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

خَطَبَنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ قَالَ أَتَدْرُونَ أَىُّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ بِغَيْرِ اسْمِهِ قَالَ أَلَيْسَ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ قُلْنَا بَلَى قَالَ أَىُّ شَهْرٍ هَذَا قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ بِغَيْرِ اسْمِهِ فَقَالَ أَلَيْسَ ذُو الْحَجَّةِ قُلْنَا بَلَى قَالَ أَىُّ بَلَدٍ هَذَا قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ بِغَيْرِ اسْمِهِ قَالَ أَلَيْسَتْ بِالْبَلْدَةِ الْحَرَامِ قُلْنَا بَلَى قَالَ فَإِنَّ دِمَاءَكُمْ وَأَمْوَالَكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ حَرَامٌ كَحُرْمَةِ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا فِي شَهْرِكُمْ هَذَا فِي بَلَدِكُمْ هَذَا إِلَى يَوْمِ تَلْقَوْنَ رَبَّكُمْ أَلاَ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْهَدْ فَلْيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ فَرُبَّ مُبَلَّغٍ أَوْعَى مِنْ سَامِعٍ فَلاَ تَرْجِعُوا بَعْدِي كُفَّارًا يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ  

Do you know which day is this? They said: Allah and His Messenger know best. (The Prophet [may peace be upon him] kept silent) until we thought that he would give that another name. He said: Is it not the day of Nahr (Sacrifice) (10th of Dhu'l- Hijja)? We said: Messenger of Allah, yes. He (again) said: Which month is it? We said: Allah and His Messenger knows best. He said: Is it not Dhu'l-Hijja? We said: Messenger of Allah, yes. He said: Which city is this? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He (the narrator) said (that the Prophet kept silent until we thought that he would give it another name besides its (original) name. He said: Is it not Balda (the city of Mecca)? We said: Yes, Messenger of Allah. He (then) said: Verily your blood (lives) and your property and your honour are as sacred unto you as sacred is this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this city of yours. Let him who is present convey it to one who is absent. He then turned his attention towards two multicoloured (black and white) rams and slaughtered them, and two goats, and distributed them amongst us.  

لَمَّا كَانَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ قَعَدَ عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ وَأَخَذَ إِنْسَانٌ بِخِطَامِهِ فَقَالَ أَتَدْرُونَ أَىَّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ سِوَى اسْمِهِ فَقَالَ أَلَيْسَ بِيَوْمِ النَّحْرِ قُلْنَا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَأَىُّ شَهْرٍ هَذَا قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ أَلَيْسَ بِذِي الْحِجَّةِ قُلْنَا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَأَىُّ بَلَدٍ هَذَا قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ سِوَى اسْمِهِ قَالَ أَلَيْسَ بِالْبَلْدَةِ قُلْنَا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَإِنَّ دِمَاءَكُمْ وَأَمْوَالَكُمْ وَأَعْرَاضَكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ حَرَامٌ كَحُرْمَةِ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا فِي شَهْرِكُمْ هَذَا فِي بَلَدِكُمْ هَذَا فَلْيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ قَالَ ثُمَّ انْكَفَأَ إِلَى كَبْشَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ فَذَبَحَهُمَا وَإِلَى جُزَيْعَةٍ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ فَقَسَمَهَا بَيْنَنَا  

[Machine] When that day came, the Prophet ﷺ sat on a camel and a man held its reins or bridle. The man asked, "Which day is this for you?" We remained silent, thinking that he would give it a different name. He then asked, "Is it not the day of sacrifice?" We replied, "Yes, it is." He asked again, "Which month is this for you?" Again, we remained silent, thinking that he would give it a different name. He then asked, "Is it not the month of Dhul-Hijjah?" We replied, "Yes, it is." He then asked, "Which city is this for you?" Again, we remained silent, thinking that he would give it a different name. He then asked, "Is it not this city of yours?" Again, we replied, "Yes, it is." He said, "Indeed, your blood, your wealth, and your honor are sacred to one another, just as the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this city of yours. So let the witness inform the absent, for perhaps the witness may convey it to one who is more heedful than him." Muhammad said, "A man spoke up and said, 'Indeed, the message has been delivered.'"  

