Narrated `Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Bakra's father: Once the Prophet was riding his camel and a man was holding its rein. The Prophet asked, What is the day today?

We again kept quiet, thinking that he might give it another name. Then he said, Isn't it the month of Dhul-Hijja? We replied, Yes. He said, Verily!

It is incumbent upon those who are present to inform those who are absent because those who are absent might comprehend (what I have said) better than the present audience.
