حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ غَزْوَانَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَيُّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا قَالُوا هَذَا يَوْمٌ حَرَامٌ قَالَ أَيُّ بَلَدٍ هَذَا قَالُوا بَلَدٌ حَرَامٌ قَالَ فَأَيُّ شَهْرٍ هَذَا قَالُوا شَهْرٌ حَرَامٌ قَالَ إِنَّ أَمْوَالَكُمْ وَدِمَاءَكُمْ وَأَعْرَاضَكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ حَرَامٌ كَحُرْمَةِ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا فِي بَلَدِكُمْ هَذَا فِي شَهْرِكُمْ هَذَا ثُمَّ أَعَادَهَا مِرَارًا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ مِرَارًا قَالَ يَقُولُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّهَا لَوَصِيَّةٌ إِلَى رَبِّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلَا فَلْيُبَلِّغْ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ لَا تَرْجِعُوا بَعْدِي كُفَّارًا يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2036
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said in his Farewell Sermon: "O people, what day is this?” They said: This is a sacred day. He said: "What land is this?” They said: This is a sacred land. He said: "What month is this?” They said: This is a sacred month. He said: "Your wealth, your blood and your honour are sacred to you, as sacred as this day of yours, in this land of yours and in this month of yours.” Then he repeated it several times, then he looked up to the heavens and said: "O Lord, have i conveyed (the message)?” several times. And Ibn 'Abbas said: By Allah, this is advice for the sake of Allah. Then he said: "Let those who are present convey it to those who are absent. Do not go back to being disbelievers after I am gone, striking one another's necks."
