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  

“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

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا مِنْ أَيَّامٍ الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ فِيهَا أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ ﷻ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَيَّامِ يَعْنِي أَيَّامَ الْعَشْرِ قَالَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَلا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ؟ قَالَ وَلا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ إِلا رَجُلًا خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِشَيْءٍ  

[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

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 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»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said: "What is the best action in the sight of Allah during the 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, except for a man who goes out with himself and his wealth in the cause of Allah and does not return with anything." This is the wording of the narration of Shu'bah, and in the narration of Abu Mu'awiyah it is stated: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these days," meaning the ten days, and the remaining part is the same in meaning.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَا الْعَمَلُ فِي أَيَّامٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنْهُ فِي عَشْرِ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَ وَلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ثُمَّ لَا يَرْجِعُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِشَيْءٍ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ شُعْبَةَ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا مِنْ أَيَّامٍ الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ فِيهَا أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَيَّامِ يَعْنِي أَيَّامَ الْعَشْرِ وَالْبَاقِي بِمَعْنَاهُ  

"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".  

"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" (*).  

"عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْن عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسولُ الله ﷺ مَا منْ عَمَلٍ أفْضَل منْ عَمَلٍ فِى هَذه الأيام العَشْرِ، قَالُوا: وَلاَ الجِهَادُ؟ قَالَ وَلاَ الجِهَادُ، إِلاَّ رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ بمَالهِ وَنَفْسه فَلَمْ يَرْجعْ بِشَىْءٍ مِنْهُ بِشَئٍ".
