It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) that when it was the day of 10th Dhul-Hijjah at Mina, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mounted a camel, and a man was holding its rein. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What day is this today?" We remained silent, thinking that perhaps the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would give this day another name. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) himself said: "Is it not the Day of Sacrifice (Yawm al-Nahr)?" He then narrated the hadith as in the previous narration.

(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when it was the day of the tenth of Dhul-Hijjah in Mina, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mounted his camel and stood upon it and said: "Do you know what day it is today?" Then, the teacher of Imam Ahmad, Hawdhah bin Khalifah, narrated the hadith in the same manner as the other teacher of Imam Ahmad, Muhammad bin Abi Adi. In it, these words are also present: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Beware! Those who are present here should convey these words to those who are not present." He said this twice and then said: "Sometimes it happens that those to whom the message is conveyed remember it better than those who conveyed it." After this, he took his camel and went towards the goats and began distributing one goat among every two or three people.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage: "O people! What day is this?" The Companions said: "It is a sacred day." He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What city is this?" The Companions said: "It is a sacred city." He (peace and blessings be upon him) then asked: "What month is this?" The Companions said: "It is a sacred month." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your wealth, your blood, and your honor are as sacred to one another as the sanctity of this day, in this city, in this month." He repeated these words several times. After that, he (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head towards the sky and said several times: "Have I conveyed the message to the people?" Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say: "By Allah! This was the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entrusting Allah with a will regarding the rights of the Ummah." After this, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Beware! Those who are present should convey these words to those who are not present. O people! Do not become disbelievers after me, striking the necks of one another."

It is narrated from Abdul Majeed Aqili, who says: We set out with the intention of Hajj during the era of Yazid bin Muhallab. He told us that in the region of Al-Aaliyah there is a place called Az-Zujayj. After performing the rites of Hajj, we reached Az-Zujayj. We made our mounts sit down and walked to a well where many elders were present. They had dyed their beards and were conversing among themselves. Abdul Majeed says: We asked them if there was a person here who had the honor of the company of Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Where is his house? They told us that indeed he is a companion of the Messenger and this is his house. We went to his house, greeted him with salam, and he allowed us to enter. He was quite old and was lying down. His name was ‘Ada bin Khalid Kilabi. I asked: Are you the elder who had the honor of the company of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? He said: Yes, if it were not night now, I would have read to you the letter that Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) wrote to me. He asked: Who are you people? We replied: We have come from Basra. He said: Welcome. What is Yazid bin Muhallab doing? We replied: There, he is calling towards the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: What business does he have with them? What is his connection with them? I asked: Then whom should we support, the people of Sham or Yazid? He said: If you remain neutral and sit apart, you will be successful. Abdul Majeed reported: I remember that he repeated this three times. Then he said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of Arafah. He (peace and blessings be upon him) was standing with his feet in the stirrups of his camel and was proclaiming in a loud voice: O people! What day is this? The companions replied: Allah and His Messenger know best. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What month is this? The companions replied: Allah and His Messenger know best. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What city is this? The companions replied: Allah and His Messenger know best. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is a sacred day, this is a sacred month, this is a sacred city. Beware! Indeed, your blood and your wealth are sacred to one another just as the sanctity of this day, in this city, and in this month, until the Day of Judgment. He will hold you accountable for your deeds on the Day of Judgment. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) raised both his hands towards the sky and said: O Allah! Bear witness over them, O Allah! Bear witness over them. He (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated this statement several times. I do not remember exactly how many times he (peace and blessings be upon him) said it.

