Musaddad informed us, he said: Bishr informed us, he said: Ibn Awn informed us from Ibn Sirin, from Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Bakra, from his father. The Prophet (peace be upon him) mentioned that he was sitting on his camel when a man held its reins or noseband and asked, “Which day is this?” We remained silent thinking that he might give it a name other than its real name. He said, “Is it not the day of Nahr (slaughtering of sacrifice)?” We replied, “Yes.” He then asked, “Which month is this?” Again, we remained silent, thinking that he might give it a name other than its real name. He said, “Is it not the month of Dhul-Hijjah?” We replied, “Yes.” He then said, “Verily, your blood, your properties, and your honor are as sacred to one another as the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this city of yours. Let him who is present inform those who are absent. Perhaps the one to whom the message is conveyed might comprehend it better than the one who has heard it.”
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ذَكَرَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَعَدَ عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ، وَأَمْسَكَ إِنْسَانٌ بِخِطَامِهِ ـ أَوْ بِزِمَامِهِ ـ قَالَ ” أَىُّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا ”. فَسَكَتْنَا حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ سِوَى اسْمِهِ. قَالَ ” أَلَيْسَ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ ”. قُلْنَا بَلَى. قَالَ ” فَأَىُّ شَهْرٍ هَذَا ”. فَسَكَتْنَا حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ بِغَيْرِ اسْمِهِ. فَقَالَ ” أَلَيْسَ بِذِي الْحِجَّةِ ”. قُلْنَا بَلَى. قَالَ ” فَإِنَّ دِمَاءَكُمْ وَأَمْوَالَكُمْ وَأَعْرَاضَكُمْ بَيْنَكُمْ حَرَامٌ كَحُرْمَةِ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا، فِي شَهْرِكُمْ هَذَا، فِي بَلَدِكُمْ هَذَا. لِيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ، فَإِنَّ الشَّاهِدَ عَسَى أَنْ يُبَلِّغَ مَنْ هُوَ أَوْعَى لَهُ مِنْهُ ”.
