Virtues of the Ten Days of Dhul Hijjah

Among the special seasons of worship are the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, which Allaah has preferred over all the other days of the year. Ibn Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him and his father) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allaah than these ten days." The people asked, "Not even jihaad for the sake of Allaah?" He said, "Not even jihaad for the sake of Allaah, except in the case of a man who went out to fight giving himself and his wealth up for the cause, and came back with nothing." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 2/457).

The one who wants to offer a sacrifice :

It was narrated from Umm Salamah (may Allaah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: When you see the new moon of Dhul-Hijjah, and one of you wants to offer a sacrifice, let him refrain from (removing anything) from his hair or nails. Narrated by Muslim, 1977. According to another version: Let him not remove anything of his hair or skin.
This hadeeth indicates that it is not allowed to remove anything from the hair or nails after the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah begin, for the one who wants to offer a sacrifice.

Virtue of Fasting on the day of Arafah

It was narrated from Abu Qataadah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was asked about fasting on the day of Arafah and he said: It expiates for the past and coming years.Narrated by Muslim (1162).