لَمَّا كَانَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ قَعَدَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ وَأَخَذَ رَجُلٌ بِزِمَامِهِ أَوْ بِخِطَامِهِ فَقَالَ أَيُّ يَوْمٍ يَوْمُكُمْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ فَسَكَتْنَا حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ سِوَى اسْمِهِ قَالَ أَلَيْسَ بِالنَّحْرِ؟ قَالَ قُلْنَا بَلَى قَالَ فَأَيُّ شَهْرٍ شَهْرُكُمْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ فَسَكَتْنَا حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ سِوَى اسْمِهِ فَقَالَ أَلَيْسَ بِذِي الْحِجَّةِ؟ قَالَ قُلْنَا بَلَى قَالَ فَأَيُّ بَلَدٍ بَلَدُكُمْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ فَسَكَتْنَا حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ سِوَى اسْمِهِ فَقَالَ أَلَيْسَ بِالْبَلْدَةِ؟ قَالَ قُلْنَا بَلَى قَالَ فَإِنَّ دِمَاءَكُمْ وَأَمْوَالَكُمْ وَأَعْرَاضَكُمْ بَيْنَكُمْ حَرَامٌ كَحُرْمَةِ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا فِي شَهْرِكُمْ هَذَا فِي بَلَدِكُمْ هَذَا أَلَا فَلْيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ فَإِنَّ الشَّاهِدَ عَسَى أَنْ يُبَلِّغَهُ مَنْ هُوَ أَوْعَى لَهُ مِنْهُ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ قَدْ كَانَ ذَاكَ  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ delivered a sermon on the Day of Sacrifice while riding on his camel. He began speaking intermittently here and there, in front of each group of people. Then he asked, "Which day is this?" We remained silent, thinking that he would name it something other than its actual name. He then said, "Is it not the Day of Sacrifice?" We replied, "Yes." He then asked, "Which month is this?" Again, we remained silent, thinking that he would name it something other than its actual name. He then said, "Is it not the month of Dhu al-Hijjah?" We replied, "Yes." He then asked, "Which city is this?" Once again, we remained silent, thinking that he would name it something other than its actual name. He then said, "Is it not the sacred city?" We replied, "Yes." He said, "Verily, your blood, your wealth, and your honor are sacred to one another like the sanctity of this day in this month in this city. Let the absent inform the absent, for perhaps the absent will be more attentive to it than the present."  

خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ لَهُ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ يَتَكَلَّمُ هَاهُنَا مَرَّةً وَهَاهُنَا مَرَّةً عِنْدَ كُلِّ قَوْمٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيُّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا؟ قَالَ فَسَكَتْنَا حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ غَيْرَ اسْمِهِ قَالَ أَلَيْسَ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ؟ قَالَ قُلْنَا بَلَى ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيُّ شَهْرٍ هَذَا؟ قَالَ فَسَكَتْنَا حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ غَيْرَ اسْمِهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلَيْسَ ذَا الْحِجَّةِ؟ قَالَ قُلْنَا بَلَى ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيُّ بَلَدٍ هَذَا؟ قَالَ فَسَكَتْنَا حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ غَيْرَ اسْمِهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلَيْسَ الْبَلْدَةَ الْحَرَامَ؟ قَالَ قُلْنَا بَلَى قَالَ فَإِنَّ دِمَاءَكُمْ وَأَمْوَالَكُمْ وَأَعْرَاضَكُمْ حَرَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ إِلَى أَنْ تَلْقَوْا رَبَّكُمْ كَحُرْمَةِ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا فِي شَهْرِكُمْ هَذَا فِي بَلَدِكُمْ هَذَا ثُمَّ قَالَ لِيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ مِنْكُمُ الْغَائِبَ فَلَعَلَّ الْغَائِبَ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَوْعَى لَهُ مِنَ الشَّاهِدِ

[Machine] "When that day came, the Prophet ﷺ sat on a camel, I do not know if it was a camel or a camel. A man took hold of its reins or said his bridle and said, 'What day is this?' We remained silent until we thought that he would give it a different name. He said, 'Isn't it the day of Sacrifice?' We said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Then which month is this?' We remained silent until we thought that he would give it a different name. He said, 'Isn't it the month of Dhul-Hijjah?' We said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Then which city is this?' We remained silent until we thought that he would give it a different name. He said, 'Isn't it this city?' We said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Indeed, your blood, your property, and your honor are sacred among you like the sacredness of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this city of yours. Behold! Let the witness inform the absent, perhaps the witness will convey it to one who is more aware."

[Machine] Narrated Abu Bakrah: The Prophet ﷺ stood up on his camel and held its reins. A man held its noseband or bridle and asked, "Which day is this?" We remained silent until we thought that he might name it differently. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Is this not the day of sacrifice (Eid al-Adha)?" We replied, "Yes, it is." He then asked, "Which month is this?" Again, we remained silent until we thought that he might name it differently. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Is this not the month of Dhul-Hijjah?" We replied, "Yes, it is." He then asked, "Which land is this?" Again, we remained silent until we thought that he might name it differently. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Is this not the sacred land (Makkah)?" We replied, "Yes, it is." He said, "Then surely, the blood, wealth, and honor of every Muslim among you is as sacred as this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this land of yours. Let the witness among you convey (the message) to the absent one, for the witness may convey it to one who is more mindful of it than he is."

