Strengthening the Ummah

Once the Prophet (ﷺ) was riding his camel and a man was holding its rein. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "What is
the day today?" We kept quiet, thinking that he might give that day another name. He said, "Isn't it the
day of Nahr (slaughtering of the animals of sacrifice)" We replied, "Yes." He further asked, "Which
month is this?" We again kept quiet, thinking that he might give it another name. Then he said, "Isn't it
the month of Dhul-Hijja?" We replied, "Yes." He said, "Verily! Your blood, property and honor are
sacred to one another (i.e. Muslims) like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours and in
this city of yours. It is incumbent upon those who are present to inform those who are absent because
those who are absent might comprehend (what I have said) better than the present audience."
