Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah. As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu
Praise be to Allaah; we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allaah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.
In the Holy Quran Chapter 89: 1-2 Allah says: ‘’By the Break of Day (1) By the Nights twice five; (2)’’وَٱلۡفَجۡرِ (١) وَلَيَالٍ عَشۡرٍ۬
Al-Fajr refers to the day of sacrifice, on an-Nahr, (al-Qurtabi 20:39) and ten nights refers to the (first) ten days of Dhul Hijja(at-Tabari 24:396) as mentioned in Ibn Kather in his Tafseer.
The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said; "There are No days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allaah than these 10 days." [Bukhaari]. The companions asked: ‘’O Messenger of Allah. Not even Jihad in the path of Allah?’’ He replied: ’Not even Jihad in the path of Allah, except a man who sets forth with his soul and his wealth and returns with neither.’’ (Sahih Al-Bukhari)
وَيَذۡڪُرُواْ ٱسۡمَ ٱللَّهِ فِىٓ أَيَّامٍ۬ مَّعۡلُومَـٰتٍ
In the Holy Quran chapter 22:28; Allah says: ‘’and celebrate the name of Allah, through the Days appointed’’ Ibn Abbas (RA) said: ‘’This refers to the ten days of Dhul Hijja’’ (Fath-ul-Bari 2/457)
The Prophet (SAW) said: "There are No days greater in the sight of Allaah or in which good deeds are more beloved to Him, then these ten days, so recite a great deal of Tahlil(("La ilaaha ill-Allaah"),
Takbeer (Allaahu Akbar) and Tahmeed (Al Hamdu Lil-laah) during them."(Reported by Ahmed, Al-Tabarani and Abu Awanah. It is hasan (good) due to corroborating reports).
Takbeer (Allaahu Akbar) and Tahmeed (Al Hamdu Lil-laah) during them."(Reported by Ahmed, Al-Tabarani and Abu Awanah. It is hasan (good) due to corroborating reports).
1) In a Hadith; Umm Salama reported (these words) directly from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him): If anyone has in his possession a sacrificial animal to offer as a sacrifice (on Eid al-Adha), he should not get his hair cut and nails trimmed after he has entered the first days of Dhu'l Hijja (Muslim Book 22 No 4871). Fasting the day of 'Arafah is a supererogatory act (Nafil / Tatawwo).
2) In a Hadith; The Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) has urged people to fast this day. Abu Qataadah narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was asked about observing the fast on the day of 'Arafah, (9th of Dhu'I-Hijja), whereupon he said: It expiates the sins of the preceding year and the coming year. (Muslim Book 6 No 2603) [Narrated by Muslim Book 6 No 2603, Abu Dawood, aI-Nasaa'e and Ibn Maajah animal]. {Fasting the day of 'Arafah is only for those who are not performing Hajj.}
3) In a hadith; Prophet's(S.A.W.) orders to take both women and young children to Eid Prayers place for the sake of Muslims' religious gathering and Invocation
Hadith Narrated Um-`Atiya: We were ordered to go out (for Eid) and also to take along with us the menstruating women, mature girls and virgins staying in seclusion. (Ibn `Aun said, "Or mature virgins staying in seclusion)." The menstruating women could present themselves at the religious gathering and invocation of Muslims but should keep away from their Musalla. (Bukhari 2/97)
4) In a Hadith; Narrated Ibn `Abbas: I (in my boyhood) went out with the Prophet (S.A.W.) on the day of Eid ul Fitr or Eid-ul-Adha. The Prophet prayed and then delivered the Khutba and then went towards the women, preached and advised them and ordered them to give alms. (Bukhari 2/92)
5) In a Hadith; Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet said, "No good deeds done on other days are superior to those done on these (first ten days of Dhul Hijja)." Then some companions of the Prophet said, "Not even Jihad?" He 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." (Bukhari 2/86)

"There are No days greater in the sight of Allaah (including Ramadhaan) & in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Him than these 10 days, so during this time recite a great deal of Tahleel
("La ilaaha ill-Allaah"), Takbeer (Allaahu Akbar) and Tahmeed (Al Hamdu Lil-laah)." [Ahmad]
There are several other hadiths expressing the superiority of doing ibada (Worship) during the first ten days of Dhul-Hajjah; the scholars state that the daytimes (Fajir to Magrib) of the first days of Dhul Hajjah are more virtues than the daytimes of Ramadan.

