Military Expeditions led by the Prophet (pbuh) (Al-Maghaazi)  
 
The Prophet said, ''Time has taken its original shape which it had when Allah created the Heavens and the Earth. The year is of twelve months, four of which are sacred, and out of these (four) three are in succession, i.e. Dhul-Qa'da, Dhul-Hijja and Al-Muharram, and the fourth is Rajab which is named after the Mudar tribe, between (the month of) Jumaida (ath-thania) and Sha'ban.'' Then the Prophet asked, ''Which is this month?'' We said, ''Allah and His Apostle know better.'' On that the Prophet kept quiet so long that we thought that he might name it with another name. Then the Prophet said, ''Isn't it the month of Dhul-Hijja?'' We replied, ''Yes.'' Then he said, ''Which town is this?'' ''We replied, ''Allah and His Apostle know better.'' On that he kept quiet so long that we thought that he might name it with another name. Then he said, ''Isn't it the town of Mecca?'' We replied, ''Yes, '' Then he said, ''Which day is today?'' We replied, ''Allah and His Apostle know better.'' He kept quiet so long that we thought that he might name it with another name. Then he said, ''Isn't it the day of An-Nahr (i.e. sacrifice)?'' We replied, ''Yes.'' He said, ''So your blood, your properties, (The sub-narrator Muhammad said, I think the Prophet also said: And your honor..) are sacred to one another like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this city of yours, in this month of yours; and surely, you will meet your Lord, and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Do not become infidels after me, cutting the throats of one another. It is incumbent on those who are present to convey this message (of mine) to those who are absent. May be that some of those to whom it will be conveyed will understand it better than those who have actually heard it.'' (The sub-narrator, Muhammad, on remembering that narration, used to say, ''Muhammad spoke the truth!'') He (i.e. Prophet) then added twice, ''No doubt! Haven't I conveyed (Allah's Message) to you?''

  Oneness, Uniqueness Of Allah (Tawheed)  
 
The Prophet said, ''Time has come back to its original state which it had when Allah created the Heavens and the Earth, the year is twelve months, of which four are sacred; (and out of these four) three are in succession, namely, Dhul-Qa'da, Dhul-Hijja and Muharram, and (the fourth one) Rajab Mudar which is between Jumad (Ath-Tham) and Sha'ban.'' The Prophet then asked us, ''Which month is this?'' We said, ''Allah and His Apostle know (it) better.'' He kept quiet so long that we thought he might call it by another name. Then he said, ''Isn't it Dhul-Hijja?'' We said, ''Yes.'' He asked ''What town is this?'' We said, ''Allah and His Apostle know (it) better.' Then he kept quiet so long that we thought he might call it by another name. He then said, ''Isn't it the (forbidden) town (Mecca)?'' We said, ''Yes.'' He asked, ''What is the day today?'' We said, ''Allah and His Apostle know (it) better. Then he kept quiet so long that we thought that he might call it by another name. Then he said, ''Isn't it the Day of An-Nahr (slaughtering of sacrifices)?'' We said, ''Yes.'' Then he said, ''Your blood (lives), your properties,'' (the sub narrator Muhammad, said: I think he also said): ''..and your honor) are as sacred to one another like the sanctity of this Day of yours, in this town of yours, in this month of yours. You shall meet your Lord and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Don't go astray after me by striking the necks of one another. Lo! It is incumbent upon those who are present to inform it to those who are absent for perhaps the informed one might comprehend it (understand it) better than some of the present audience.'' Whenever the sub-narrator Muhammad mentioned that statement, he would say, ''The Prophet said the truth.'') And then the Prophet added, ''No doubt! Haven't I conveyed Allah's Message to you! No doubt! Haven't I conveyed Allah's Message to you?''
