AbuHurayra(RA)narratesthattheProphet(SAW)said:“TherearenodaysinwhichtheworshipofAllahisasbelovedtoHimasinthetendaysofDhūal-Ḥijja.Fastingineachofthesedaysisequivalenttofastingforayear.Standinginprayerineachofthesenightsisequivalenttostandinginprayeronthenightofpower(Laylatal-Qadr).”[Sunanal-Tirmidhī]

IbnʿAbbās(RA)narratesthattheProphet(SAW)said:“TherearenodayswhicharegreaterinthesightofAllah,noraretheredaysinwhichgooddeedsaremorebelovedtoAllahthanthefirsttendaysofDhūal-Hijja.Therefore,engageinabundanttasbīḥ,taḥmīd,tahlīlandtakbīr.”[al-Tabarānī]

IbnʿUmar(RA)narratesthattheProphet(SAW)said:“WhentheeveningofʿArafaarrives,nobodywithamustardseed’sweightoffaithintheirheartisleft,buttheyareforgiven.”TheProphet’scompanionsasked,“OMessengerofGod,isthisrestrictedonlytopeopleonʿArafa?”Hesaid,“No,itisforallMuslims.”[al-Tabarāni]

AbūQatāda(RA)narratesthattheProphet(SAW)said:“FastingonthedayofʿArafaisregardedby

Allahasanexpiationofthesinsoftheyearbeforeitandtheyearafterit.”[SaḥīḥMuslim](ThisisinreferencetothoseMuslimsnotatʿArafa.)

ʿImranb.Husayn(RA)narratesthattheProphet(SAW)said:“OFātima,risetoyoursacrificeand

“Foreach[religiousfollowing]isa[prayer]directiontowardwhichitfaces.Soraceto[allthatis]
