Five TestamentsIt is recommended to say the following five testaments on the first ten days of Dhu’l-Hijjah:Archangel Gabriel has conveyed these five testaments as gift of Almighty Allah to Prophet Jesus (as) and instructed him to say them on the first ten days of Dhu’l-Hijjah.An excellent reward has been mentioned to be for whoever repeats these five statements one hundred times each day. However, `All¡mah al-Majlis¢ says that it is not improbable that each of these five testaments is repeated ten times each day. Yet, to repeat them one hundred times is better
