Assalamu Alaikum, Couple days ago, one brother asked for Hutbe-i Veda (farewell sermon). I have one written, so i am sending it. I apologize for typing mistake if there is. Serdar... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Farewell Sermon All praise is for Allah. We praise Him; seek His help and pardon; and we turn to Him. We take refuge with Allah from the evils of ourselves and from the evil consequences of our actions. There is none to lead him astray whom Allah guideth aright and there is none to guide him aright whom He misguideth. I bear witness that there no god but Allah, alone without any partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Apostle. I admonish you, O slaves of Allah, to fear Allah and I urge you to be obedient to him and I open the speech with that which is good. Now to proceed, O people, listen to me; I will deliver a message to you. For I do not know whether I shall ever have an opportunity to meet you after this year in this place. O people, verily your blood (lives), your properties and your honour are sacred and inviolable to you till you appear before your Lord, like the sacredness of this day of yours, in this city of yours. Verily, you will meet your Lord and He will ask you about your actions. Lo, have I conveyed the message? O Allah, be witness. So he who bears with himself any trust, should restore it to the person who deposited it with him. Be aware; no one committing a crime is responsible for it but himself. Neither son is responsible for the crime of his father nor father is responsible for the crime of his son. Lo, O people, listen to my words and understand them. You must know that a Muslim is the brother of a Muslim and the Muslims are one brotherhood. Nothing belonging to his brother is lawful for a Muslim except what he himself allows. So you should not oppress yourselves. O Allah, have I conveyed the message? Behold, everything of Ignorance is put down under my two feet. The blood-revenges of the Age of Ignorance are remitted. Verily, the first blood-revenge I cancel is the blood-revenge of Ibn RabiUah ibn Harith, who was nursed in the tribe of SaUd and whom the Hudhayl I killed. The interest of the Age of Ignorance period is abolished. But you will receive your capital-stock. Do not oppress and you will not be oppressed. Allah has decreed that there is no interest. The first interest which I cancel is that of TAbbas ibn al-Muttalib. Verily it is cancelled entirely. O people, do fear Allah concerning women. You have taken them with the trust of Allah and you have made their private parts lawful with the word of Allah. Verily you have received certain right over your women and your women have certain rights over you. Your right over them is that they should not make anybody, whom you dislike, trample down your beds, and that they should not allow anyone whom you dislike (to enter) into your houses. If they perform such an action, then Allah has permitted you to harass them, keep them separate in their beds and beat them but not severely. If they refrain they must have their sustenance and clothing justly from you. Behold, receive with kindness the recommendation given about women. For they are middle-aged women (or helpers) with you. They do not posses anything for themselves and you cannot have from them more than that. If they obey you in this way, then you should not treat them unjustly. Lo, have I conveyed? O Allah, be witness. O people, listen and obey though a mangled Abyssinian slave becomes your ruler who executes the Book of Allah among you. O people, verily Allah appropriate to everyone his due. No will is valid for an inheritor and a will is not lawful for more than one- third (of the property) The child belongs to the (legal) bed and for the adulterer there is stoning. He who relates (his genealogy) to other than his father or claims his clientship to other than his master, the curse of Allah, the angles and the people - all these - be upon him. Allah will accept from him neither repentance nor righteousness. O people, verily satan is disappointed from being ever worshipped in this land of yours. But he is satisfied to be obeyed in other matters that you think very trifling of your actions. So be cautious of him in your religion. Verily, I have left behind among you that which if you catch hold of you will never be misled later on - a conspicuous thing, the Book of Allah and the sunnah of His Apostle. O people, Gabriel came to me, conveyed salam from my Lord and said: RVerily Allah, the Mighty and the Great, has forgiven the people of Arafat and the Sanctuary (to forgo) their short comings.S TUmar ibn al-Khattab stood up and said: RO Apostle of Allah, is it for us only?S He replied: RIt is for you and for those who are to come after you till the Day of Resurrection.S And you will be asked about me, then what would you say? They replied: RWe bear witness that you have conveyed the message. Discharged (your duty) and admonished.S Then he said, raising his ring-finger towards heaven and pointing it out towards the people: RO Allah, bear witness: O Allah, bear witness: O Allah, bear witness.S

Assalamu `alaykum, In article <1991Jun14.221905.13059@nntp-server.caltech.edu> jnawaz@skat.usc.edu (Jemshed Nawaz) writes: > >Was that the whole Khutba..... for example, a friend of mine told me >that our Prophet(SAAW) mentioned that Hadrat Ali was the Wali of Allah >in the Farewell Speech.... could someone please confirm. `Ali Ibn Abi Talib was not mentioned in the Kutbah either by name or by reference. Those who say he was designated as a 'wali' say that the Messenger (PBUH) said so on the way back from Hajj that year (At lease that is the opinion of Dawudi Buhras, I am not aware of other opinions.) The majority of Muslims, however, find no hadith to that effect. Assalamu `alaykum, Mamdouh Maher
