The First 10 days of Dhil-Hijjah

The Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alayhi wasallam) said:

(( ما من أيام العمل الصالح فيهن أحب إلى الله من هذه الأيام العشر ))
"There are no days in which righteous actions are more beloved to Allaah than these Ten days."

قالوا يا رسول الله ولا الجهاد في سبيل الله
They said: "O Messenger of Allaah! Not even the jihaad in the Path of Allaah?"

(( ولا الجهاد في سبيل الله إلا رجل خرج بنفسه وماله ولم يرجع من ذلك بشيء ))
He said: "Not even the jihaad in the Path of Allaah, except that a man goes out with his self and his wealth and nothing from that returns."

[Collected by al-Bukhaaree, from the hadeeth of Ibn 'Abbaas]
