Al Maghaazi - 16th Muharram 1426 (26 February 2005)
Narrated by Abu Bakra (Radhiallaho anho):
The Prophet (sallallaahu'alaihi wasallam) said, "Time has
taken its original shape which it had when Allah created the
Heavens and the Earth. The year is of twelve months, four of
which are sacred, and out of these (four) three are in
succession, i.e. Dhul-Qa'da, Dhul-Hijja and Al-Muharram, and
the fourth is Rajab which is named after the Mudar tribe,
between (the month of) Jumaida (ath-thania) and Sha'ban." Then
the Prophet asked, "Which is this month?" We said, "Allah and
His Messenger know better." On that the Prophet kept quiet so
long that we thought that he might name it with another name.
Then the Prophet said, "Isn't it the month of Dhul-Hijja?" We
replied, "Yes." Then he said, "Which town is this?" We
replied, "Allah and His Messenger know better." On that he
kept quiet so long that we thought that he might name it with
another name. Then he said, "Isn't it the town of Mecca?" We
replied, "Yes," Then he said, "Which day is today?" We
replied, "Allah and His Messenger know better." He kept quiet
so long that we thought that he might name it with another
name. Then he said, "Isn't it the day of An-Nahr (i.e.
sacrifice)?" We replied, "Yes." He said, "So your blood, your
properties, (the sub-narrator Muhammad said, 'I think the
Prophet also said: And your honor') are sacred to one another
like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this city of yours,
in this month of yours; and surely, you will meet your Lord,
and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Do not become
infidels after me, cutting the throats of one another. It is
incumbent on those who are present to convey this message (of
mine) to those who are absent. May be that some of those to
whom it will be conveyed will understand it better than
those who have actually heard it." (The sub-narrator,
Muhammad, on remembering that narration, used to say,
"Muhammad spoke the truth!") He (i.e. Prophet) then added
twice, "No doubt! Haven't I conveyed (Allah's Message) to
you?"
