This sermon has been recited by the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) on the mount of Aarafat.
After praising God, the Compassionate and the Merciful, the Prophet Muhammad said:
"O people! Listen to me, because I am not sure I will stay alive till the next year. So, listen to what I say with great attention and transmit my message to those who are not with us today.
O people! As you may have great respect for this month, this day, and this city, have, also, great respect for the life and the property of every Muslim. Give the goods that you have borrowed to their due proprietors. Do not harm people, so that you may not be harmed afterwards. Remember the last day of Judgement, where every Man is accountable for his own deeds in this life. God has forbidden usury for you. So, every transaction of this kind has to be cancelled, and all interests due to Abbas Ibn Abd Al Muttalib (the Prophet’s uncle) should be cancelled.
Every right to revenge resulting out of the pre-Islamic era is abolished, and the first to be abolished is the revenge out of the murder of Rabiah Ibn Al Harith (a relative to the Prophet)
O people! The unbelievers try to permit what God has forbidden, and forbid what He has permitted. According to God, the months of the year are twelve. Four amongst them are sacred months. Three amongst them are successive and one interferes between the months of Jumada and Shabbat.
Beware of Satan for the sake of your religion! He has lost all hope in deviating you to the biggest sins, so beware to follow him in the smallest ones.
O people! It is right that you have rights over your wives, but they also have rights over you. Remember that you have espoused them according to the will of God. If they stay with you, they will have the right to be nourished and dressed. Treat your wives with kindness, because they are your partners for life; and you have the right to forbid them from frequenting people that you do not like, or betray you. O people! Pay attention to what I say! Worship God alone; accomplish your five daily prayers; fast Ramadan, and give charity to the poor (Zakat). Perform your pilgrimage if you can.
Adam and Eve are the origin of all humanity. An Arab man is in no way superior to a non-Arab man, and a non-Arab man is not superior to any Arab man. White and black people are on equal status and the only disparity between them is their piety and good deeds. Beware that all Muslims are brothers, and none should plunder the goods of another unless they are conferred to you with willingness. So, do not be unjust to yourselves, and remember that one day you will meet God, and you will be accountable for you deeds in this life. So beware! Do not deviate from the truth after my death.
O people! I am the last of all messengers, and Islam is the last religion. Use your reason, O people, and understand what I say. I leave after my death two things: the Qur’an and the Sunna, and if you follow them, you will never deviate from the right path.
All those who are listening to me, now, should transmit my words to the others in such a way they understand my message even better.
O God, bear witness that I have transmitted Your message to Your people."
* This is but a translation of the Arabic message, I wish that I have done it well.
O God, bear witness that I have transmitted the message of your Prophet (pbuh) to the people.
