Virtues of the tenth of Dhul-Hijjah
Praise be to God, and prayers and peace be upon the
Messenger of God and upon all his family and companions
It is from God’s mercy on us that He has prepared for us opportunities
and seasons in which the ranks are raised, the good deeds are multiplied, the
bad deeds are expiated and there are reasons for entering Paradise.
We must hasten and hurry to do good deeds, in response to the command of
the Lord of the earth and the heavens
Almighty said
(فَاسْتَبِقُوا الْخَيْرَاتِ)
Al-Baqarah: 148
And in accordance with the commandment of the best of creatures
Interview (The Messenger of Allah ﷺ: initiated the falsehood like a dark
night man becomes a believer or an infidel evening comes a believer and an
evening comes an infidel religion sells introduced from the floor) Narrated by
Muslim
It is from the great wisdom of God Almighty to distinguish between days,
nights, months and hours
The last hour of Friday is better than the other hours of the day, and
the hours of the last third of the night are better than the hours of the night
when mercy descends and the question is answered.
And the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah are the best days of the year, blessed
days that God swore by in His Book, and explained their merits, and God, the
Blessed and Exalted, made them an opportunity for the believer to return to his
Lord and get closer to his Creator, and for them the reward will be multiplied,
so what will you receive?!
Q/ Why is the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah preferred over others?
God swore by it, and he swore by it only because of its
greatness
The Almighty said
(وَالْفَجْرِ * وَلَيَالٍ عَشْر)
Surah Al-Fajr (1-2)
More than one of the salaf said:
It is the tenth of Dhul-Hijjah, which is the view of the majority of
commentators and was chosen by Ibn Kathir.
It's the best days in the world
On the authority of Jaber, may God be pleased with him, on the authority
of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, he said: The best days
of the world are the ten days - meaning the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah - It was
said: And not like them in the way of God? He said: There is none like them in
the way of God except for a man whose face is covered with dust [Narrated by
Al-Bazzar and Ibn Hibban and authenticated by Al-Albani] [Sahih / Sahih
Al-Jami’ Al-Sagheer, (1133)].
Good deeds during it are more beloved to God than on other
days
On the authority of Ibn Abbas, may God be pleased with him, he said: The
Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “There are no
days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to God than these days - meaning
the ten days - they said: O Messenger of God, nor jihad for the sake of God? He
said: Not even jihad for the sake of God, except for a man who went out with
himself and his money and then did not return with anything.” [Al-Bukhari]
Ibn Hajar said:
What appears to be the reason why the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah are
privileged is the place where the mothers of worship gather, which is prayer,
fasting, charity and Hajj, and this does not come in other than that.
The scholars differed: which is better, the ten days of
Dhul-Hijjah or the last ten days of Ramadan?
The most correct, as Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned:
The last ten nights of Ramadan are better than the ten nights of
Dhul-Hijjah (considering Laylat al-Qadr) and the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah are
better than the ten days of Ramadan (considering the day of Arafat, the
Sacrifice)
that in mentioning
(وَيَذْكُرُوا
اسْمَ اللَّهِ فِي أَيَّامٍ مَعْلُومَاتٍ) Hajj: 28
Modern :
On the authority of Ibn Umar, may God be pleased with them, on the
authority of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, he said:
“There are no days that are greater in the sight of God and I do not like to
work on them than these ten days.
Al-Bukhari said:
Ibn Umar and Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with them, used to go out
to the market in the ten days saying takbeer and people would say takbeer. And
he said: “Umar used to say the takbeer in his dome in Mina, so the people of
the mosque would hear him reciting the takbeer, and the people of the markets
would recite the takbeer until Mina shook.
Ibn Umar used to grow up in Mina those days, behind
the prayers, on his bed, and in his tents, sittings, and walks all those days.”
It is the day of Arafah
The one in which emancipation from the Fire is abundant, and the Day of
Arafat is one of the best ten days, indeed one of the best days of the year.
The Almighty said:
(وَالسَّمَاءِ
ذَاتِ الْبُرُوجِ *َوالْيَوْمِ الْمَوْعُودِ *وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ)سورة البروج(1ـ3)
The promised day is the Day of Resurrection, and the witnessed day is the
Day of Arafat (Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi).
Just as God has bestowed upon us a great deal of His freeing, Glory be to
Him, as stated in Sahih Muslim
He said: (Aisha said that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, he
said that more than a day that God frees the slaves from the fire from the day
of Arafa and it's approaching and then boast of their angels says what they
wanted). narrated by Muslim
Hadith: (I hope that Allah will expiate for the year before it and the
year after it) Sahih Muslim
The best supplication is the supplication on the Day of Arafat (there is
no god but God alone, He has no partner.....)
