The answer

Among the virtues of the month of is that Allah Almighty has those freed from the Fire on every night. When the first night of it comes, the devils are chained, the gates of Hell are closed, and the gates of Paradise are opened. And a caller proclaims: "O seeker of good, come forth; and O seeker of evil, desist. And Allah has those freed from the Fire, and that is on every night." As for the "When the first night of the month of Ramadan comes, Allah looks upon His creation... And Allah has a million freed from the Fire every day, and when the twenty-ninth night comes, Allah frees therein as many as He freed throughout the entire month," it is fabricated (mawdu').
