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.”
See Al-Irwā of Al-Albāni, no. 890

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.”
