[Machine] I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said: "The mention of deeds came up, and then he said: "There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days." They said: "Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah, except in the case of a man who went out, giving himself and his wealth up for the cause of Allah, and came back with nothing."

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: There is no virtue more to the liking of Allah in any day than in these days, that is, the first ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah. They (the Companions) asked: Messenger of Allah, not even the struggle in the path of Allah (Jihad) ? He said: (Yes), not even the struggle in the path of Allah, except a man who goes out (in the path of Allah) with his life and property, and does not return with any of them.
