Superiority of deeds on first 10 days of dhul hijjah

The Prophet H said: No good deeds done

on other days are superior to those done on
these (first ten days of Dhul Hijjah). Then some
companions of the Prophet H said: Not
even Jihad? He H replied: Not even
Jihad, except that of a man who does it by
putting himself and his property in danger (for
Allah's sake) and does not return with any of
those things.
Sahih Al-bukhari : 969

The prescribed deeds during the 10 days of Dhul hajj

The prophet H said:

Nothing is more magnificent and
beloved before Allah E than the deeds
perfomed during these ten days (of dhul hajj).
Therefore increase therein in Tahleel(La ilaha
illallah), Takbeer (Allahu Akbar) and Tahmeed
(Alhamdhulillah). Mu’jam kabeer of Imam Ath-thabarani

Weak hadees regarding

fasting on first ten days of dhul hajj

Hafsah J reported, "There are four things that

the Messenger H never abandoned: fasting
the day of 'Ashura, fasting the [first] 10 [days of
Dhul-Hijjah], fasting 3 days of every month and
praying two Rak'ah before the dawn prayer." [This
is related by Ahmad and an-Nasa'i]

Hunaydah ibn Khaalid reported from his wife
that some of the wives of the Prophet H
said: "The Prophet H used to fast on the
ninth of Dhul-Hijjah (Arafah), on the day of
`Aashooraa', on three days of each month, and
on the first two Mondays and Thursdays of each
month."
(Reported by al-Nisaa'e and by Abu Dawud)

 Virtue of fasting on the day of Arafa

He H was asked about fasting on the

day of 'Arafa (9th of Dhu'I-Hijja), whereupon
he H said: It expiates the sins of the
preceding year and the coming year.
Saheeh Muslim 1162

Prohibited things for those who give

Qurbani

The Messenger of Allah H said:

Whoever among you sees the new crescent
of Dhul-Hijjah and wants to offer a sacrifice,
let him not take anything from his hair or
nails.

 Presenting the Sunnah between
the hands of Ummah

Even after something proven from Al-Quran

and As-Sunnah upon the footstep of Sahaba
and we don't follow it because of the absence of
a scholar's opinion in it is known as Taqleed.
