1727. It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbâs that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "There are no days during which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allâh than these days," meaning the (first) ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. They said: "O Messenger of Allâh! Not even Jihâd in the cause of Allâh?" He said: "Not even Jihâd in the cause of Allâh, unless a man goes out with himself and his wealth and does not bring anything back." (Sahih)
1727 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ الْبَطِينِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا مِنْ أَيَّامٍ، الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ فِيهَا أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ، مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَيَّامِ» يَعْنِي الْعَشْرَ، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: «وَلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، إِلَّا رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ، فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِشَيْءٍ»