A Sunnah of the Prophet (SAW): "When you see the new moon of Dhul-Hijjah, if any one of you wants to offer a sacrifice, then he should stop cutting his hair and nails until he has offered his sacrifice." [Muslim]
A Sunnah: "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to fast on the first 9 days of Dhul-Hijjah and the day of ‘Ashoora’, and 3 days each month - the first Monday and 2 Thursdays of the month". [Nasaa’i, Abu Dawood]
Fasting on the Day of ‘Arafaah. He (SAW) said, "It expiates for the sins of the previous year and of the coming year." [Muslim]
"There is no day on which Allaah frees more people from the Fire than the Day of ‘Arafaah. He comes close and expresses His pride to the angels, saying, ‘What do these people want?’" [Muslim]TAKBEER OF TASHREEQ:After each Fardh Salaah it is Wajib to Recite loudly (for men) from Fajr of 9th Dhul Hijjah until Asr of 13th Dhul Hijjah:
"Allaahu Akbar, Allaahu Akbar,
Laa ilaaha il-lAllaahu,
WAllaahu Akbar, Allaahu Akbar,
Wa Lil-laahil-hamd
(Allaah is the Greatest, Allaah is the Greatest, there is no god but Allaah; Allaah is the Greatest and to Allaah be all praise),"

SLAUGHTERING SACRIFICE IS TO SAY THIS:
The late Sheikh Ibn `Uthaymeen, a prominent Saudi Muslim scholar (May Allah shower mercy on his soul), said: The sunnah for one who wants to slaughter the udhiyah (sacrifice) is to say this when slaughtering it: “Bismillaah, wa Allahu akbar, Allahumma haadha minka wa laka, haadha ‘anni. Allahumma taqabbal minni wa min aali.” (In the name of Allah, Allah is most great. O Allah, this is from You and to You. This is on my behalf. O Allah, accept it from me and from my family.)
Or if it is being offered on behalf of someone else, say this:
“Bismillaah, wa Allahu akbar, Allahumma haadha minka wa laka, haadha ‘an (the person’s name), Allahumma taqabbal min (the person’s name), wa aali (the person’s name).” (In the name of Allah, Allah is most great. O Allah, this is from You and to You. This is on behalf of the person’s name. O Allah, accept this from the person’s name and from the family of the person’s name.)
DESCRIPTION OF THE TAKBEER:
It was narrated in the Musannaf of Ibn Abi Shaybah with a saheeh isnaad from Ibn Mas’ood (may Allaah be pleased with him) that he used to recite takbeer during the days of tashreeq:
Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, laa ilaaha ill-Allaah, wa Allaahu akbar, Allaah akbar, wa Lillaah il-hamd (Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is most Great, there is no god but Allaah, Allaah is Most great, Allaah is most great, and to Allaah be praise).
It was also narrated elsewhere by Ibn Abi Shaybah with the same isnaad, but with the phrase “Allaahu akbar” repeated three times.
Al-Mahaamili narrated with a saheeh isnaad also from Ibn Mas’ood: “Allaahu akbaru kabeera, Allaahu akbaru kabeera, Allaahu akbar wa Ajallu, Allaahu akbar wa Lillaah il-hamd (Allaah is Most Great indeed, Allaah is Most Great indeed, Allaah is most Great and Glorified, Allaah is Most Great and to Allaah be praise).”
