Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) concerning this saying of Allah Almighty, Allah Almighty says: "And by the ten nights." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This means the first ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah." "And by the even and the odd." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The even means the day of Eid al-Adha, and the odd means the Day of Arafah."
Al-Bazzar and Ahmad recorded it, and the narrators of both are the narrators of the Sahih, except Ayyash bin Uqbah, and he is thiqah (trustworthy).
