Sulayman ibn ‘Amr ibn al-Ahwas reported from his father, who attended the Farewell Pilgrimage with the Messenger of Allah: ‘The Prophet praised Allah, gave a reminder and exhortation, then asked three times, “Which day is most sacred?” The people replied, “The day of the Greater Pilgrimage, Messenger of Allah.” He said: “Your blood, property, and honor are sacred to one another, like the sanctity of this day, in this city, in this month. No one commits a crime except against himself; no father is responsible for his child’s crime, nor a child for his father’s. A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim, and nothing belonging to his brother is lawful for him except what his brother freely permits.

“Every usurious transaction from the Age of Ignorance is annulled. You are entitled to your principal: you neither wrong others nor are wronged. The usury owed to al-‘Abbas ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib is annulled in full. Every blood claim from the Age of Ignorance is annulled. The first such claim I annul is the blood of al-Harith ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib, who was nursed among Banu Layth and killed by Hudhayl.

“Treat women well. They are under your care, and you have no right over them beyond that, except if they commit a manifest indecency. If they do, then separate from them in their beds and strike them without causing injury. If they obey you, do not seek a way against them. You have rights over your wives, and they have rights over you. Your rights are that they not admit to your beds anyone you dislike or allow into your homes anyone you dislike. Their rights are that you provide them with good clothing and food.”’ Abu ‘Isa graded this hadith hasan sahih and noted that Abu al-Ahwas also narrated it from Shabib ibn Gharqadah.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The sermon prohibits injustice and usury, annuls pre-Islamic blood claims, and describes reciprocal marital rights. The Arabic limits any disciplinary measure to a manifest indecency and specifies that it must not be injurious.
