قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ: " لَا تَرْجِعُوا بَعْدِي كُفَّارًا يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ، وَمَنْ صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ فَهُوَ فِي ذِمَّةِ اللهِ، مَنْ أَخْفَرَ اللهَ أَكَبَّهُ اللهُ فِي النَّارِ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ، لِيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ فَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يُبَلَّغَهُ قَوْمٌ هُمْ أَحْفَظُ مِمَّنْ سَمِعَهُ
✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ said while delivering a sermon during the Farewell Pilgrimage: "Do not revert after me to being disbelievers, striking one another's necks.

Let those present convey to those absent, for perhaps the one to whom it is conveyed may be more mindful than the one who heard it."

Do not revert after me to being disbelievers, striking one another's necks." When the day came that Ibn al-Ḥaḍramī was burned, when Jāriyah b. Qudāmah burned him, they said: "Look at Abū Bakrah"—he was in a walled garden of his—and they said: "This is Abū Bakrah." ʿAbd al-Raḥmān said: My mother narrated to me from Abū Bakrah that he said: "If they had entered upon me, I would not have stirred against them even with a reed."
