حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، وَمُجَاهِدٍ، وَمُسْلِمٍ الْبَطِينِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا مِنْ أَيَّامٍ الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ فِيهَا أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ الأَيَّامِ». يَعْنِي أَيَّامَ الْعَشْرِ. قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: «وَلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِشَىْءٍ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) as saying: There is no virtue more to the liking of Allah in any day than in these days, that is, the first ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah. They (the Companions) asked: Messenger of Allah, not even the struggle in the path of Allah (Jihad)? He said: (Yes), not even the struggle in the path of Allah, except a man who goes out (in the path of Allah) with his life and property, and does not return with any of them.

ইবনু ‘আব্বাস (রাযি.) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ মহান আল্লাহর নিকট যে কোনো দিনের সৎ আমলে চেয়ে যিলহজ (হজ্জ) মাসের দশ প্রথম দিনের আমলের অধিক প্রিয়। লোকেরা জিজ্ঞেস করলো, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! আল্লাহর পথে জিহাদও নয়? তিনি বললেনঃ না, আল্লাহর পথে জিহাদও নয়। তবে যে ব্যক্তি তার জান-মাল নিয়ে জিহাদে বের হয় এবং কোনো একটি নিয়েও ফিরে না আসে তার কথা স্বতন্ত্র।[1] সহীহ।

عبداللہ بن عباس رضی اللہ عنہما کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : ” ان دنوں یعنی عشرہ ذی الحجہ کا نیک عمل اللہ تعالیٰ کو تمام دنوں کے نیک اعمال سے زیادہ محبوب ہے “ ، لوگوں نے عرض کیا : اللہ کے رسول ! اللہ کی راہ میں جہاد بھی ( اسے نہیں پا سکتا ) ؟

آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : ” جہاد بھی نہیں ، مگر ایسا شخص جو اپنی جان و مال کے ساتھ نکلا اور لوٹا ہی نہیں “ ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Utsman bin Abu Syaibah], telah menceritakan kepada kami [Waki'], telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al A'masy] dari [Abu Shalih], dan [Mujahid], serta [Muslim Al Bathin] dari [Sa'id bin Jubair] dari [Ibnu Abbas], ia berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Tidak ada hari, amal shalih padanya yang lebih Allah cintai daripada sepuluh hari (Dzul Hijjah)."

Mereka berkata; wahai Rasulullah, tidak pula berjihad di jalan Allah? Beliau berkata: "Tidak pula berjihad di jalan Allah, kecuali seorang laki-laki yang keluar dengan jiwa dan hartanya kemudian tidak kembali membawa sesuatupun

İbni Abbas (r.a.)'dan, demiştir ki: Rasûlullah (s.a.v.); "Kendisinde amel-i sâlih işlenen günlerin Allah katında en sevimlisi şu günlerdir -yani Zilhiccenin (ilk) on günü-" Ya Rasûlullah! Allah yolunda cihad da mı (O günler kadar sevimli değildir.)?! dediler. Efendimiz (s.a.v.); "Allah yolunda cihad da! Ancak canı ve malı. ile cihada gidip de bunlardan bir şey döndürmeyen müstesna" diye cevap verdi

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) points out that good deeds in the first ten days of the month of Dhul-Hijjah are better than those performed during the other days of the year. The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) about Jihad in the cause of Allah outside these ten days, as to whether it is better or the good deeds performed in these days.

This is because it was well established among them that Jihad is one of the best deeds. In response, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said that good deeds on these days are better than Jihad performed on other days, with the exception of a man who goes out for Jihad and risks his life and property for the cause of Allah and he loses both his property and life. This is what is better than good deeds in these virtuous days.

What it teaches

  • The Hadīth highlights the merit of good deeds performed in the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. A Muslim should seize these days and perform many pious acts therein, including remembrance of Allah, recitation of the Qur'an, proclamation of Allah's greatness, oneness, praise, prayer, charity, fasting, and all deeds of righteousness.
