The virtue of the first ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah

“And [by] ten nights, And [by] the even and the odd”. (Qur’an 89:2-3)

﷽ 

Shaykh Dr. Kahlan Al Karousi (h) informs us:

“When the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah be pleased with them) were asked about what they considered to be the greatest deeds and the best acts of devotion through which a person could draw near to Allah (blessed and exalted be He), they mentioned jihad in the cause of Allah, which is the pinnacle and highest peak of Islam. Then they said, “Not even jihad in the cause of Allah, O Messenger of Allah?” He replied, “Not even jihad in the cause of Allah, except for a man who goes out with his life and wealth and returns with neither.” The first benefit (of the ten days) is that the virtue of the ten days (of Dhul-Hijjah) is unmatched by the virtue of any other days.”

Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:

The Messenger of Allah (saw) 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.
