and His Apostle know it better.” He said, “It is the forbidden (sacred) day. And do you know what
town is this?” They replied, “Allah and His Apostle know it better.” He said, “This is the forbidden
(Sacred) town (Mecca). And do you know which month is this?” The people replied, “Allah and His
Apostle know it better.” He said, “This is the forbidden (sacred) month.” The Prophet (ﷺ) added, “No
doubt, Allah made your blood, your properties, and your honor sacred to one another like the sanctity
of this day of yours in this month of yours in this town of yours.” Narrated Ibn `Umar: On the Day of
Nahr (10th of Dhul-Hijja), the Prophet (ﷺ) stood in between the Jamrat during his Hajj which he
performed (as in the previous Hadith) and said, “This is the greatest Day (i.e. 10th of Dhul-Hijjah).”
The Prophet (ﷺ) started saying repeatedly, “O Allah! Be Witness (I have conveyed Your Message).” He
then bade the people farewell. The people said, “This is Hajjat-al-Wada`).”
Sahih al-Bukhari 1680 (Book 25, Hadith 220)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
