اُردوEn
وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَبَلَةَ ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَرْوَانَ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ - قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : 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 .
According to the narration of Imam Abu Ya'la, Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are no days more virtuous with Allah, Glorified and Exalted, than the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah." A man said: "O Messenger of Allah, are these days more virtuous even than fighting jihad in the path of Allah for the same number of days?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, they are more virtuous even than fighting jihad in the path of Allah for that many days, except for the fighter who is rolled in the dust of the battlefield (against the enemy), that is, who attains martyrdom. And there is no day more virtuous with Allah Almighty than the Day of Arafah. Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, descends (on that day) to the lowest heaven and says: 'Look at these servants of Mine, dishevelled and covered in dust, (coming) for Hajj, "coming from every distant pass" [Surah al-Hajj: 27]. They have seen neither My mercy nor My punishment.' So on no day other than the Day of Arafah are so many people freed from the Fire."
This blessed hadith establishes the greatness of the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, and especially the unparalleled virtue of the Day of Arafah, on which the all-embracing mercy of the Most Generous Lord surges and He takes pride before the angels in forgiving His servants who are performing Hajj.
