[4383] 29 - (1679) It was narrated from Abû Bakrah that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Time has returned to its original order as it was on the day when Allâh created the heavens and the earth. The year is twelve months, of which four are sacred: Three consecutive months; Dhul-Qa'dah, Dhul-Hijjah and Muharram - and Rajab, the month of Muḍar, which comes
between Jumâda and Sha'bân." Then he said: "What month is this?" We said: "Allâh and His Messenger know best." He remained silent until we thought that he was going to call it by another name. He said: "Is it not Dhul-Hijjah?" We said: "Yes indeed." He said: "What land is this?" We said: "Allâh and His Messenger know best." He remained silent until we thought that he was going to call it by another name. He said: "Is it not Al-Baldah (the city of Makkah)?" We said: "Yes indeed." He said: "What day is this?" We said: "Allâh and His Messenger know best." He remained silent until we thought that he was going to call it by another name. He said: "Is it not the Day of Sacrifice?" We said: "Yes indeed, O Messenger of Allâh." He said: "Your blood and your wealth" - Muḥammad (a narrator) said: "and I think he said: 'your honor' - "are sacred to you, as sacred as this day of yours, in this land of yours, in this month of yours. You will meet your Lord, and He will ask you about your deeds, so do not turn back misguided after I am gone, striking one another's necks. Let those who are present convey it to those who are absent; perhaps some of those to whom it is conveyed will understand it better than some of those who hear it." Then he said: "Have I not conveyed (the message)?"
Ibn Ḥabīb said in his report: "And Rajab of Muḍar."
Abī Bakr (a narrator) said: "Do not turn back after me."
