✧ I said: O Messenger of Allah, I placed under my pillow a white thread and a black thread, but nothing became clear to me. He said: "Indeed your pillow is wide. That is only the night from the day, in the saying of Allah the Exalted: 'And eat and drink until the white thread becomes distinct to you from the black thread of dawn. Then complete the fast until night. And do not have relations with them as long as you are staying for worship in the mosques. These are the limits of Allah, so do not approach them. Thus does Allah make clear His verses to the people that they may become righteous.'"

✧ We would prepare food for him for suhoor, but he would not eat much of it. We said to him: "You command us to do it, but you do not eat much of it?" He said: "I do not command you to do it because I crave it. Rather, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'The distinction between our fasting and the fasting of the People of the Book is the eating of suhoor.'"

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade continuous fasting. Some men among the Muslims said to him, "But you fast continuously." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I am not like you. I spend the night while my Lord feeds me and gives me drink." When they refused to stop continuous fasting, he fasted continuously with them for a day, then another day.

أن رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَرَهُ أَوْ أَمَرَ رَجُلًا يُنَادِي أَيَّامَ التَّشْرِيقِ «أَنَّهُ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا مُؤْمِنٌ وَهِيَ أَيَّامُ أَكْلٍ وَشُرْبٍ»
The Prophet [SAW] commanded him to call out on the days of At-Tashriq that no one would enter Paradise except a believer, and that these were the days of eating and drinking. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4994)
أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ هُوَ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ وَذَلِكَ الْغَدَ أَوْ بَعْدَ الْغَدِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْأَضْحَى فَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْهِمْ عَمْرٌو طَعَامًا فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ فَقَالَ عَمْرٌو أَفْطِرْ «فَإِنَّ هَذِهِ الْأَيَّامَ الَّتِي كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُنَا بِفِطْرِهَا وَيَنْهَانَا عَنْ صِيَامِهَا» فَأَفْطَرَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَأَكَلَ وَأَكَلْتُ مَعَهُ
✧ He and Abdullah b. Amr entered upon Amr b. al-As on the day after or the day after that of the Day of Sacrifice. Amr brought food near to them, and Abdullah said, "I am fasting." Amr said, "Break your fast, for these are the days in which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to command us to break our fast and forbid us from fasting." So Abdullah broke his fast and ate, and I ate with him.
Sunan ad-Darimi 1809Sahih
أَنَّ امْرَأَةً نَذَرَتْ أَنْ تَصُومَ فَمَاتَتْ فَجَاءَ أَخُوهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَوْ كَانَ عَلَيْهَا دَيْنٌ أَكُنْتَ قَاضِيَهُ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَاقْضُوا اللَّهَ اللَّهُ أَحَقُّ بِالْوَفَاءِ» قَالَ فَصَامَ عَنْهَا
✧ A woman vowed to fast, then she died. Her brother came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him about that. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "If she had a debt, would you pay it?" He said, "Yes." He said, "Then pay Allah, for Allah is more deserving of fulfillment." He said, "So he fasted on her behalf."

لَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ وَلِلصَّائِمِ فَرْحَتَانِ فَرْحَةٌ عِنْدَ فِطْرِهِ وَفَرْحَةٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
✧ The change in the breath of the fasting person is more pleasant to Allah than the fragrance of musk. The fasting person has two joys: a joy when he breaks his fast and a joy on the Day of Resurrection.
Sunan ad-Darimi 1811Sahih
كُلُّ عَمَلِ ابْنِ آدَمَ لَهُ فَالْحَسَنَةُ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا إِلَى سَبْعِ مِائَةِ ضِعْفٍ إِلَّا الصِّيَامَ هُوَ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ إِنَّهُ يَتْرُكُ الطَّعَامَ وَشَهْوَتَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي وَيَتْرُكُ الشَّرَابَ وَشَهْوَتَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي فَهُوَ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ
✧ Every deed of the son of Adam is for him; the good deed is multiplied ten times its like up to seven hundredfold, except fasting. It is for Me, and I reward it. He leaves his food and his desire for My sake, and he leaves his drink and his desire for My sake. So it is for Me, and I reward it.

✧ The Prophet ﷺ said, "There is no deed that is better in the sight of Allah than the deeds performed during the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah." It was asked, "Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah?"

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا مِنْ عَمَلٍ أَزْكَى عِنْدَ اللَّهِ ﷻ وَلَا أَعْظَمَ أَجْرًا مِنْ خَيْرٍ يَعْمَلُهُ فِي عَشْرِ الْأَضْحَى» قِيلَ وَلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ «وَلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ﷻ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِشَيْءٍ» قَالَ وَكَانَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ إِذَا دَخَلَ أَيَّامُ الْعَشْرِ اجْتَهَدَ اجْتِهَادًا شَدِيدًا حَتَّى مَا يَكَادُ يَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ
✧ On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ, he said: "There is no deed more pure in the sight of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, and no deed more deserving of rewards than a good deed performed during the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah."

It is reported that Sa'eed ibn Jubayr would exert extreme effort and strive his best during the ten days (of Dhul-Hijjah) to the extent that he could barely manage it.

We fasted with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during Ramadan, but he did not make us get up at night for prayer at any time during the month till seven nights remained; then he made us get up for prayer till a third of the night had passed. When the sixth remaining night came, he did not make us get up for prayer. When the fifth remaining night came, he made us stand in prayer till a half of the night had gone. So I said: Messenger of Allah, I wish you had led us in supererogatory prayers during the whole of tonight. He said: When a man prays with an imam till he goes he is reckoned as having spent a whole night in prayer. On the fourth remaining night he did not make us get up. When the third remaining night came, he gathered his family, his wives, and the people and prayed with us till we were afraid we should miss the falah (success). I said: What is falah? He said: The meal before daybreak. Then he did not make us get up for prayer during the remainder of the month. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1375)

So seek it in the last ten nights, on the fifth, the seventh, and the ninth.'
