Ibn Al-Qayyim:
Sadaqah
has many benefits:
• It
repels the punishment of the grave.
• It
repels afflictions.
• It
extinguishes mistakes.
• Gladdens
the heart.
• Pushes
away Shaytaan.

Al-Bayhaqi
reported from Mujāhid that,
“Once
the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah began, Sa’eed bin Jubayr (radiyallāhu ‘anhu) would
exert himself in obedience to Allah such that it was almost beyond his
capacity.”

Ibn ‘Abbās (radiyallāhu
‘anhumā) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) said:
مَا مِنْ أَيَّامٍ الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ فِيهَا أَحَبُّ إِلَى
اللَّهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ الأَيَّامِ ” . يَعْنِي أَيَّامَ الْعَشْرِ . قَالُوا يَا
رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ ” وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ
فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ
مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِشَىْءٍ
“There are no days during which righteous deeds are more beloved
to Allah than these ten,” meaning the ten of Dhul-Hijjah. They said: “O
Messenger of Allah, not even Jihād in Allah’s cause?” He
replied: “Not even Jihād in Allah’s cause, except
for the man who left out with life and his wealth and does not return back.”
(Abu Dawud, no. 2438 and graded saheeh by Al-Albāni)

Al-Bukhāri (no. 971) reported from Umm ‘Atiyyah (radiyallāhu anhā):
“We were commanded to come out on the day of
‘Eid and to bring out the virgin girls from their houses and menstruating women
so that they might stand behind the men and say takbīr along with them and
supplicate to Allah along with them and hope for the blessings of that day and
for purification from sins.”
The Day of ‘Eid and
the ‘Eid Prayer: Obligations, Sunan and Celebration ―From Al-Fawzān, Ibn
‘Uthaimīn, Al-Albāni, Al-Baghawi and others

Al-Imam
An-Nawawi said:
This
day (the day of Arafah) is the best day
of the year for prayer, so it is necessary
that a person exhaust his effort
in dhikr, prayer and the recitation of the Qur’ān. And he should pray with the
various types of du’aa; he should pray for himself, his parents, his family,
his teachers, his companions, his friends, his beloveds, all those who did good
to him and the Muslims generally. And he should be careful; totally careful from being inadequate regarding all
of that. For indeed this day can not be attained again (once it is lost).

Dardaa’ رضي الله عنه said:
“Allaah’s
Messenger ﷺ advised me with regard to nine things:
1. Do
not associate anything with Allaah in His worship, even if you are cut to
pieces or burnt.
2. Do
not abandon the obligatory Prayer deliberately.
And whoever abandons it deliberately will lose Allaah’s protection.
3. Do
not drink alcohol, for indeed it is the key to every evil.
4. Obey
your parents (in the permissible matters), even if they command you to abandon your
worldly possessions, then leave it for their sake.
5. Do
not contend with those in authority (Leaders), even if you think you are more
capable.
6. Do
not run away from the army when it advances, even if you are killed and your
companions flee.
7. Spend
on your wife out of your means.
8. Do
not raise a stick against your wife.
9. Command
(teach and nurture) your family to fear Allaah, the Mighty and Exalted.”
