It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked the companions during the Farewell Pilgrimage sermon on the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah: "Which day is the most sacred?" The companions replied: "Today." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Which month is the most sacred?" The companions replied: "This month of ours." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then remember, your lives and your wealth are as sacred to each other as the sanctity of this day, in this month, in this city. Have I conveyed the message of Allah?" They said: "Yes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah, bear witness."
