4.   He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘There is no day more superior and beloved before Allah Almighty than these 10 days of Hajj, therefore, recite ‘سُبْحَانَ اﷲِِ، اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰھِ ،لَاۤاِلٰہَ اِلَّا اﷲُ ،اَﷲُ اَکْبَرُ’ abundantly during these days.’ In another narration, it is mentioned to recite ‘سُبْحَانَ اﷲِِ’, ‘اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰھِ’, ‘لَاۤاِلٰہَ اِلَّا اﷲُ’ abundantly and perform the Zikr of Allah in abundance during these days, and that the fast of one day is equal to the fast of one year, and an action is multiplied 700 times during these days.’ (Shu’ab-ul-Iman, vol. 3, p. 356, Raqm 3758)

5.   He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘The action performed during the 10 days of Hajj is more beloved to Allah Almighty than the action performed in other days.’ The Noble Sahabah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُم asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Even fighting in the way of Allah?’ He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied, ‘Yes! Even fighting in the way of Allah, except for that individual who goes out with his life and wealth and does not return with any of them.’ (Bukhari, vol. 1, p. 333, Hadith 969)
