1896. Narrated Sahl رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, "There is a gate in Paradise called Ar-Raiyān, and those who observe Saum (fasts) will enter through it on the Day of Resurrection and none except them will enter through it. It will be said, 'Where are those who used to observe Saum (fast)?' They will get up, and none except them will enter through it. After their entry the gate will be closed and nobody will enter through it."
1896 - حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلاَلٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: " إِنَّ فِي الجَنَّةِ بَابًا يُقَالُ لَهُ الرَّيَّانُ، يَدْخُلُ مِنْهُ الصَّائِمُونَ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ، لاَ يَدْخُلُ مِنْهُ أَحَدٌ غَيْرُهُمْ، يُقَالُ: أَيْنَ الصَّائِمُونَ؟ فَيَقُومُونَ لاَ يَدْخُلُ مِنْهُ أَحَدٌ غَيْرُهُمْ، فَإِذَا دَخَلُوا أُغْلِقَ فَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ مِنْهُ أَحَدٌ "

(1) (H.1894) Although all practices of worshipping are for Allāh, here Allāh تعالى singles out Saum (fasting), because Saum (fast) cannot be practised for the sake of showing off as nobody can know whether one is observing Saum (fast) or not, except Allāh. Therefore, Saum (fasting) is a pure performance that cannot be blemished with hypocrisy. (Fath Al-Bārī)
