(F) This sermon was delivered on the Ninth day of Dhul Hijjah 10 A.H
      IN THE 'Uranah valley of Mount Arafat

After prasising 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 agian. Therefore listen to what I am sating to you very carefully and take these words tot hose who could not be present here today.

-   O people, jsut as you regard this month, this day, this city as sacred, so regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the good sentrusted to you to their rightful owners. hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your lord, and that He will reckon your deeds. Allah has forbiddem you to take usury, therefore all interests obligation shall henceforth be waived. Your capital, however is yours to keep. You will neither inflict nor suffer inequity.

- Beware of Satan, for the safety of your religion. He has lost all hope that he will ever be able to lead yopur astray in 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 rigths over you.   Remember that you have taken your wives only under Allahs trustand with His permision. If they abide by your right then to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness. Do treat your women well and be kind to them for they are your partners and committed helpers. And it si your right that they do not amke friends with any one whom you do not approve, as well as never to be unchaste.

- O People, .listen to me in earnest, worship Allah, say your five daily prayers, fast during the month of Ramadan and give your wealth in Zakah. Perform Hajj if you can afford to.

- All minkind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab had any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black nor a black has any superiority over a white except by piety and good action. 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.

- Remeber, one day you will appear before Allah and answer for your deeds. So beware, do not stray from the path of righteouness after I am gone.

- O people, no prophet or apostle will come after me and no new fith will be born. Reason well, therfore, O People and understand the words which I convey to you. I have behinde me two things, the Quran and my examplt, the Sunnah and if you follow these you will never go astray.   

- All those who listen to me shall pass my word to others again; and may the 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 peole".
