\nNarrated Abu Bakra:\n\n
The Prophet delivered to us a sermon on the Day of Nahr. He said, \"Do you know what is the day \ntoday?\" We said, \"Allah and His Apostle know better.\" He remained silent till we thought that he \nmight give that day another name. He said, \"Isn't it the Day of Nahr?\" We said, \"It is.\" He further \nasked, \"Which month is this?\" We said, \"Allah and His Apostle know better.\" He remained silent till \nwe thought that he might give it another name. He then said, \"Isn't it the month of Dhul-Hijja?\" We \nreplied: \"Yes! It is.\" He further asked, \"What town is this?\" We replied, \"Allah and His Apostle know \nit better.\" He remained silent till we thought that he might give it another name. He then said, \"Isn't it \nthe forbidden (Sacred) town (of Mecca)?\" We said, \"Yes. It is.\" He said, \"No doubt, your blood and \nyour properties are sacred to one another like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours, \nin this town of yours, till the day you meet your Lord. No doubt! Haven't I conveyed Allah's message \nto you? They said, \"Yes.\" He said, \"O Allah! Be witness. So it is incumbent upon those who are \npresent to convey it (this information) to those who are absent because the informed one might \ncomprehend it (what I have said) better than the present audience, who will convey it to him. Beware! \nDo not renegade (as) disbelievers after me by striking the necks (cutting the throats) of one another.\"","english_grade":"Sahih","last_updated":null,"xrefs":""}