That is the Day of Sacrifice
It is the tenth day that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said about
“The greatest days with God Almighty is the Day of
Sacrifice, then the Day of Resurrection.” Narrated by Abu Dawood. "
And the Day of Resurrection:
It is the eleventh day, the first day of al-Tashreeq, because pilgrims
recognize Mina on it.
Q: What are the recommended actions in these ten days?
Worship:
It is a comprehensive name for all that God loves and is pleased with,
both outward and inward.
And these ten days are numbered, how quickly they go away, so the successful
is the one who hurries to what is with God
As Imam Ahmad said:
(The world is an hour, so make
it obedience)
These acts of worship and actions increase faith, for faith increases
with obedience and decreases with disobedience
If your faith increases, your closeness to God increases.
of business:
1/ Sincerity
A person must invoke the intention in all his acts of worship, and not
intend to worship him except for the pleasure of God, glory be to Him, and the
Hereafter.
And this is what God commanded in His saying
(وَمَا أُمِرُوا إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ
مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ)
The Evidence: 5
Meaning: loyal to him at work
And this is the story of the owners of the cave who begged God through
their righteous deeds and because of their sincerity, God relieved them of what
they were in
That is why we were keen on reminding him of it while we are approaching
in these blessed seasons to renew the intention and make it sincere to the Lord
of the wilderness. Because he, the Blessed and Exalted, does not accept any
action except that which was purely for him and for which he sought His face,
Glory be to Him.
Let us beware of hypocrisy
Modern:
(Salamah said, I heard Jndba
say: The Prophet peace be upon him and did not hear anyone say Prophet peace be
upon him other Phinot him heard him say: The Prophet peace be upon him: who
heard God heard him and Araia Araia by God) [Bukhari Muslim, Ibn Majah, Ahmad)
And the acceptance of your deeds is only with sincerity, for sincerity is
the secret of goodness
You must have hidden works that only God Almighty knows.
2/ male
Lots of remembrance of God Almighty said
(وَيَذْكُرُوا
اسْمَ اللَّهِ فِي أَيَّامٍ مَّعْلُومَاتٍ عَلَى مَا رَزَقَهُم مِّن بَهِيمَةِ الأَنْعَامِ)
Hajj: 28
Imam Bukhari said:
(Ibn Umar and Abu Hurayrah
used to go out to the market on the ten days saying the takbeer and the people
said the takbeer in their takbeer)
Zoom is of two types:
absolute 2) bound
The absolute magnification:
It is for a person to grow up at any time, at any time and in any place
during the ten days and the days of al-Tashreeq
Restricted Zoom:
It is what was restricted to the backs of the five daily prayers and
starts from the dawn of the day of Arafat until the afternoon of the last days
of al-Tashreeq
Ibn Taymiyyah said:
The most correct sayings about the takbeer that the majority of the salaf
are upon
To say the takbeer from the dawn of the day of Arafat to the last days of
al-Tashreeq after each prayer
Modern
(Shall I not tell fine deeds,
and Ozkaha when Mlikkm, and lift it in Drjatkm and good for you than spending
gold and paper, and good for you that have received your enemies Vtdharbwa
their necks and smite your neck? They said: Yes. He said: Allah the Almighty)
Maaz bin Jabal said: What is something Ingy from God’s torment from the
remembrance of God
Narrator: Abu al-Darda’, narrator: al-Albani - Source: Sahih al-Tirmidhi
- Page or number: 3377
Summary of the updated ruling: Sahih)
3 / Make sure to recite the Qur’an
frequently, memorize it, and keep it.
God has made clear the virtue of reciting His Book
And he said:
(إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَتْلُونَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ
وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَنفَقُوا مِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ سِرًّا وَعَلَانِيَةً يَرْجُونَ
تِجَارَةً لَّن تَبُورَ)
(2 hope):
The Qur’an will come on the Day of Resurrection as an intercessor for its
companions
(It is said to the owner of
the Qur’an: Recite and ascend and recite as you used to recite in this world,
for your position is at the last verse you recited)
These days are an opportunity to learn the Qur’an, memorize it, and
adhere to it.
The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “Agree with
the Qur’an, for by the one in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, he is the
most ignorant and ignorant of Islam.”
It is better for you to conclude in these ten days, even once, by reading
three parts every day
4/ Fasting
It is mustahabb for a person to fast all nine or whatever is available to
him.
As for what was mentioned in Sahih Muslim from the hadith of the Mother
of the Believers: (I have never seen the Messenger of God fasting during the
ten days)
This does not preclude the desirability of her fasting, as evidenced by
the fact that her fasting is part of the good deeds, and the Messenger, may
God’s prayers and peace be upon him, urged good deeds at all.
