عن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «ما مِنْ أيَّامٍ العمَلُ الصَّالِحُ فيها أحبُّ إلى اللهِ مِن هذه الأيام» يعني أيامَ العشر، قالوا: يا رسُولَ الله، ولا الجهادُ في سبيلِ الله؟ قال: «ولا الجهادُ في سبيلِ الله، إلا رجلٌ خَرَجَ بنفسِه ومالِه فلم يَرْجِعْ من ذلك بشيءٍ».
Imepokewa kutoka kwa Bin Abbas -Radhi za Mwenyezi Mungu ziwe juu yao na baba yake- amesema: Amesema Mtume wa Mwenyezi Mungu -Rehema na amani ziwe juu yake-: "Hakuna siku ambazo matendo mema yanapendeka zaidi ndani yake kwa Mwenyezi mungu kuliko siku hizi" Yaani: Siku kumi (za mwanzo wa Dhul-Hija), Wakasema: Ewe Mjumbe wa Mwenyezi Mungu, hata kupigana Jihadi katika njia ya Mwenyezi Mungu? Akasema: "Hata kupigana Jihadi katika njia ya Mwenyezi Mungu, isipokuwa mtu aliyetoka kwa nafsi yake na mali yake na hakurudi na chochote katika hivyo".
Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than on these days," referring to the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. They said: "O Messenger of Allah, not even Jihad in the cause of Allah?" He said: "Not even Jihad in the cause of Allah, except that of a man who goes out (to Jihad) with his self and his property but returns with none of them."
Ubora wa matendo mema katika siku kumi za Dul-Hija, ni juu ya muislamu atumie fursa ya siku hizi na azidishe ibada ndani yake, kama kumtaja Allah Mtukufu, na kusoma Qur'ani, na takbiri (Allahu Akbar) na tahlil (Laa ilaaha illa llaah) na tahmidi (Alhamdulillaah), na swala na sadaka na swaumu, na amali zote njema.
