It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked the people on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage: Which day is the most sacred? They said: This very day of ours. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Which month is the most sacred? They said: This very month of Dhu al-Hijjah of ours. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Which city is the most sacred? They said: This very city of ours. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then indeed your blood and your wealth are as inviolable among you as the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this city of yours.
