12-64 Al-Hassan ibn Abdullah ibn Sa’id al-Askari narrated that Abul-Qasim Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Abdul-Karim ibn Akhi Abi Zar’at quoted ibn Oan, on the authority of Makki ibn Ibrahim al-Balkhi, on the authorityof Musa ibn Ubaydat, on the authority of Sadaqaht ibn Yasar, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Umar, “The following Chapter of the Holy Quran was revealed to the Prophet (MGB) during the days of al-Tashriq. , ‘When comes the Help of Allah, and Victory,…’ Then he (MGB) realized that this would be his last pilgrimage. He (MGB) rode his camel, praised God and supplicated to Him and said, “
O people! All the bloodshed at the Age of Ignorance has been wasted. The first blood that was wasted was that of al-Harith ibn Rabi’a ibn al-Harith. He had gone to seek a wet nurse amongst the Huzayl clan and someone from the Lays clan killed him (or amongst the Lays clan and someone from the Huzayl clan killed him). All the usury from the Age of Ignorance is voided. The first usury that is voided is the usury of Ab’bas ibn Abdul Mutalib.O people! The times have changed and today it is as if it is the day on which the heavens and the two Earths were created. In fact, the number of months for God is twelve and is recorded in God’s Book the day on which God created the heavens and the Earth. Four of them are the sacred months. The first one is Rajab Mizr which is between Jamadi and Shaban. The other three are Dhul-Qa’ade, Dhul-Hijja and Muharram. Then do not oppress yourselves in these months. Changing the sanctity of the forbidden months constitutes grave atheism. Those who deny this sanctity are at a great loss. They consider one of these months not to be a sacred month one year, and consider a different month as a sacred month so as to make the number of the sacred months to be the same as what God has considered to be sacred months. In one year they set the month of Safar not to be sacred and the month of Muharram to be a sacred month, while in the year on which they considered Safar to be a sacred month they considered Muharram not to be a sacred month.O people! Satan has become disappointed of being worshipped in your towns forever. Thus, it is pleased with your minor sins. O people! Whoever has been entrusted with something should return it to its owner. O people! Women are really your captives. They cannot ask for any profit or loss for themselves. They become lawful to you by God’s decrees. You have certain rights incumbent upon them and they have certain rights incumbent upon you. Amongst your rights incumbent upon them is that they should only sleep with you and they should not disobey you (in good things). Once they do so, it is incumbent upon you to feed them and clothe them as usual. You should not beat them up. O people! Indeed I will leave with you the Book of the Honorable the Exalted God adhering to which will keep you from going astray. Therefore, grab onto it.”The Prophet (MGB) added, “O people! What day is today?”The people said, “It is the sacred day.” Then the Prophet (MGB) said, “O people! What month is this month?” They said, “It is the sacred month.” Then the Prophet (MGB) said, ‘O people! What town is this town?’ They said, “It is the sacred town.” Then the Prophet (MGB) said, “Indeed the Honorable the Exalted God has forbidden the shedding of your blood, the spending of your money and the losing of your honor for the sanctity of this day of yours in this month of yours in this town of yours until the day you meet Him. Then those of you who are present should inform those who are absent that there will be no more Prophets after me and that there will be no other nation after you.” Then the Prophet (MGB) raised his hands such that his armpits could be seen. Then the Prophet (MGB) said, “O my God! Bear witness that I delivered (what I was supposed to express).”