Hadith: “No servant fasts a day in the way of God but that on that day
God will keep his face away from the Fire by seventy Muslims.”
As for fasting on the day of Arafah, which is the ninth day of
Dhul-Hijjah, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was asked about his
fasting, and he said:
Hadith: (I hope that Allah will expiate for the year before it and the
year after it) Sahih Muslim
What should be known is that it is desirable to fast on the Day of Arafat for a non-pilgrim. As for the pilgrim, it is not prescribed for him to fast, for the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, did not fast in Arafat, but rather prohibited that. Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, said: (The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, forbade About fasting on the day of Arafat at Arafat (Sahih according to the conditions of Al-Bukhari)
5/ Charity
She is welcome all the time
And since we are in virtuous days and good deeds in them are more beloved
to God than others, the desirability of giving charity in these days is more
certain than others
God has made the first attributes of the righteous, for whom a paradise
as wide as the heavens and the earth has been prepared, is that they spend in
prosperity and in adversity.
(وَسَارِعُوا
إِلَىٰ مَغْفِرَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَجَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ
أُعِدَّتْ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ * الَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ فِي السَّرَّاءِ وَالضَّرَّاءِ وَالْكَاظِمِينَ
الْغَيْظَ وَالْعَافِينَ عَنِ النَّاسِ وَاللَّهُ
يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ)
(Al-Imran: 133 134)
Charity is a reason to increase money
(On the authority of Abu
Hurayrah, may God be pleased with him, that the Messenger of God, may God’s
prayers and peace be upon him, said: God Almighty said:
And seven whom Allah will shade in His shade from among them
A hadith (on the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him,
on the authority of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him), he
said: “Seven will be shaded by God under His shade on the Day when there will
be no shade but His: a just imam and a young man who grew up in the worship of
God, and a man whose heart is attached to mosques, and two men who love each
other for the sake of God gather over him and separate for him. And a man was
called by a woman of position and beauty and said, “I fear God.” A man gave
alms in charity and he concealed it so that his left hand did not know what his
right hand was spending;
6/ The sacrifice.
God has legislated the sacrifice
(فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَانْحَرْ)
Al-Kawthar: 2.
A hadith: (In the two Sahihs and others on the authority of Anas, may God
be pleased with him, he said: “The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon
him, sacrificed two salty rams, so I saw him placing his feet on their plates,
shouting and saying takbir, and he slaughtered them with his hand.”
Sacrifice conditions:
Safety from defects.
(Four things are not
sufficient in sacrifice: the one-eyed whose defects are clear, the sick woman
whose disease is clear, the one who is lame whose rib is clear, and the broken
one that cannot be cleaned)
The time for slaughter begins immediately after the Eid prayer
Talk :( said the Messenger of Allah peace be upon him: "Whoever
slaughtered before the prayer for he slaughtered himself, and slaughtered after
the prayer has been asceticism, and struck the Muslims) Narrated by Bukhari:
911.2 - Bab: dividing the Imam of sacrificial animals among the people .5227 -
It is Sunnah for the one who sacrifices to sacrifice to eat from his
sacrifice, to give gifts to relatives and neighbors, and to give alms from it
to the poor and needy
The Almighty said:
) فَكُلُوا
مِنْهَا وَأَطْعِمُوا الْبَائِسَ الْفَقِيرَ )
Hajj: (28)
And whoever wants to sacrifice, let him withhold from his hair, nails and
skin, i.e. not take anything from them when the new moon of Dhul-Hijjah is
sighted until he slaughters his sacrifice.
:(
talk
about Umm Salamah: that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:
"If you entered the ten, one of you and wanted to sacrifice not touch his
hair, nor ravenously nothing." (Narrated by Muslim)
Fdl talk:
It is not permissible for someone who wants to sacrifice to take from
these three things - hair, nails and skin - until he has slaughtered his
sacrifice.
Imam Ahmad held that it is obligatory to abstain from these matters
And the audience went: to hate only
The first saying: It is more likely, with evidence that the Messenger
forbade that, and the basic principle in the prohibition is that it is
forbidden
The person who wants to sacrifice is the one who must abstain, but if he
involves his family with him, they do not have to abstain.
Likewise, if someone else is to sacrifice on his behalf, then the agent
does not have to not take from these things because he is an agent, but the
person who was appointed is the one who must abstain.
Whoever wants to offer a sacrifice may brush and touch the perfume, but
he is not allowed to do any of these three things.
May God’s peace
and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his family and
companions
