حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ صَامَ الْعَشْرَ قَطُّ ‏.‏

It wasnarrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)said

“There are no days during which righteous deeds are more belovedtoAllah than these days,” meaning the (first) ten days ofDhul-Hijjah. They said: “O Messenger of Allah! Not even Jihad inthe causeof Allah?” He said: “Not even Jihad in the cause ofAllah, unless aman goes out with himself and his wealth and does notbring anythingback.”
