00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			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.
