Combining the Prophet’s generosity in Ramadan with the virtue of deeds in the ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah

The questioner : How do we combine the virtue of righteous deeds in the ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah with the fact that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was at his most generous in Ramadan? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : Yes, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was at his most generous in Ramadan regarding the bestowal of good and kindness, because it is the month of the generosity and bounty of Allah the Exalted. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would expose himself to the generosity of Allah the Exalted by what he gave of physical and financial benefit, because whoever is generous to the servants of Allah, Allah is generous to them.
As for the month of Dhu al-Hijjah, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned a verbal sunnah (recommended practice). And if a statement is established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), then we are not in need of the action being established in terms of application. And whoever claims that a statement is not acted upon until its application is established has spoken recklessly. So if a statement is established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), it is obligatory to act upon it, whether we know that it was applied or we do not know, because the default is application until evidence arises for non-application. And if non-application is found, then there must be a cause preventing the application, and specific cases, as we know, are not limited.
