Bulugh al-Maram — Hadith #52418

On the authority of Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed us on the Day of Sacrifice…” The hadith. Agreed upon. 1.1 - Sahih. Narrated by Al-Bukhari (1741) and Muslim (1679). The complete hadith is: “Do you know what day this is?” We said: “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He remained silent until we thought he would call it by another name. He said: “Is it not the Day of Sacrifice?” We said: “Yes.” He said: “What month is this?” We said: “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He remained silent until we thought he would call it by another name. He said: “Is it not Dhul-Hijjah?” We said: “Yes.” He said: “What land is this?” We said: “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He remained silent until we thought that… He will call it by another name. He said: Is it not the Sacred City? We said: Yes. He said: Then your blood and your wealth are sacred to you, just as this day of yours is sacred in this month of yours in this city of yours, until the Day you meet your Lord. Have I not conveyed the message? They said: Yes. He said: O God, bear witness. Let those who are present convey it to those who are absent, for perhaps the one who is informed will understand better than the one who hears. So do not revert to disbelief after me, striking one another's necks. The context is from Al-Bukhari.
