Sahih al-Bukhari 7078 (Book 92, Hadith 29) #6801
The Sanctity of Life and Conveying Allah's Message

SUMMARY: This hadith emphasizes the importance of conveying Allah's message to others and warns against disobeying it by engaging in violence.

Narrated Abu Bakra: Allah's Messenger addressed the people saying, "Don't you know what is the day today?" They replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better". We thought that he might give that day another name. The Prophet said, "Isn't it the day of An-Nahr?" We replied, "Yes. O Allah's Messenger ". He then said, "What town is this? Isn't it the forbidden (Sacred) Town (Mecca)?" We replied, "Yes, O Allah's Messenger ". He then said, "Your blood, your properties, your honors and your skins (ie, bodies) are as sacred to one another like the sanctity of this day of yours in this month of yours in this town of yours. (Listen) Haven't I conveyed Allah's message to you?" We replied, "Yes" He said, "O Allah! Be witness (for it). So it is incumbent upon those who are present to convey it (this message of mine) to those who are absent because the informed one might comprehend what I have said better than the present audience who will convey it to him)" The narrator added: In fact, it was like that. The Prophet added, "Beware! Do not renegade as disbelievers after me by striking (cutting) the necks of one another".
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا قُرَّةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، وَعَنْ رَجُلٍ، آخَرَ هُوَ أَفْضَلُ فِي نَفْسِي مِنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ خَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَلاَ تَدْرُونَ أَىُّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ‏.‏ قَالَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ بِغَيْرِ اسْمِهِ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَلَيْسَ بِيَوْمِ النَّحْرِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْنَا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَىُّ بَلَدٍ، هَذَا أَلَيْسَتْ بِالْبَلْدَةِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْنَا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَإِنَّ دِمَاءَكُمْ، وَأَمْوَالَكُمْ، وَأَعْرَاضَكُمْ، وَأَبْشَارَكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ حَرَامٌ، كَحُرْمَةِ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا، فِي شَهْرِكُمْ هَذَا، فِي بَلَدِكُمْ هَذَا، أَلاَ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ اشْهَدْ، فَلْيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ، فَإِنَّهُ رُبَّ مُبَلِّغٍ يُبَلِّغُهُ مَنْ هُوَ أَوْعَى لَهُ فَكَانَ كَذَلِكَ ـ قَالَ ـ لاَ تَرْجِعُوا بَعْدِي كُفَّارًا يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمَ حُرِّقَ ابْنُ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ، حِينَ حَرَّقَهُ جَارِيَةُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ‏.‏ قَالَ أَشْرِفُوا عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرَةَ‏.‏ فَقَالُوا هَذَا أَبُو بَكْرَةَ يَرَاكَ‏.‏ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَحَدَّثَتْنِي أُمِّي عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَوْ دَخَلُوا عَلَىَّ مَا بَهَشْتُ بِقَصَبَةٍ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of conveying Allah's message to others and warns against disobeying it by engaging in violence. It was narrated by Abu Bakra who reported that Prophet Muhammad asked his people if they knew what day it was. When they replied that only Allah and His Apostle knew better, he said that it was the day of An-Nahr. He then asked them what town this was and when they replied that it was the forbidden town of Mecca, he said that their blood, properties, honors and skins were as sacred to one another as the sanctity of this day in this month in this town. He then urged them to convey his message to those who were absent from his gathering so they could understand better than those present at his gathering. Finally he warned them not to renegade as disbelievers after him by striking each other’s necks. This hadith teaches us about respecting life which is a gift from God; we should not take away someone else’s life or harm them physically or emotionally because all lives are sacred just like how Mecca is a sacred place for Muslims all over the world. We should also strive to spread knowledge about Islam so more people can benefit from its teachings instead of causing harm with our words or actions towards one another.
