The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "No deeds done in any other days are better than those done in these ten days."The Companions asked, "Not even jihad?"He replied, "Not even jihad, except for a man who goes out risking his life and his wealth and returns with nothing."
قال رسول الله ﷺ: ((ما العمل في أيام العشر أفضل من العمل في هذه)). قالوا: ولا الجهاد؟ قال: ((ولا الجهاد، إلا رجل خرج يخاطر بنفسه وماله، فلم يرجع بشيء)).
