Sunan ad-Darimi — Hadith #54763

Abu Hatim Ashhal bin Hatim told us, Ibn Aoun told us, on the authority of Muhammad, on the authority of Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Bakra, on the authority of his father, He said: On that day, the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, sat on a camel, I don’t know, a camel or a camel, and a man took hold of its muzzle or said: With his reins, he said: “What day is this?” He said: We remained silent until we thought he would give it something other than its name, so he said: “Isn’t it the Day of Sacrifice?” We said: Yes. He said: “What month is this?” He said: We remained silent until we thought that he would give it another name, so he said: “Isn’t it Dhu al-Hijjah?” We said: Yes. He said: “What?” This country? He said: We remained silent until we thought that he would give it something other than its name, so he said: “Isn’t it the town?” We said: Yes. He said: “Your blood, your property, and your honor among you are as sacred as this day of yours, in this month of yours, in your country.” This is to inform the absent witness, “It is possible that the witness will inform someone who is more knowledgeable than him.”
