00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			One of the great merits
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			and virtues of
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			these 10 days of the hijab is what
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			Al Hasan al Qasri
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			said.
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			He said that,
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:12
			it
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			was said that
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:18
			fasting one day of those 8 days
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			is equal to fasting
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			1 1000 days,
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
			and fasting the day of alafa is equal
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:31
			to what? To fasting 1 or fasting 10000
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			days. Imagine,
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			my dear brothers and sisters.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			And I think he took this
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			from the other Hadith when the prophet said,
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			Anyway, that the hasanah is multiplied by 10,
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			and sometimes the hasanah is multiplied
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			up to 700
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:51
			times.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			This is in normal circumstances,
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			so Al Hasan al Basri may have understood
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			that Al Hasanah is multiplied
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			in those days
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			by 1,000 times.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			And in fact, he took this from
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10
			the people at that time, from the Tabihin.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			So that's why this hadith has wait
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16
			because he said, as Al Bayhaqqai reported,
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			that it was said. So this is as
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			if it is known. That's why this hadith
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			or this statement, although it is not,
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			it is not the reference to the prophet
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			but it has weight.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			So imagine
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:34
			fasting
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			one day,
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			my dear brothers and sisters, in those 8
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			days of Dhul Hijjah is equal to what?
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:42
			To fasting
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			1 1000 days,
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			almost 3 years.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			Fasting one day is equal to fast, what,
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:51
			Almost
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			3 years.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			And imagine
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			if that can be extended to any good
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			deed that we do in those 10 days,
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			it means that any good deed will be
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			multiplied by what? By 1,000
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			times.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			So for example, take the example when the
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			prophet said,
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			100 times. Allah
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			will give him
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			5 things. This is the well known hadith
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			in Bukhari.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:28
			As if he has freed 10
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			of the slaves, of the precious
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			slaves at that time,
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			And
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			Allah will grant him
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:40
			100 Hasanah. It seems 100 big Hasanah and
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:40
			Allah
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			will remove 100
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			sin from him,
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			which means big sins as well.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:47
			And,
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			it will be
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			a protection for the rest of his days
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			for his day, and no one will come
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:57
			on the day of resurrection
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			with good
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			deeds equal to the deeds that he did
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04
			except someone who someone did what he did
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			and more. So imagine
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:07
			you multiply
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:08
			this reward
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			by
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			1,000
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			times because you said this
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			You said it in those
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			10 days.
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			You said it 100 times as the prophet,
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:25
			salam,
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			imagine the amount of reward.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			And similarly,
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:33
			brothers and sisters, imagine the amount of Sadaka,
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36
			you gave. Sadaka will be multiplied
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			by thousands of folds.
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:43
			Imagine you make your father happy. Imagine you
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			make your mother happy. Imagine
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:48
			you help someone who is really
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:51
			in need of help. Of course, the focus
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:55
			on the specific Ibadat, the prophet mentioned
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:59
			in the hadith and leave the other things
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			because the prophet
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			said, there are no days in which the
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			good deeds are more beloved
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08
			to than the deeds performed in those 10
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:11
			days. In what narration? He said increase
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			which means
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:18
			saying saying
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:21
			and, of course,
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			recitation
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			of Quran and those specific outcome.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			In one narration,
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			the Sahaba understood that
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			those
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33
			10 days of the rihija are meant for
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			these specific Ibadah
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			because they asked the prophet even
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			good deeds
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:42
			are better than going for jihad, You Rasulullah,
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:46
			doing good deeds in those 10 10 days
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			better than going for jihad, You Rasool Allah?
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:49
			And the prophet
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:50
			said, yes,
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:54
			better than going for jihad except for someone
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			who left for jihad,
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58
			and he lost his life. He lost his
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			wealth as well.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			That is an exception, which means that there
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:03
			are specific
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:05
			needs to be performed
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:09
			in those 10 days of the hija. My
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			dear brothers, my dear
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			sisters, why do you lose them? Why do
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			we lose them? Saying
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			as if you have said it, what,
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:18
			1,000
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			times. This dua,
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:26
			100 times
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			as imagine the amount of reward you will
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:33
			get when you say in those 10 days.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:34
			That's why
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			the prophet said,
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			there are no days
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			in which the good deeds are more beloved
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			to Allah
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:44
			than those 10 days of.
