Hadith 6911

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْخُطْبَةُ الَّتِي وَفِي لَفْظٍ كُلُّ خُطْبَةٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا شَهَادَةٌ كَالْيَدِ الْجَذْمَاءِ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Every sermon in which there is no testimony is like a severed hand.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … By "testimony" (shahadah) is meant: "Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluhu" (I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger).
Just as a severed hand has no benefit, similarly, a sermon (khutbah) is of no benefit to the preacher if it does not contain the testimony to the Oneness of Allah (tawhid) and the Messengership (risalah) of Muhammad.
