LAST SERMON
This Sermon was delivered on the Ninth day of Dhul Hijjah 10 A.H. In the "Uranah Valley of Mount Arafat."
After praising and thanking Allah he said:
"O people, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether, after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefore listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and TAKE THESE WORDS TO THOSE WHO COULD NOT BE PRESENT HERE TODAY.
O people, just as you regard this month, this day, this city as a sacred, so regard this life and property of every muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. Remember that you indeed meet you LORD, and that HE will indeed reckon your deeds. ALLAH has forbidden you to take usury (Interest), therefore all interest obligations shall henceforth be waived. Your capital, however, is yours to keep. You will neither inflict nor suffer inequity. Allah has judged that there shall be no interest and that the interest due to Abbas Ibn' Abda'l Muttalib shall henceforth be waived.
Beware of Satan, for the safety of your religion. He has lost all hopes that he will ever be able to lead you astray in the big things, so beware of following him in small things.
O people, it is true that you have certain rights with regards to your women, but they also have rights over you. Remember that you have taken them as your wives only under Allah's trust and with His permission. If they abide by your right then to them belongs the right to be fed and be clothed in kindness. Do treat your women well and be kind to them for they are your partners and committed helpers. And it is your right that they do not make friends with one whom you do not approve, as well as never be unchaste.
O people listen to me in earnest, worship ALLAH, say your five daily prayers (Salat), fast during the month of Ramadhan and give your wealth in Zakat. Perform Hajj if you can afford to.
All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over Arab; also; white has no superiority over black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good actions. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore, do injustice to yourselves.
Remember, one day you will appear before ALLAH and answer for your deeds. So beware, do not stray from the path of righteousness after I am gone.
O people, NO PROPHET OR APOSTLE WILL COME AFTER ME AND NO NEW FAITH WILL BE BORN. Reason, well, therefore, O People, and understand words which I convey to you. I leave behind two things, the QURA'N and my example, the SUNNAH and if you follow these you will never go astray.
All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others and those to others again; and may that last ones understand my words better than those who listen to me directly. Be my witness, O ALLAH, that I have conveyed your message to your people."
