Abu Nadrah says: The person who heard the sermon of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, in the middle of the days of Tashreeq narrated to me, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: O people! Your Lord is one and your father is one. Beware! No Arab has any superiority over a non-Arab, nor does a non-Arab have any superiority over an Arab; neither a white person over a black person, nor a black person over a white person—except by piety. Have I conveyed the message of Allah to you? The companions said: The Messenger of Allah has conveyed the message of Allah. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, asked: What day is this today? The companions said: Today is a sacred day. He asked: What month is this? The companions replied: This is a sacred month. Then he, peace and blessings be upon him, inquired: What city is this? The companions said: This is a sacred city. He said: Allah the Exalted has made your blood, your wealth, and your honor forbidden to one another, just as the sanctity of this day, in this month, in this city. Have I conveyed the message of Allah to you? The companions said: The Messenger of Allah has conveyed the message. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Those who are present here should convey these words to those who are not present.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Bishr bin Suhaim (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon during the days of Hajj in the days of Tashreeq and said: Only that person will enter Paradise who is a Muslim, and these (days of Tashreeq) are days of eating and drinking.

A man from Banu Bakr narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed the people at Mina while he (peace be upon him) was on his mount, and we were standing in front of the mount near the Jamrah.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said at the beginning of the day on the tenth of Dhul-Hijjah, while he was in Mina: "Tomorrow we will stay at Khayf Bani Kinana, where the disbelievers had sworn oaths against the Muslims." By this, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, meant the valley of Muhassab. The details of this are that the Quraysh and Banu Kinana had made an agreement at this place against Banu Hashim and Banu Muttalib that they would neither marry with them nor buy or sell with them until they handed over the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, to them.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), while narrating the story of her Umrah after Hajj, says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him): Go with your sister (Aisha) and have her perform the Tawaf of the House of Allah and the Sa’i between Safa and Marwah, so that she may complete her Umrah, then bring her back to me, but before I spend the night at Hasbah (that is, return during the night). Lady (may Allah be pleased with her) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed there only because of me. The words of another narration are as follows: The Lady (may Allah be pleased with her) says: You (peace and blessings be upon him) departed from Mina and stayed in the valley of Muhassab. By Allah! You stayed there only because of me.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that there is no legal status for staying in the valley of Muhassab; it is merely a place where the Messenger of Allah stayed.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) did not consider staying in the valley of Abtah (i.e., the valley of Muhassab) to have any religious significance. Rather, he used to say regarding it that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed there (coincidentally) because of Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her).
