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

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

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 مِنْ أَيَّامٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ العَمَلُ فِيهِنَّ مِنْ هذهِ الأيَّامِ، قِيلَ: وَلا الجِهَادُ في سَبِيلِ اللهِ؟ قَال: وَلا الجِهَادُ في سَبِيل اللهِ إلَّا مَنْ خَرَج بِنَفْسِه وَمَاله، ثُمَّ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ حَتَّى يُهْرَاق 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".
