it.” It will be said, ‘Where are the fasters?’ They will stand up and none but they will enter it. When they have entered it, it will be closed and no one else will enter it.”
