someone who heard the sermon of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the middle the days of tashrīq ˹toward the end of Ḥajj˺ narrated to me that he (the Prophet ﷺ) said, "O people! Your Lord is One and your father ˹Adam˺ is one. There is no preference of an Arab over a non-Arab, nor a non-Arab over an Arab, and neither one of white skin over one of black skin, nor one of black skin over one of white skin, except through God-conscious righteousness. Have I delivered ˹the message˺?” They said, “The Messenger of Allah has delivered ˹the message˺."
Then he said, "Which day is this?" They said: A sacred day. Then he said, "Which month is this?" They said: A sacred month. He said, then he said, "Which city is this?", They said: A sacred city. He said, "˹Similarly,˺ Allah has made your lives and and your wealth sacred between you" – he said: and I don't know whether or not he said "your honor", "just like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this city of yours. Have I delivered ˹the message˺?" They said: “The Messenger of Allah has delivered ˹the message˺."
He said, "The one present must deliver to the one absent."
