Hadith 2159

حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ شَبِيبِ بْنِ غَرْقَدَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ لِلنَّاسِ : " أَيُّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا ؟ " قَالُوا : يَوْمُ الْحَجِّ الْأَكْبَرِ ، قَالَ : " فَإِنَّ دِمَاءَكُمْ وَأَمْوَالَكُمْ وَأَعْرَاضَكُمْ بَيْنَكُمْ حَرَامٌ ، كَحُرْمَةِ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا ، فِي بَلَدِكُمْ هَذَا ، أَلَا لَا يَجْنِي جَانٍ إِلَّا عَلَى نَفْسِهِ ، أَلَا لَا يَجْنِي جَانٍ عَلَى وَلَدِهِ ، وَلَا مَوْلُودٌ عَلَى وَالِدِهِ ، أَلَا وَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ قَدْ أَيِسَ مِنْ أَنْ يُعْبَدَ فِي بِلَادِكُمْ هَذِهِ أَبَدًا ، وَلَكِنْ سَتَكُونُ لَهُ طَاعَةٌ فِيمَا تَحْتَقِرُونَ مِنْ أَعْمَالِكُمْ فَسَيَرْضَى بِهِ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ ، وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، وَجَابِرٍ ، وَحِذْيَمِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو السَّعْدِيِّ ، وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، وَرَوَى زَائِدَةُ ، عَنْ شَبِيبِ بْنِ غَرْقَدَةَ نَحْوَهُ ، وَلَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ شَبِيبِ بْنِ غَرْقَدَةَ .
´Sulaiman bin 'Amr bin Al-Ahwas narrated from his father who said:` "During the Farewell Pilgrimage, I heard the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) saying: 'Which day is this?' They said:'The day of Al-Hajj Al-Akbar.'He said:'Indeed your blood, your wealth, your honour is sacred to each other, just as this day of yours is sacred in this city of yours. Indeed, no one commits a crime except against himself. Indeed none commits a crime for which his son is accountable, nor does a child commit a crime for which his father is held accountable. Indeed Ash-Shaitan has lost hope of ever being worshipped in this city of yours, but he will have compliance in what deeds of yours you consider insignificant, which he will be content with."'

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
It is established from authentic ahadith that the meaning of Yawm al-Hajj al-Akbar (the Day of the Greater Pilgrimage) is Yawm al-Nahr (the 10th of Dhu al-Hijjah), because it was on this day in Mina that the declaration of disavowal (bara’ah) from the disbelievers and polytheists was proclaimed. Another reason for calling it Hajj al-Akbar is that on this day the greatest and most important rites of Hajj are performed. Or, since the common people used to refer to ‘umrah as Hajj al-Asghar (the Lesser Pilgrimage), in this context Hajj was called Hajj al-Akbar (the Greater Pilgrimage). The notion widespread among the public that if the Day of ‘Arafah falls on a Friday, then that Hajj is Hajj al-Akbar, has absolutely no basis.

That is, it has been forgiven;
now, no retribution (qisas) will be taken for any bloodshed from the time of ignorance (jahiliyyah).

Benefits and Issues:

➊ The day of Hajj is worthy of respect.

➋ Some days are superior to others, such as the day of Eid and the days of Hajj, especially the day of Arafah; among the days of the week, Friday; among the months, the days of Ramadan. In these days, paying greater attention to righteousness and worship, and striving to avoid sins, is required by their status and respect.

➌ On important occasions, issues relevant to the public should be explained. Mentioning other important issues is also necessary.

➍ For a believer, to unjustly take the life of another believer, to take his wealth, or to dishonor him is a grave sin.

➎ The punishment for a criminal’s crime cannot be given to his innocent relatives.

➏ Sometimes, when the police cannot arrest a fugitive criminal, they torture his family members so that the criminal, in order to save them, surrenders himself. According to the Shariah, this is oppression.

➐ One should avoid even minor sins, because Satan is pleased with them as well, and due to them, one may eventually fall into major sins.

➑ Along with preaching and advising, a scholar should also present his own practical example.

➒ Every kind of usury (riba) is forbidden, because it is oppression, whether it is given or taken with mutual consent.

➓ The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) has conveyed the commands of the religion completely. There is no aspect of life in which the guidance of the Shariah is not present.
