asked, “Which month is this?” We said, “Allah and His Apostle know better.” He remained silent till

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
