Ibn Madga’s As-Sunan; 2/1300:
Title: After Me, Return Not To Atheism By Beheading Each Other:
Jarir Bin Abdillah: During the Farewell Pilgrimage, the Prophet (peace be upon him) asked people to keep silent. He said, “After me, return not to atheism by beheading each other.”
Ibn Omar: The Prophet (peace be upon him) stated, “Woe is you! After me, return not to atheism by beheading each other.”
As-Sennaj Al-Ahmesi: The Prophet (peace be upon him) stated, “I will precede you to the Divine Pool. I will take pride in you among the other nations. After me, do not fight each other.”
In Majma’uzzawaid, this is an authentic report with trustful narrators.
At-Tirmithi’s As-Sunan; 2/62:
… Abu Umama: During the Farewell Pilgrimage, I heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) say, “Beware of your duty to Allah, and perform the five prayers, and fast on that month, and defray the poor rate, and comply with your leaders and you shall be taken to the Paradise of your Lord.”
Abu Umama confesses that he heard this prophetic saying when he was thirty years old.
Abu Isa: This narrative is qualified with a rather doubtful narrator. It is, however, decided as authentic.
Ahmed’s Al-Musnad; 5/412:
… A man from the Prophet’s companions: The Prophet (peace be upon him) was on the back of his red she-camel when he asked, “Do you realize which day is today?”
“It is the Nahr Day,” answered we.
“You are true,” replied the Prophet, “It is the Grand Pilgrimage Day. Which month is it?”
“It is Dhu’l-Hijja,” expressed we.
“You are true,” commented the Prophet, “It is the palatial month of God. Do you know which land is this?”
“It is the Holy Precinct,” answered we.
“You are true,” stated the Prophet, and added, “Your souls and estate are sanctified among you as same as the sanctification of this day in this month on this land. (Or: as same as the sanctification of this day, month and land.”)
I will precede you to the Divine Pool. I will look at you as I will take pride in you among the other nations. Blacken not my face. You have seen and listened to me. You shall be asked about me. He whoever deliberately forges lies against me, should seek himself a place in the hell-fire. I will save some people, and others will be taken away from me. I will say, ‘O Lord! They are my companions.’ I will be answered, ‘You lack knowledge of what they did after you.’”
Majma’uzzawaid; 3/265:
Title: Sermons Of The Pilgrimage:
Abu Harra Ar-Reqqashi: His uncle: In the middle of the Tashriq days, I was catching the riddle of the Prophet’s she-camel. The Prophet spoke, “O people! Do you realize which day, month and land are these?”
“They are sanctified day, month and land,” answered peole.
“Your souls, estate and honor are as sanctified among you as this day in this month on this land, till the day on which you shall meet your Lord. Listen to me and you will live. Wrong not each other. Wrong not each other. Wrong not each other. It is illicit for any to have from a Muslim’s property unless satisfaction is obtained.
Every blood and estate of Jahilism should be under my feet till the Resurrection Day. The first revenge I am to revoke is Rabia Bin Al-Harith Bin Abdil-Muttelib’s. He was a baby at the Leith when the Hutheil killed him. Every usury that was in Jahilism is revoked. The Exalted Lord mandates that the first usury to be revoked is Al-Abbas Bin Abdil-Muttelib’s. You possess your capital, neither wronging nor wronged.
Time has rotated as same as the first day on which the Lord created the heavens and the earth. Surely the number of months with Allah is twelve months in Allah’s ordinance since the day when He created the heavens and the earth, of these four being sacred. That is the right reckoning; therefore, wrong not each other during them.
After me, return not to atheism by beheading each other.
The Satan despaired of being obeyed by the performers of prayers; but he is working on creating antagonism among you.
Fear God during treating your women. They are restrained at you. They have rights imposed upon you and you have rights imposed upon them. The rights imposed upon them are that they should not permit any to take your places in your beds, and they are not allowed to permit any you dislike to enter your houses. If you expect desertion of a women, you should admonish, and desert in the bed, and beat ineffectively. Their rights are that you should save their alimony and clothing. You have taken them by the trust of God, and you have consummated their privates by the word of God.
He whoever had a trust, should deliver it to the depositor.”
The Prophet then opened his hand and said, “Have I conveyed? Have I conveyed? The witness should inform the absent. An indirect receiver may happen to be more receptive than a direct hearer.”
(Abu Dawud dedicates this narration to the statements of beating women.)
(Ahmed and Abu Harra Ar-Reqqashi relates the narration. Abu Dawud rules its authenticity, while Ibn Muin decides its doubtfulness. One of the narrators is Ali Bin Zaid about whom there are some points noted by experts.)
Abu Nadra: A man heard the Prophet’s sermon addressed in the middle of the Tashriq days:
The Prophet (peace be upon him) stated, “O people! Your Lord is one. Your father is one. An Arab should not be preferred to a non-Arab, and a black should not preferred to a white except by criteria of god-fearing. Have I conveyed?”
“Yes, the messenger of God has conveyed,” people shouted.
“Which day is today?” asked the Prophet.
“It is a sanctified day,” people answered.
“Which land is this?” asked the Prophet.
“It is a sanctified land,” people shouted.
“God; the Exalted, has made your souls and estate (The Prophet might have added ‘and honor’ to his statement.) as sanctified as this day in this month on this land. Have I conveyed?” said the Prophet.
“Yes, the messenger of God has conveyed,” people admitted.
“The witness should inform the absent,” ordered the Prophet (peace be upon him).
(To a series of authentic narrators, Ahmed relates the previous report on page 72 of part 5.)
Ibn Omar: When this sura was revealed to the Prophet (peace be upon him) in Mina in the middle of the Tashriq days, he recognized the imminence of his death. He rode his pack animal; Al-Qaswa, and stood among people in Al-Aqaba. A great number of Muslims encompassed him. He orated:
“Praised and thanked be Allah.
O people! Every revenge that was in Jahilism is annulled. The first revenge I am to annul is Rabia Bin Al-Harith’s. The Hutheil killed him when he was a baby at the Leith.
Likewise, every usury that was concluded in the Jahilism is revoked. The first usury I am to revoke is Al-Abbas Bin Abdil-Muttelib’s.
O people! Time has rotated as same as it was when the Lord created the heavens and the earth. Number of months with Allah is twelve, four of which are sanctified. They are Rajab which falls between Jumada and Shaban, and Dhu’l-Qada and Dhu’l-Hijja and Muharram. That is the right reckoning; therefore, wrong not each other during them.
Postponing of the sacred months is only an addition in unbelief, wherewith those who disbelieve are led astray, violating it one year and keeping it sacred another, that they may agree the number of months that Allah has made sacred. They were violating Safar a year and keeping Muharram sacred the other. That is the postponing of the sacred months.
O people! He whoever had a trust, should deliver it to the depositor.
O people! The Satan despaired of being obeyed on this land in the last of time, but he pleased to be obeyed in your insignificant deeds. Take care of your religion against your insignificant deeds.
O people! Women are in your hands. You have taken them by the trust of God, and consummated their privates by the word of God. You have right imposed upon them and they have rights imposed upon you. Within your rights is that they should not let any take your places in your beds, and they should not disobey you in acceptable matters. If they do so, then you have no authority on them. They should enjoy their alimony and clothing in an acceptable way. If you beat them, you should not injure.
It is illicit for any to have from his brother’s property unless satisfaction is obtained.
