عن أبي هُرَيرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنه أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَليهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَن صَلَّى عَلَيَّ وَاحِدَةً صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيهِ عَشرًا وَمَن صَلَّى عَلَيَّ عَشرًا صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيهِ مِائَةً وَ مَن صَلَّى عَلَيَّ مِائَةً صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيهِ اَلْفًا وَ مَنْ زَادَ صَبَابَةً وَ شَوقًا كُنتُ لَه شَفِيعًا وَ شَهِيدًا …

It is reported that Hazrat Ali I mentioned that on this day, Allah F emancipates more people from the fire of Jahannum than on any other day. Hazrat Ali I would also make the following dua on the day of Arafah and encouraged some of his companions to make the same dua:
