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.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا مِنْ أَيَّامٍ الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ فِيهَا أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ الأَيَّامِ يَعْنِي أَيَّامَ الْعَشْرِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِشَىْءٍ  

the Messenger of Allah said: "There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than those ten days." They said: "O Messenger of Allah! Not even Jihad in Allah Cause?" The Messenger of Allah said: "Not even Jihad in Allah's Cause, unless a man were to out with his self and his wealth and not return from that with anything."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا مِنْ أَيَّامٍ الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ فِيهِنَّ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ الأَيَّامِ الْعَشْرِ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِشَيْءٍ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو وَجَابِرٍ  

“There are no days during which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these days,” meaning the (first) ten days of Dhul- Hijjah. They said: “O Messenger of Allah! Not even Jihad in the cause of Allah?” He said: “Not even Jihad in the cause of Allah, unless a man goes out with himself and his wealth and does not bring anything back.”  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا مِنْ أَيَّامٍ الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ فِيهَا أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ الأَيَّامِ يَعْنِي الْعَشْرَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِشَىْءٍ  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these days." It was asked, "Not even Jihad in the cause of Allah?" He replied, "Not even Jihad in the cause of Allah, except for a man who leaves with himself and his wealth and does not return with anything from it."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَا مِنَ الْأَيَّامِ أَيَّامٌ الْعَمَلُ فِيهِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَيَّامِ قِيلَ وَلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ؟ قَالَ وَلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْهُ

I met Habib ibn Abi Thabit and asked him about this Hadith. He narrated a similar Hadith to me. Abdullah ibn Abbas said, "These are the ten days."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا مِنْ أَيَّامٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ الْعَمَلُ فِيهِنَّ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَيَّامِ قِيلَ وَلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ؟ قَالَ وَلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ إِلَّا مَنْ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ حَتَّى تُهَرَاقَ مُهْجَةُ دَمِهِ قَالَ فَلَقِيتُ حَبِيبَ بْنَ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ؟ فَحَدَّثَنِي بِنَحْوٍ مِنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ وَقَالَ عَبْدَةُ هِيَ الْأَيَّامُ الْعَشْرُ

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet, ﷺ , "There are no deeds during the ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah that are more beloved to Allah than performing Jihad in His cause, except for a man who goes out with his life and his wealth and does not return with anything from that."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا الْعَمَلُ فِي أَيَّامٍ أَفْضَلُ مِنْهُ فِي عَشْرِ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَ «وَلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَخْرُجَ رَجُلٌ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ ثُمَّ لَا يَرْجِعُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِشَيْءٍ»  

"مَا مِنْ أيَّامٍ العَمَلُ الصالِح فِيهِنَّ أحَبّ إِلى اللهِ من عَشْرِ ذي الحجة. قَالوا: وَلَا الجِهَادُ في سَبيل اللهِ؟ قَال: وَلَا الجهَادُ في سبيل الله إلا رجل خرجَ بِنَفْسِه وَمَالِهِ فَلَمْ يَرجِع من ذَلِك بِشَيءٍ".  

"مَا مِنْ أيَّامٍ العَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ فيهَا أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ مِنْ هَذهِ الأيام -يَعْنِي أيامَ العَشْرِ- قَالُوا: يَا رَسُول اللهِ، وَلا الجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ الله؟ قَال: وَلا الجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيل اللهِ، إِلا رَجُل خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَرْجعْ مِنْ ذَلكَ بشَىْءٍ".  

"مَا منْ أَيَّامٍ أَفْضَلُ فيهِنَّ العَمَلُ مِنْ هَذه العشْرِ، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُول الله، وَلا الجِهَادُ؟ قَال: وَلا الجهَادُ إِلا أَنْ يَخْرجُ رَجُلٌ بِنَفْسه وَمَاله في سَبِيل الله، ثُمَّ يكونَ مهجةُ نفسه فيه".  

"مَا مِنْ أَيَّام العَمَلُ فِيهنَّ أَفْضَل مِنْ أيَّام العَشْرِ، قِيلَ: وَلا الجِهَادُ في سبيلِ اللهِ؟ قَال: وَلا الجِهَادُ في سَبِيلِ اللهِ إِلا مَن عُقِر جَوَادُه وَأهْرِيقَ دَمُه".  

"مَا مِنْ عمَلٍ أَزكى عِنْدَ اللهِ -تَعالى- وَلا أَعْظَمَ أَجْرًا مِنْ خيرٍ يعْمَلُهُ فِي عشْرِ الأَضْحَى، قِيل: ولا الجِهَادُ فِي سبِيلِ اللهِ؟ قَال: وَلا الجِهادُ فِي سَبيلِ اللهِ إلَّا رجُلٌ خرجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمالِهِ فلَمْ يَرْجع مِنْ ذلِكَ بِشىْء".  

"مَا مِنْ عَمَلٍ أَحَب إِلى اللهِ مِنْ عَمَل فِي العَشْرِ، قِيلَ: وَلا الجِهادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ؟ إلّا مَنْ خَرَج بِنَفْسِهِ وَمالِهِ وَجَوادِهِ فلَمْ يرْجعْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بشَيْءٍ" (*).  

"مَا الْعَمَلُ في أيَّامٍ أَفْضَلُ مِنْهُ في عَشْرِ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ، قَالُوا: ولا الجِهَادُ في سَبِيلِ اللهِ؟ قال: ولا الْجِهَادُ في سَبِيلِ اللهِ إلا رَجُلٌ خَرجَ يُخَاطِرُ نَفْسَهُ وَمَالهُ، فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ بِشَيْءٍ".
