Here it is.
Prophet Muhammad's Last Sermon
This sermon was delivered on the Ninth day of Dhul al Hijjah 10 A.H. in the 'Uranah valley of Mount Arafat.
After praising, and thanking God, he said:
"O People, listen well to my words, for I do not know whether, after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefore listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and take these words to those who could not be present 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. Treat others justly so that no one would be unjust to you. Remember that you will indeed meet your LORD, and that HE will indeed reckon your deeds. God has forbidden you to take usury (riba), therefore all riba obligation shall henceforth be waived. Your capital , however, is yours to keep. You will neither inflict nor suffer inequity. God has judged that there shall be no riba and that all the riba due to `Abbas ibn `Abd al Muttalib shall henceforth be waived.
Every right arising out of homicide in pre-Islamic days is henceforth waived and the first such right that I waive is that arising from the murder of Rabi`ah ibn al Harith ibn `Abd al Muttalib.
O Men, the Unbelievers indulge in tampering with the calendar in order to make permissible that which God forbade, and to forbid that which God has made permissible. With God the months are twelve in number. Four of them are sacred, three of these are successive and one occurs singly between the months of Jumada and Sha`ban. Beware of the devil, 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 over your women, but they also have rights over you. Remember that you have taken them as your wives only under God's trust and with His permission. If they abide by your right then to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness. Treat your women well and be kind to them, for they are your partners and committed helpers. It is your right and they do not make friends with anyone of whom you do not approve, as well as never to be unchaste...
O People, listen to me in earnest, worship God (The One Creator of the Universe), perform your five daily prayers (Salah), fast during the month of Ramadan, and give your financial obligation (zakah) of your wealth. Perform Hajj if you can afford to.
All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore, do injustice to yourselves.
Remember, one day you will appear before God (The Creator) and you will answer for your deeds. So beware, do not stray from the path of righteousness after I am gone.
O People, no prophet or messenger will come after me and no new faith will be born. Reason well, therefore, O People, and understand words which I convey to you. I am leaving you with the Book of God (the Quraan) and my Sunnah (the life style and the behavioral mode of the Prophet), if you follow them 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 God, that I have conveyed your message to your people.
notice the part where he said I leave behind me two things, the Quran and my example, the Sunnah, and if you follow these you will never go astray. this is that same quote but slightly chained that every shia person quotes in this forum, every shia says this. and even logically i can prove that the shia version is incorrect.
The sunnis are very keen on sunnah and Quran, they follow (the pious ones) every aspect of it. Any sunni u meet, he'll say that he follows sunnah and quran and so on.
If the Prophet (SAW) said the shia version then that means he disgarded his companions who were with him all the time, and very loyal to him. I've heard shia people say, oh the companions became bad after his dead, well he said that the shia version of his sermon when he was living so both do no support each other.
The only reason the shias have this version is, the later shias to ridicule the companions had changed it so that it would not be parallel with the sunni, and be parallel to their beliefs(which Abdullah bin Saba had spread), therefore make them(Sunnis) seem as kafir because they do not follow ahlul-bayt.
Plus the people who were decieved by Abdullah bin Saba didnt know any of the Sunnah, unless if Hazrat Ali
Alhumdullillah the Prophet SAW never disregarded his companions, nor his ahlul-bayt, he basically said follow quran and sunnah. Prophet SAW never claimed that his family is more superior than anyone else. I have a friend who is hafiz (only 20 parahs) whos directly from the bloodline of the Prophet (SAW) (hes sunni) Do u think he is higher than us all? ofcourse not.
Futhermore, if he said Ahlul-Bayt, where is his ahlul-bayt now? can u walk on the street and say...whos from his ahlul-bayt and not? it was 1400 years ago...and surely they're here from his bloodline but where? can u say?
so we meet one person from his family, are we going to use their ways, and consult every single thing with them? they probably dont know as much because the imaan is much weaker now, people are slowly forgettings (been taking place for 1400 yearS).
But the Quran, can never be tampered with, both sunni shia agree.
and the sunnah, which the sunnis (not referred as sunnis and shias at that time) have protected this...for 1400, the ahlul-bayt may disappear, but the Quran and Sunnah will always be there. people like Imam Bukhari and tirmidi and Muslim who came and recorded all these hadiths , asking people, what did u hear about the prophet the person would say i heard such and such, and then Imam Bukhari would say...well where did u hear it from? he'd say..from my father, where did ur father hear it from....all the way till its traced to the Prophet SAW thats why it said the hadith are sahih.
