The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood on the Day of Sacrifice between the pillars during the pilgrimage he performed, and the Prophet ﷺ asked, "What day is this?"They replied, "The Day of Sacrifice."He asked, "What land is this?"They replied, "This is Allah's sacred land."He asked, "What month is this?"They replied, "Allah's sacred month."He said, "This is the day of the greatest pilgrimage. Your blood, your property, and your honor are sacred to one another, just as this land is sacred in this month and on this day."Then he asked, "Have I conveyed the message?"They replied, "Yes."The Prophet ﷺ then began to say, "Allah, bear witness." Then he bid the people farewell, and they said, "This is the Farewell Pilgrimage."
أن رسول الله ﷺ وقف يوم النحر بين الجمرات في الحجة التي حج فيها، فقال النبي ﷺ: أي يوم هذا؟ قالوا: يوم النحر. قال: فأي بلد هذا؟ قالوا: هذا بلد الله الحرام. قال: فأي شهر هذا؟ قالوا: شهر الله الحرام. قال: هذا يوم الحج الأكبر؛ دماءكم وأموالكم وأعراضكم عليكم حرام كحرمة هذا البلد في هذا الشهر، في هذا اليوم. ثم قال: هل بلغت؟ قالوا: نعم. فطفق النبي ﷺ يقول: اللهم اشهد ثم ودع الناس. فقالوا: هذه حجة الوداع.
Ibn Majah (3058) narrated it from Hisham bin Ammar, who said, Sadaqa bin Khalid narrated to us, Hisham bin Ghaz narrated to us, saying, "I heard Nafi narrating from Ibn Umar," and he related the hadith. Hakim (2/331) and Bayhaqi (5/139) also narrated it through other routes from Hisham bin Ghaz, with his chain, in similar wording. Abu Dawud (1945) also narrated it through this same route, except that he abridged it.Hakim said, "This is a hadith sahih in its chain, though the two of them (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it in this wording. Most of this text is found in the Sahihayn, except for his saying, 'The greatest day of Hajj is the day of sacrifice,' for the sayings about this from the companions and the followers differ among themselves regarding it. Some of them said it is the day of Arafah, while others said it is the day of sacrifice."
