And so the days in which we are

00:00:02 --> 00:00:03

in right now,

00:00:04 --> 00:00:06

the first 10 days of this month of

00:00:06 --> 00:00:08

Dhul Hijjah which began

00:00:08 --> 00:00:09

on Wednesday,

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12

These days are the best days of the

00:00:12 --> 00:00:15

year. And so because these days are special,

00:00:15 --> 00:00:16

because these days are virtuous,

00:00:18 --> 00:00:20

Allah made good deeds

00:00:20 --> 00:00:21

and haybada

00:00:21 --> 00:00:23

to be more beloved to Him than at

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

any other time of the year. The Prophet

00:00:25 --> 00:00:26

said,

00:00:35 --> 00:00:36

That there are no days

00:00:37 --> 00:00:40

in which good deeds, righteous deeds are more

00:00:40 --> 00:00:44

beloved to Allah than during these days. And

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46

so the companions, they asked, You Rasulawah,

00:00:49 --> 00:00:52

Rasulullah, not even performing jihad in the path

00:00:52 --> 00:00:55

of Allah. Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa wasallam said,

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

He said, no. Not even jihad in the

00:01:04 --> 00:01:07

path of Allah, except a man who goes

00:01:07 --> 00:01:10

out in jihad with his self and his

00:01:10 --> 00:01:11

wealth, and he doesn't come back with anything,

00:01:11 --> 00:01:14

meaning that he is martyred, he attained shahada

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

in the path of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:01:16 --> 00:01:19

This hadith was narrated by Abdullah ibn Abbas

00:01:20 --> 00:01:22

and the one who narrated it from him

00:01:22 --> 00:01:25

was Sahid ibn Jubayr. It is reported that

00:01:25 --> 00:01:28

Sahid ibn Jubayr When these 10 days would

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

come, these first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah,

00:01:30 --> 00:01:30

sahidimin

00:01:31 --> 00:01:31

Jubair

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

would devote himself to hibadah, to such an

00:01:34 --> 00:01:35

extent

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

that if a person wanted to find him,

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38

he would be able to find him, he

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40

wouldn't be able to meet him. And so

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42

the salah, they used to spend these days

00:01:42 --> 00:01:45

in the hibadah of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:01:45 --> 00:01:46

They used to devote themselves

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

and they used to seclude themselves in the

00:01:49 --> 00:01:52

ibadah of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and not

00:01:52 --> 00:01:53

busy themselves

00:01:53 --> 00:01:54

with anything else.
