6043. Narrated Ibn 'Umar: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا replied, "Allāh and His Messenger know better." He said, "Today is 10th of Dhul-Hijja, the sacred (forbidden) day. Do you know what town is this?" They (the people) replied, "Allāh and His Messenger know better." He said, "This is the sacred (forbidden) town (Makkah — a sanctuary). And do you know which month is this?" They (the people) replied, "Allāh and His Messenger know better." He said, "This is the sacred month." He added, "Allāh has made your blood, your properties and your honour sacred to one another (i.e., Muslims) like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this town of yours." [See Hadīth No. 1741 and 1742]
