وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَبَلَةَ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَرْوَانَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ -:
مَا مِنْ أَيَّامٍ أَفْضَلَ عِنْدَ اللهِ تَعَالَى مِنْ أَيَّامِ عَشْرِ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ. قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، هُنَّ أَفْضَلُ أَمْ عِدَّتُهُنَّ جِهَادًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ تَعَالَى ؟ قَالَ: هُنَّ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ عِدَّتِهِنَّ جِهَادًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، إِلَّا عَفِيرًا يُعَفَّرُ فِي التُّرَابِ. وَمَا مِنْ يَوْمٍ أَفْضَلَ عِنْدَ اللهِ تَعَالَى مِنْ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ، يَنْزِلُ اللهُ تَعَالَى إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ: انْظُرُوا إِلَى عِبَادِي، شُعْثًا غُبْرًا حَاجِّينَ، جَاؤُوا مِنْ كُلِّ فَجٍّ عَمِيقٍ، وَلَمْ يَرَوْا رَحْمَتِي وَلَا عَذَابِي، فَلَمْ يُرَ يَوْمًا أَكْثَرَ عَتِيقًا مِنَ النَّارِ مِنْ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ

✧ There are no days better in the sight of Allah, Exalted be He, than the ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah. A man said: 'O Messenger of Allah, are they better or their equivalent in jihad in the path of Allah, Exalted be He?' He said: 'They are better than their equivalent in jihad in the path of Allah, except a man who goes out with his life and wealth and returns with none of that.' And there is no day better in the sight of Allah, Exalted be He, than the Day of Arafah. Allah, Exalted be He, descends to the lowest heaven and says: 'Look at My servants, disheveled and dusty, performing Hajj, coming from every deep valley. They have not seen My mercy or My punishment.' No day is seen in which more are freed from the Fire than the Day of Arafah.
