Our dear Bilal the salafii and jihadi and who lives in a world of islamic fantasy and who cannot read islamic sources in Arabic worte

>The Prophet's last sermon included:

For the readers: this sermon is transmitted in more than one recension (variant traditions)and the shi3a seem to have their own version but what is clear is that such sermon is unhistorical and very much anachronistic as it reflects the concerns of later times (3rd century) when the question was can non Arabs become Muslims? and do these converts have to become Arabic speakers? Persians at the time were sorting out what islam is all about (70% of the books of islam were composed by Persians and not by Arabs!) and they wanted to be part of Islam and sitll be Persian and speak their language and not Arabic

But the HIjazi Arabs thorough the concept of al-wali wa al-mawali (the master or Arab and the client or non Arab) viewed islam, and the Quranic imagery as per Q14:4, as the religion of the Hijazi Arabs only and that Muhammad was the gentile prophet (al-rasul al-nabi al-ummi) who belonged to the Biblical line of prophets and he was the Moses of the Arabs and he came with a scared language (Arabic v.Hebrew) and a cultic site (early on Jerusalem and later on Mecca v. Jerusalem) and a kitab or book (al-Qur'an v. al-tawrah) and a hijra (emigration to Median v. the exodus from Egypt) and a qawm or his folks (Hijazi Arabs v. Jews) but in this sermon we see the wish of non Arabs (read this a Persians) wanting to be Muslims but still be Persians and not Arabs.

>All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab is not superior over a non Arab nor a non Arab is superior over an Arab; also a white is not superior over a black nor a black is superior over a white except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood.

I'm not sure where he got this recension from so where did you get your recension from our dear bilal the fake? and where would i find the words hawa' or al-abyad wa al-aswad in such recension in Arabic? so could you provide me with the Arabic text of your recension me fake?

The recension that is most used is the one from jahiz's kitab al-bayan wa al-tabayyun al-juz' al-thani safha 31 and i would translate it as

O people your god is one and your ancestor is one you all descended from adam and adam was from the earth. inna akramakumu 3anda aalahi itaqaakumu inna allaha 3alykumu khabeer or the nobelest (of all of you) in (the sight of) god is the most devout god knows and (is) aware (Q49:13) the arab is superior to non arab except in devotion

The only thing authentic thing in this so called sermon is aya 49:13 but the rest is anachronistic

Sorry but Islam is really the religion of the arabs only
