On the 25 Dhul Qa’dah the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم)left Madinah and headed for Makkah to make what was to be his last Hajj.

And at the Farewell Speech the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) sat on his camel and addressed the congregation:

‘O People, no prophet or messenger will come after me and no new faith will be born. Reason well, therefore, O People, and understand words which I convey to you. I am leaving you with the Book of Allah (the Quran) and my Sunnah (the lifestyle and the behavioral mode of the Prophet); if you follow them, you will never go astray. All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others and those to others again; and may the last ones understand my words better than those who listen to me directly.’

The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

“When I say ‘SubhanAllah walhamdulillah wala ilaha illallah wallaahu akbar (Glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, there is no god except Allah, and Allah is Most Great)’, this is more beloved to me than all that the sun rises upon.” (Narrated by Muslim).  These words are the most beloved words to Allah, the best of words, and they weigh heavily in the balance of good deeds, as was narrated in the saheeh ahaadeeth.

May Allah سبحانه وتعالى accept all our deeds! Ameen!

In the month Dhul-Hijjah, in the the ninth year of Al-Hijra,the Messenger of Allâh (ﷺ) dispatched Abu Bakr(RA)for Al-Hajj (pilgrimage), so that he  would lead the Muslims in performing of the pilgrimage.

Soon after the departure of the Muslims, there came a Revelation from Allâh (ﷻ)- the opening passages of Surah Tauba (Bara’a) in which ‘freedom from obligation’ is proclaimed from Allâh(ﷻ) in regard to those idolatrous tribes who had shown no respect for the treaties which they had entered into with the Prophet (ﷺ).

As soon as the Messenger of Allâh (ﷺ) had entered Madinah, he prayed two Rak‘a then he sat to receive his people. The hypocrites who were over eighty men came and offered various kinds of excuses and started swearing. The Prophet acknowledged their excuses and invoked Allâh’s (سبحانه وتعالى) forgiveness for them but he entrusted their inner thoughts and Faith to Allâh(سبحانه وتعالى).

As for the three faithful believers — Ka‘b bin Malik, Murara bin Ar-Rabi‘, and Hilal bin Omaiyah — who favored telling the truth, the Messenger of Allâh (ﷺ)bade his Companions not to talk to them. Consequently they were subject to a severe boycott and were excluded from the life of the community.

Everybody turned them their back. So they felt as if the whole land had become constrained to them in spite of its spaciousness and they felt awkward and uneasy. The hard times they lived and which lasted for over forty days were towered by an order to them to forsake their wives. After fifty days’ boycott Allâh(سبحانه وتعالى) turned to them and revealed vindication.
