عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ خَطَبَ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ غَزْوَانَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ الدُّنْيَا قَدْ آذَنَتْ بِصُرْمٍ وَوَلَّتْ حَذَّاءَ وَلَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهَا إِلَّا صُبَابَةٌ كَصُبَابَةِ الْإِنَاءِ يَتَصَابُّهَا صَاحِبُهَا وَإِنَّكُمْ مُنْتَقِلُونَ مِنْهَا إِلَى دَارٍ لَا زَوَالَ لَهَا فَانْتَقِلُوا بِخَيْرِ مَا بِحَضْرَتِكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ ذُكِرَ لَنَا أَنَّ الْحَجَرَ يُلْقَى مِنْ شَفِيرِ جَهَنَّمَ فَيَهْوِي فِيهَا سَبْعِينَ عَامًا مَا يُدْرِكُ لَهَا قَعْرًا وَاللَّهِ لَتُمْلَأَنَّهُ أَفَعَجِبْتُمْ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ ذُكِرَ لَنَا أَنَّ مَا بَيْنَ مِصْرَاعَيِ الْجَنَّةِ مَسِيرَةَ أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا وَلَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمٌ كَظِيظُ الزِّحَامِ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي سَابِعَ سَبْعَةٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا وَرَقَ الشَّجَرِ حَتَّى قَرِحَتْ أَشْدَاقُنَا وَإِنِّي الْتَقَطْتُ بُرْدَةً فَشَقَقْتُهَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ سَعْدٍ فَاتَّزَرَ بِنِصْفِهَا فَمَا أَصْبَحَ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ الْيَوْمَ إِلَّا أَصْبَحَ أَمِيرَ مِصْرٍ مِنَ الْأَمْصَارِ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ أَنْ أَكُونَ فِي نَفْسِي عَظِيمًا وَعِنْدَ اللَّهِ صَغِيرًا وَإِنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ نُبُوَّةٌ قَطُّ إِلَّا تَنَاسَخَتْ حَتَّى يَكُونَ عَاقِبَتُهَا مُلْكًا وَسَتَبْلُونَ أَوْ سَتَخْبُرُونَ الْأُمَرَاءَ بَعْدَنَا
Khalid bin Umair says: Sayyiduna Utbah bin Ghazwan (may Allah be pleased with him) delivered a sermon, praised and glorified Allah Almighty, and then said: "Amma ba'd! Indeed, the world has announced its end and it is quickly turning away; now only as much of it remains as a little water left in a vessel, which its owner drinks up. And you people are moving towards a home that will never end, so move on with whatever good you have with you. We have been told that a stone is thrown from the edge of Hell and it keeps falling for seventy years but still does not reach its bottom. By Allah! Such a vast Hell will be filled. Are you people amazed? By Allah! We have been told that the distance between the two panels of a gate of Paradise is a journey of forty years, but even then a day will come when it will be crowded with throngs. I myself saw that we were seven people with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and our food was only the leaves of trees, because of which sores would appear at the corners of our mouths, and I picked up a sheet and divided it into two pieces between myself and Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him); he tied half of it as a lower garment, but now each one of us has become the governor of a city. I seek refuge from being great in my own eyes but low in the sight of Allah Almighty. Whenever Prophethood ended, its outcome would be in the form of kingship, and after us, soon you too will experience kings."

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Whenever prophethood would come to an end, its outcome would manifest in the form of kingship. What is meant by this is that when a prophet passed away, kingship would begin among his followers; the same occurred with the Muslim ummah.
