Question:
Is it established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he fasted the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah?
Answer:
What is established is that it is narrated from her with a chain that has some irregularity; Aisha said: He did not use to fast them. It is also narrated from Hafsa that he used to fast them, but there is some irregularity in its chain. However, fasting them is a recommended practice (sunnah); because of his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Riyad as-Salihin 1249 Al-Bukhari narrated it in his Sahih. Likewise, Ahmad narrated it with a good chain: , Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I do not know that he fasted them. It is also narrated from Hafsa that he used to fast them, but with a chain that has some irregularity.

There are no days during which the righteous action is so pleasing to Allah than these days (i.e., the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah)
ما من أيام العمل الصالح فيها خير وأحب إلى الله من هذه الأيام العشرThere are no days in which righteous deeds are greater in the sight of Allah and more beloved to Him than these ten days; so increase in them the glorification, praise, and magnification of Allah.
ما من أيام أعظم عند الله ولا أحب إليه العمل فيهن من هذه الأيام العشر؛ فأكثروا فيهن من التهليل والتحميد والتكبير(Lectures on the Explanation of Bulugh al-Maram, Book of Hajj and 'Umrah)
