Hadith 34453
Yahya related to me from Malik from his paternal uncle Abu Suhayl
ibn Malik from his father that Abu Hurayra said, "When Ramadan comes
the gates of the Garden are opened and the gates of the Fire are
locked, and the shayatin are chained."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z Zinad from al-Araj from
Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "By the One in Whose hand my self is, the smell of
the breath of a man fasting is better with Allah than the scent of
musk.' He leaves his desires and his food and drink for My sake.
Fasting is for Me and I reward it. Every good action is rewarded by
ten times its kind, up to seven hundred times, except fasting, which
is for Me, and I reward it.' " Muwatta Malik Book 18, Hadith 64

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that the people
of knowledge did not disapprove of people fasting using tooth-sticks
at any hour of the day in Ramadan, whether at the beginning or the
end, nor had he heard any of the people of knowledge disapproving of
or forbidding the practice.
Yahya said that he heard Malik
say, about fasting for six days after breaking the fast at the end of
Ramadan, that he had never seen any of the people of knowledge and
fiqh fasting them. He said, "I have not heard that any of our
predecessors used to do that, and the people of knowledge disapprove
of it and they are afraid that it might become a bida and that common
and ignorant people might join to Ramadan what does not belong to it,
if they were to think that the people of knowledge had given
permission for that to be done and were seen doing it.
Yahya
said that he heard Malik say, "I have never heard any of the people of
knowledge and fiqh and those whom people take as an example forbidding
fasting on the day of jumua. Fasting on it is good, and I have seen
one of the people of knowledge fasting it, and it seemed to me that he
was keen to do so." Muwatta Malik Book 18, Hadith 66
