The Prophet ﷺ said, "No good deeds done on other days are superior to those done on these (first ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah)." Then some companions of the Prophet ﷺ said, "Not even Jihad?" He replied, "Not even Jihad, except that of a man who does it by putting himself and his property in danger (for Allah's sake) and does not return with any of those things."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «مَا الْعَمَلُ فِي أَيَّامِ الْعَشْرِ أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ فِي هَذِهِ۔» [يعني: أَيامَ العشرِ] قَالُوا: وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ؟ قَالَ: «وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ إِلاَّ رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ يُخَاطِرُ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ 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  

“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 that he said: "There is no deed superior to him in these days," meaning the ten days (of Dhul-Hijjah). It was said: "Not even Jihad in the cause of Allah?" He said: "Not even Jihad in the cause of Allah, except for the one who sets out with his self and his wealth and does not return with anything from it."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَا عَمَلٌ أَفْضَلَ مِنْهُ فِي هَذِهِ الْأَيَّامِ يَعْنِي أَيَّامَ الْعَشْرِ قَالَ فَقِيلَ وَلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ؟ قَالَ وَلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ إِلَّا مَنْ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ  

[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  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "There is no deed that is better in the sight of Allah than the deeds performed during the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah." It was asked, "Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah?" He ﷺ replied, "Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah, unless a person goes out with his life and wealth and does not return with anything."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا الْعَمَلُ فِي أَيَّامٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ فِي عَشْرِ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ» قِيلَ وَلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «وَلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ بِشَيْءٍ»  

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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2438)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا مِنْ أَيَّامٍ الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ فِيهَا أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَيَّامِ الْعَشْرِ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «وَلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِشَيْءٍ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days." It was said, "Not even Jihad, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Not even Jihad, except for a man who goes out with himself and his wealth and does not return with anything."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا مِنْ أَيَّامٍ يُتَقَرَّبُ إِلَى اللهِ فِيهَا بِعَمَلٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَيَّامِ الْعَشْرِ» قِيلَ وَلَا الْجِهَادُ؟ قَالَ «وَلَا الْجِهَادُ إِلَّا أَنْ يُجَاهِدَ هُوَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ وَلَا يَرْجِعُ مِنْهُ بِشَيْءٍ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There are no days in which good deeds are more beloved to Allah or in which the good deed is better than the ten days." It was said, "O Messenger of Allah, not even jihad?" He said, "Not even jihad, except for a man who goes out with himself and his wealth and does not return with anything."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا مِنْ أَيَّامٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ ﷻ فِيهِنَّ الْعَمَلُ أَوْ قَالَ أَفْضَلُ فِيهِنَّ الْعَمَلُ مِنْ أَيَّامِ الْعَشْرِ» قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَلَا الْجِهَادُ؟ قَالَ «وَلَا الْجِهَادُ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فَلَا يَرْجِعُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِشَيْءٍ»  

"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".
