speech prophet Muhammad last sermon

Here is Prophet Muhammad last sermon speech :
“O People, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether, after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefore, listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and take these words to those who could not be present here today
.O People, just as you regard this month, this day, this city as Sacred, so regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you.
Remember that you will indeed meet your Lord and that He will indeed reckon your deeds. Allah has forbidden you to take usury (interest), therefore all interest obligations shall henceforth be waived. Your capital, however, is yours to keep. You will neither inflict nor suffer any inequity. Allah has judged that there shall be no interest and that all the interest due to Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib (Prophet’s uncle) shall henceforth be waived.
Beware of Satan, for the safety of your religion. He has lost all hope that he will ever be able to lead you astray in big things, so beware of following him in small things.
O People, it is true that you have certain rights with regard to your women, but they also have rights over you. Remember that you have taken them as your wives only under Allah’s trust and with His permission. If they abide by your right, then to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness. Do treat your women well and be kind to them, for they are your partners and committed helpers. And it is your right that they do not make friends with any one of whom you do not approve, as well as never to be unchaste.
O People, listen to me in earnest, worship Allah, say your five daily prayers (Salah), fast during the month of Ramadan, and give your wealth in Zakat. Perform Hajj if you can afford to.
All mankind is from Adam and Eve. An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor does a non-Arab have any superiority over an Arab; a white has no superiority over a black, nor does a black have any superiority over a white; none have superiority over another except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every other Muslim and that Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore, do injustice to yourselves.
Remember, one day you will appear before Allah and answer for your deeds. So beware, do not stray from the path of righteousness after I am gone.
O People, no prophet or apostle 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 leave behind me two things, the Quran and my example, the Sunnah, and if you follow these 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. Be my witness, O Allah, that I have conveyed Your message to Your people.”
Prophet Muhammad last sermon in Arabic
Here is prophet Muhammad last sermon in Arabic :
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
الحمد لله نحمده ونستعينه ونستغفره ونعوذ بالله من شرور أنفسنا ومن سيئات أعمالنا، من يهده الله فلا مضل له ومن يضلل فلا هادي له. وأشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له وأشهد أن محمداً عبده ورسوله.
أيها الناس، اسمعوا قولي فإني لا أدري لعلّي لا ألقاكم بعد عامي هذا في موقفي هذا.
أيها الناس، إن دماءكم وأموالكم حرام عليكم إلى أن تلقوا ربكم كحرمة يومكم هذا في شهركم هذا في بلدكم هذا. وإنكم ستلقون ربكم فيسألكم عن أعمالكم وقد بلغت، فمن كانت عنده أمانة فليؤدها إلى من ائتمنه عليها.
إن كل ربا موضوع، ولكن لكم رؤوس أموالكم، لا تظلمون ولا تُظلمون. قضى الله أنه لا ربا، وإن ربا العباس بن عبد المطلب موضوع كله. وإن كل دم كان في الجاهلية موضوع، وإن أول دمائكم أضع دم ابن ربيعة بن الحارث بن عبد المطلب، وكان مسترضعاً في بني سعد فقتلته هذيل.
أما بعد، أيها الناس، فإن الشيطان قد يئس أن يُعبد بأرضكم هذه أبداً، ولكنه إن يُطع فيما سوى ذلك فقد رضي به مما تحقرون من أعمالكم، فاحذروه على دينكم.
أيها الناس، إن النسيء زيادة في الكفر يضل به الذين كفروا، يُحلونه عاماً ويحرّمونه عاماً ليواطئوا عدة ما حرّم الله فيُحلوا ما حرّم الله ويحرّموا ما أحل الله، وإن الزمان قد استدار كهيئته يوم خلق الله السماوات والأرض، وإن عدة الشهور عند الله اثنا عشر شهراً في كتاب الله يوم خلق السماوات والأرض منها أربعة حرم، ثلاثة متوالية وواحد فرد: ذو القعدة وذو الحجة والمحرم ورجب مضر الذي بين جمادى وشعبان.
أما بعد، أيها الناس، فإن لكم على نسائكم حقاً ولهن عليكم حقاً، لكم عليهن ألا يُوطئن فرشكم أحداً تكرهونه، وعليهن ألا يأتين بفاحشة مبيّنة، فإن فعلن فإن الله قد أذن لكم أن تهجروهن في المضاجع وتضربوهن ضرباً غير مبرح، فإن انتهين فلهن رزقهن وكسوتهن بالمعروف، واستوصوا بالنساء خيراً فإنهن عندكم عوان لا يملكن لأنفسهن شيئاً، وإنكم إنما أخذتموهن بأمانة الله واستحللتم فروجهن بكلمة الله، فاعقلوا أيها الناس قولي فإني قد بلغت.
أيها الناس، إن المؤمنين إخوة، ولا يحل لامرئ مال أخيه إلا عن طيب نفس منه، فلا تظلمن أنفسكم. اللهم هل بلغت؟ اللهم فاشهد.
فلا ترجعن بعدي كفاراً يضرب بعضكم رقاب بعض، فإني قد تركت فيكم ما إن أخذتم به لن تضلوا بعدي، كتاب الله وسنة نبيه. اللهم هل بلغت؟ اللهم فاشهد.
أيها الناس، إن ربكم واحد وإن أباكم واحد، كلكم لآدم وآدم من تراب، أكرمكم عند الله أتقاكم، ليس لعربي على عجمي فضل إلا بالتقوى، اللهم هل بلغت؟ اللهم فاشهد.
فليبلغ الشاهد الغائب.
والسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
