758. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "There are no days more beloved to Allāh that He be worshipped in them than the ten of Dhul-Hijjah, fasting every day of them is the equivalent of fasting a year, and standing every night of them (in prayer) is the equivalent of standing on the Night of Qadr." (Da'if)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Gharīb, we do not know of it except as a narration of Mas'ūd bin Wāṣil from An-Nahhās. (He said:) I asked Muḥammad about this Hadīth and he did not know of its like from other than this route. He said: Something about this has been reported from Qatādah, from Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab, from the Prophet ﷺ in Mursal form. (Yahya bin Sa'eed has criticized Nahhās bin Qahm due to his weak memory.)

Commentary
The virtues of the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah are proven by the agreed narration, but the specification that fasting of one day is equal to the fasts of the whole year and the voluntary prayer at night (in the first ten nights of Dhul-Hijjah) is equal to that of the Night of Power – no authentic Hadīth proves this, and as for this Hadīth it is Weak.
