The opening of Makkah and the farewell sermon

In 8 AH he entered Makkah with ten thousand companions, and not a drop of blood was shed. To the people who had stoned him and hurt his family he said: “No blame is on you today. Go, you are free.”

The idols inside the Ka‘bah were broken, and he recited: “The truth has come and falsehood has vanished.”

The farewell sermon (10 AH)

Before more than a hundred thousand people at Arafah:

• Your blood, your property and your honour are sacred to one another.
• No Arab is better than a non-Arab, nor a non-Arab than an Arab — only by godliness.
• The interest and the blood feuds of the old days are abolished, beginning with my own family.
• Fear Allah in how you treat women.
• I leave among you two things: the Book of Allah and my sunnah.

Three months later he died. ‘Umar (ra) could not believe it; Abu Bakr (ra) stood and said: “Whoever worshipped Muhammad, let him know that Muhammad ﷺ has died. Whoever worships Allah — Allah is living and never dies.”
