Sahih al-Bukhari 6813 (Book 92, Hadith 29)
“Allah and His Apostle know better.” We thought that he might give that day another name. The
Prophet said, “Isn’t it the day of An-Nahr?” We replied, “Yes. O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ).” He then said, “What
town is this? Isn’t it the forbidden (Sacred) Town (Mecca)?” We replied, “Yes, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ).” He
then said, “Your blood, your properties, your honors and your skins (i.e., bodies) are as sacred to one
another like the sanctity of this day of yours in this month of yours in this town of yours. (Listen)
Haven’t I conveyed Allah’s message to you?” We replied, “Yes” He said, “O Allah! Be witness (for it).
So it is incumbent upon those who are present to convey it (this message of mine) to those who are
absent because the informed one might comprehend what I have said better than the present audience
who will convey it to him.)” The narrator added: In fact, it was like that. The Prophet (ﷺ) added, “Beware!
Do not renegade as disbelievers after me by striking (cutting) the necks of one another.”
