O slaves of Allah, I command you to adhere to piety and urge you to obey Him.

O slaves of Allah, I command you to adhere to piety and urge you to obey Him. I begin with Allah Who is the source of everything good. O people, listen to what I will say to you. I do not know whether I will meet you the next year in this situation or not. O people, your souls and honors are as holy as this day in this country among you up to the day on which you will meet your Lord. Have I conveyed? O Allah, be the witness. He whom is trusted with a deposit should fulfill his trust.

The usury of Jahiliyah (pre-Islamic era) is revoked. The first usury that I will revoke is that of al-`Abbas ibn `Abd al-Muttalib. The revenge of the Jahiliyah is revoked. The first revenge that I will revoke is that of `Amir ibn Rabi`ah ibn al-Harith ibn `Abd al-Muttalib. The whole traditions of the Jahiliyah are canceled except the custody –of the Holy House of Allah- and the watering (of the pilgrims). Retaliation is the judge of the premeditated murder.

The ruling of quasi-murder, such as those whom are killed by a stick or a stone unintentionally, is one hundred camels –to be paid as blood money-. Any additional number is a part of Jahiliyah. O people, Satan despaired of being obeyed on this land, but he accepted to be obeyed through your insignificant evildoings.

O people, “Postponing (of the sacred month) is only an addition in unbelief, wherewith those who disbelieve are led astray, violating it one year and keeping it sacred another, that they may agree in the number (of months) that Allah has made sacred. 9/37” The time has rotated as same as the day on which Allah created the heavens and the earth.

“Surely the number of months with Allah is twelve months in Allah’s ordinance since the day when He created the heavens and the earth, of these four being sacred; 9/36” three are consecutive and one is odd. They are Dhu’l-Qa`dah, Dhu’l-Hijjah, Muharram and Rajab, which falls between Jumada and Sha`ban. Have I conveyed? O Allah, be the witness. O people, your women enjoy obligations that are imposed upon you, and you enjoy obligations that are imposed upon them.

The obligations that are imposed upon them are that they should never take anybody to your beds, should never let anybody that you hate enter your houses before they take your permission and should never commit any evildoing. If they do so, Allah has permitted you to prevent them, leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them, but not so harmfully.
