Sayyidah Sarra' bint Nabhan (may Allah be pleased with her), who in the time of ignorance (Jahiliyyah) was the custodian of a (temple/house), narrates: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say during the Farewell Hajj: "Do you know what day this is?" Sayyidah Sarra' (may Allah be pleased with her) says: It was the very day that people used to call 'Yawm al-Ru'us' (the Day of Heads). The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) know best." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is the middle day of the days of Tashriq." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you know what city this is?" The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) know best." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is al-Mash'ar al-Haram." Then he said: "It may be that I will not meet you after this year of mine. Beware! Your blood, your wealth and your honour are sacred to you, just as this day of yours is sacred in this city of yours, until you meet your Lord, and then He will ask you about your deeds. Listen! Let the one of you who is near convey it to the one who is far. Listen! Have I conveyed (the message of Allah)?" Sayyidah Sarra' (may Allah be pleased with her) says: Then, when we reached Madinah, only a short time had passed before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away.
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is not narrated from Sarra' bint Nabhan (may Allah be pleased with her) except with this chain; Abu Asim is alone in narrating it."
