3055. It was narrated from Sulaimān bin 'Amr bin Ahwas that his father said: "I heard the
Prophet ﷺ say, during the Farewell Pilgrimage: 'O people! Which day is the most sacred?' three times. They said: 'The day of the greatest Hajj.' He said: 'Your blood and your wealth and your honor are sacred to one another, as sacred as this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this land of yours. No sinner commits a sin but it is against himself. No father is to be punished for the sins of his child, and no child is to be punished for the sins of his father. Satan has despaired of ever being worshipped in this land of yours, but he will be obeyed in some matters which you regard as insignificant, and he will be content with that. All the blood feuds of the Ignorance days are abolished, and the first of them that I abolish is the blood feud of Hārīth bin 'Abdul-Muttalib, who was nursed among Banu Laith and killed by Hudhail. All the usuries of the Ignorance days are abolished, but you will have your capital. Do not wrong others and you will not be wronged. O my nation, have I conveyed (the message)?' (He asked this) three times. They said: 'Yes.' He said: 'O Allāh, bear witness!' three times." (Hasan)

Commentary
The Day of Hajj is highly respectable.
Some days are superior to others; like the day of 'Eid, the days of Hajj; particularly the Day of 'Arafah, Friday among the weekdays, and the month
of Ramadân among all the other months. The virtues and respect of these days entail paying more importance to worship and to avoid sinning.
c. Killing a believer, taking his property unjustly, or humiliating him is a great major sin.
d. Innocent relatives of a culprit cannot be punished for his wrongdoings.
e. One should avoid committing minor sins because Satan will be pleased with them too, and they may lead to great sins.
f. All kinds of usuries are forbidden since it is injustice, even if both parties involve in it willingly.
g. The Prophet ﷺ has conveyed all the matters of religion; there is no aspect of life regarding which the Shari'ah does not have guidance.
