حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِىٍّ الْجَهْضَمِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَوْنٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِى بَكْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ لَمَّا كَانَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ قَعَدَ عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ وَأَخَذَ إِنْسَانٌ بِخِطَامِهِ فَقَالَ « أَتَدْرُونَ أَىَّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا ». قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ سِوَى اسْمِهِ. فَقَالَ « أَلَيْسَ بِيَوْمِ النَّحْرِ ». قُلْنَا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ « فَأَىُّ شَهْرٍ هَذَا ». قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ « أَلَيْسَ بِذِى الْحِجَّةِ ». قُلْنَا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ « فَأَىُّ بَلَدٍ هَذَا ». قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ - قَالَ - حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ سِوَى اسْمِهِ. قَالَ « أَلَيْسَ بِالْبَلْدَةِ ». قُلْنَا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ « فَإِنَّ دِمَاءَكُمْ وَأَمْوَالَكُمْ وَأَعْرَاضَكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ حَرَامٌ كَحُرْمَةِ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا فِى شَهْرِكُمْ هَذَا فِى بَلَدِكُمْ هَذَا فَلْيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ ». قَالَ ثُمَّ انْكَفَأَ إِلَى كَبْشَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ فَذَبَحَهُمَا وَإِلَى جُزَيْعَةٍ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ فَقَسَمَهَا بَيْنَنَا.

It was narrated from 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Bakrah that his father said: "On that day, he (s.a.w) sat on his camel and someone took hold of its nose-ring, and he said: 'Do you know what day this is?' They said: 'Allah and His Messenger know best,' 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 Allah.' He said: 'What month is this?' We said: 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said: 'Is it not Dhul-Hijjah?' We said: 'Yes indeed, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'What land is this?' We said: 'Allah and His Messenger know best,' 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, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Your blood, your wealth and your honor are sacred to you, as sacred as this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this land of yours. Let those who are present convey it to those who are absent.' Then he turned towards two speckled black and white rams and sacrificed them, and to a flock of sheep which he distributed amongst us.