It is narrated from Abu Hurrah Raqashi, who narrates from his uncle, he said: During the days of Tashreeq, I was holding the reins of the camel of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, keeping people away from him. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: O people! Do you know in which month, on which day, and in which city you are at this time? The Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, replied: We are in a sacred day, in a sacred month, and in a sacred city. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Your blood, your wealth, and your honor are forbidden to one another until the Day of Judgment, just as the sanctity of this day, in this month, and in this city is forbidden. Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Listen to my words, you will live after me, beware! Do not oppress anyone, beware! Do not commit excess, beware! Do not commit injustice, no one's wealth is lawful for another except with his heartfelt consent. Beware! Every blood, wealth, and boastful matter of the Age of Ignorance is now under my feet until the Day of Judgment. Rabee'ah bin Harith bin Abdul Muttalib, who was being raised among Banu Laith and was killed by Banu Huzail, we were to take revenge for him, but I am the first to forgive his killing. And every usury of the Age of Ignorance is forgiven, and Allah Almighty has decided this. The first usury I forgive is that of Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib, may Allah be pleased with him, which he was to collect from people. You may take your principal amounts. You have no right to oppress anyone, nor does anyone have the right to oppress you. Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, recited this verse: {إِنَّ عِدَّۃَ الشُّہُورِ عِنْدَ اللّٰہِ اثْنَا عَشَرَ شَہْرًا فِی کِتَابِ اللّٰہِ یَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ مِنْہَا أَرْبَعَۃٌ حُرُمٌ ذَلِکَ الدِّینُ الْقَیِّمُ فَلَا تَظْلِمُوا فِیہِنَّ أَنْفُسَکُمْ} … Since the day Allah created the heavens and the earth, indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve; of them, four are sacred. That is the right religion, so do not wrong yourselves therein. (Surah At-Tawbah: 36) Beware! Do not turn back after me as disbelievers, striking the necks of one another. Beware! Satan has despaired of being worshipped by those who pray, but he will continue to sow discord and enmity among you. Fear Allah regarding women. They are your servants. They have no control over themselves. Indeed, they have many rights over you and you have many rights over them. Their responsibility is that they do not allow anyone you dislike to sit on your bed, and do not allow anyone you dislike to enter your house. If you fear disobedience from your wives, first admonish them, then separate from their beds, and if you beat them, do not beat them severely. Humaid says: I asked Hasan Basri what is meant by "severely"? He said: Do not beat them so much that marks appear on their bodies. Their right is that you provide them food and clothing in a reasonable manner or according to your ability. You have taken them as a trust from Allah. And you have made their private parts lawful for yourselves according to the religion of Allah. If anyone among you is entrusted with a trust by someone, he should return it. Then he said: Beware! Have I conveyed the message of Allah to you? Beware! Have I conveyed the religion of Allah to you? Then he said: Those who are present here should convey these words to those who are not present. Sometimes it happens that those to whom the message is conveyed understand and remember it better than those who heard it directly. Humaid narrated that when Hasan Basri reached this statement, he said: By Allah, the Companions conveyed these words to such people who understood and remembered them better.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Qais bin ‘Aidh (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delivering a sermon while riding a she-camel whose nose or ear was cut, and an Abyssinian slave (Sayyiduna Bilal, may Allah be pleased with him) was holding its rein. During the days when Mukhtar bin Abi ‘Ubaid Thaqafi rose to prominence, Sayyiduna Qais (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away in those days.

(Second chain) It is narrated from Abu Kahil, he says: I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, delivering a sermon on the day of Eid while riding a she-camel whose ear and nose were cut, and an Abyssinian slave was holding its rein.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When the Day of Resurrection comes, I will be the leader of the Prophets and their speaker, and I will be the one who intercedes for them, while I do not take pride in this.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: My Lord has given me superiority over the rest of the Prophets (or the rest of the nations) in four things: I have been sent to all people, the entire surface of the earth has been made a place of prostration and a means of purification for me and my Ummah, for any person, wherever the time of prayer comes, his mosque and means of purification are right there with him, Allah has helped me through awe and fear, when I am still a month’s journey away from the enemy, Allah casts my awe into the hearts of my enemies, and He has made the spoils of war lawful for us.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: On the Day of Resurrection, Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, will be the leader of all the children of Adam.
