The Farewell Sermon (Arabic: خطبة الوداع, Khuṭbatu l-Wadā), also known as Muhammad's Final Sermon or The Last Sermon, was delivered by Muhammad on the 9th of Dhu al-Hijjah, 10 AH (9th March 632) in the Uranah valley of Mount Arafat.[1]
The Farewell Sermon is mentioned in almost all books of Hadith.[citation needed] Sahih Al-Bukhari refers to the sermon and quotes part of it.[citation needed] Ahmad ibn Hanbal gave the longest version of this sermon in his Musnad.[citation needed]

Various versions of the Sermon have been published, including several English translations.[2][3] The Sermon consists of a series of general exhorations for Muslims to follow the teachings that Muhammad had set forth in the Qu'ran and Sunnah.
