(2). 3087. Sulaimān bin 'Amr bin Al-Aḥwaṣ said: "My father narrated to me that he attended the Farewell Hajj with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. He (ﷺ) expressed his gratitude to Allāh and praised Him, and reminded and exhorted, then he said: 'Which day is most sacred? Which day is most sacred? Which day is most sacred?' He said: "So the people said: 'The day of Al-Hajj Al-Akbar O Messenger of Allāh!' So he said: 'Indeed, your blood, your wealth, your honor, is as sacred for you as the sacredness of this day of yours, in this city of yours, in this month of yours. Behold! None commits a crime but against himself, none offends a father for a son, nor a son for a father. Behold! Indeed the Muslim is the brother of the Muslim, so it is not lawful for the Muslim to do anything to his brother, which is not lawful to be done to himself. Behold! All Ribā from Jāhiliyyah is invalid, for you is the principle of your wealth, but you are not to wrong nor be wronged – except in the case of the Ribā of Al-'Abbās bin 'Abdul-Muṭṭalib – otherwise it is all invalid. Behold! All retributions regarding cases of blood during Jāhiliyyah are invalid. The first case of blood retribution invalidated among those of Jāhiliyyah, is the blood of Al-Ḥārith bin 'Abdul-Muṭṭalib who was nursed among Banū Laith and killed by Hudhail. Behold! I order you to treat women well, for they are but like captives with you, you have no sovereignty beyond this over them, unless they manifest open lewdness. If they do that, then abandon their beds, and beat them with a beating that is not painful. Then if they obey you, then there is no cause for you against them beyond that. Behold! There are rights for you upon your women, and rights for your women upon you. As for your rights upon them, then they are not to allow anyone on your bedding whom you dislike, nor to permit anyone whom you dislike in your homes. Behold! Indeed their rights upon you are that you treat them well in clothing them and feeding them.”’ (Hasan) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ. Abū Al-Aḥwaṣ (also) reported it from Shabīb bin Gharqadah.
