"O people, perhaps you shall not see me again after this. 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
obligation 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. If they abide by your
rights, 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 anyone whom you do not approve, as well as never
to commit adultery.
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. You know that
every Muslim is the brother of another Muslim. You are all equal.
Nobody has superiority over another except by piety and good action.
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, understand my 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."