Once the Prophet ﷺ was riding his camel and a man was holding its rein. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What is the day today?" We kept quiet, thinking that he might give that day another name. He said, "Isn't it the day of Nahr (slaughtering of the animals of sacrifice)" We replied, "Yes." He further asked, "Which month is this?" We again kept quiet, thinking that he might give it another name. Then he said, "Isn't it the month of Dhul-Hijja?" We replied, "Yes." He said, "Verily! Your blood, property and honor are sacred to one another (i.e. Muslims) like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours and in this city of yours. It is incumbent upon those who are present to inform those who are absent because those who are absent might comprehend (what I have said) better than the present audience." (Using translation from Bukhārī 67)   

لَمَّا كَانَ ذَاكَ الْيَوْمُ قَعَدَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ فَقَالَ «أَيُّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا؟» قَالَ فَسَكَتْنَا حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ سِوَى اسْمِهِ فَقَالَ «أَلَيْسَ بِيَوْمِ النَّحْرِ؟» فَقُلْنَا بَلَى قَالَ «فَأَيُّ شَهْرٍ هَذَا؟» قَالَ فَسَكَتْنَا حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ سِوَى اسْمِهِ فَقَالَ «أَلَيْسَ بِذِي الْحِجَّةِ؟» فَقُلْنَا بَلَى قَالَ «فَأَيُّ بَلَدٍ هَذَا؟» قَالَ فَسَكَتْنَا حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ سِوَى اسْمِهِ قَالَ «أَلَيْسَ بِالْبَلْدَةِ؟» فَقُلْنَا بَلَى قَالَ «فَإِنَّ دِمَاءَكُمْ وَأَمْوَالَكُمْ وَأَعْرَاضَكُمْ بَيْنَكُمْ حَرَامٌ كَحُرْمَةِ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا فِي شَهْرِكُمْ هَذَا فِي بَلَدِكُمْ هَذَا أَلَا لِيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ فَإِنَّ الشَّاهِدَ عَسَى أَنْ يُبَلِّغَهُ مَنْ هُوَ أَوْعَى لَهُ مِنْهُ»  

The Prophet ﷺ delivered to us a sermon on the Day of Nahr. He said, "Do you know what is the day today?" We said, "Allah and His Apostle know better." He remained silent till we thought that he might give that day another name. He said, "Isn't it the Day of Nahr?" We said, "It is." He further asked, "Which month is this?" We said, "Allah and His Apostle know better." He remained silent till we thought that he might give it another name. He then said, "Isn't it the month of Dhul-Hijja?" We replied: "Yes! It is." He further asked, "What town is this?" We replied, "Allah and His Apostle know it better." He remained silent till we thought that he might give it another name. He then said, "Isn't it the forbidden (Sacred) town (of Mecca)?" We said, "Yes. It is." He said, "No doubt, your blood and your properties are sacred to one another like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this town of yours, till the day you meet your Lord. No doubt! Haven't I conveyed Allah's message to you? They said, "Yes." He said, "O Allah! Be witness. So it is incumbent upon those who are present to convey it (this information) to those who are absent because the informed one might comprehend it (what I have said) better than the present audience, who will convey it to him. Beware! Do not renegade (as) disbelievers after me by striking the necks (cutting the throats) of one another." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1741)   

خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ فَقَالَ أِيُّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا؟ قُلْنَا اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ بِغَيْرِ اسْمِهِ فَقَالَ أَلَيْسَ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ؟ قُلْنَا بَلَى قَالَ فَأِيُّ شَهْرٍ هَذَا؟ قُلْنَا اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ بِغَيْرِ اسْمِهِ قَالَ أَوَلَيْسَ ذَا الْحَجَّةِ؟ قُلْنَا بَلَى قَالَ فَأِيُّ بَلَدٍ هَذَا؟ قُلْنَا اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ بِغَيْرِ اسْمِهِ قَالَ أَلَيْسَتِ الْبَلْدَةَ الْحَرَامَ؟ قُلْنَا بَلَى قَالَ فَإِنَّ دِمَاءَكُمْ حَرَامٌ كَحُرْمَةِ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا فِي شَهْرِكُمْ هَذَا فِي بَلَدِكُمْ هَذَا اللهُمَّ هَلْ بَلِّغْتُ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ لِيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ مِنْكُمُ الْغَائِبَ فَرُبَّ مُبَلَّغٍ أَوْعَى مِنْ سَامِعٍ أَلَا لَا تَرْجِعُوا بَعْدِي كُفَّارًا يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ  

"عَنْ أَبِى بَكْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: أىُّ شَهْرٍ هَذَا؟ قُلنَا: الله وَرسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ بِغَيْرِ اسْمِهِ، قَالَ: أَلَيْسَ ذَا الحِجَّةِ؟ قُلنَا: بَلَى قَالَ: فَأى بَلَدٍ هَذَا؟ قُلنَا: الله وَرسُولُهُ أعْلَمُ، فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَا أنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ بِغَيْر اسْمِهِ قَالَ: ألَيْسَ البَلَد الحَرَام؟ قُلنَا: بَلَى، قَالَ: أَىُّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا؟ قَلنَا: الله وَرَسُولُهُ أعْلَمُ فَسَكَتَ حَتَى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ بِغَيْر اسْمِهِ، قَالَ: ألَيْسَ يوم النَّحْر، قُلنَا: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ الله قَالَ: فإنَّ دِمَاءَكُمْ، وَأمْوَالَكُمْ، وَأَعْراضَكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ حَرَامٌ كَحُرْمَةِ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا في شَهْرِكُمْ هَذَا وَسَتَلقَوْنَ رَبَّكُمْ فَيَسْألُكُمْ عَنْ أَعْمَالِكُمْ" .
