Chapter on a Sermon About Manners, Admonitions, Morals, and Warning Against the World and Women
Hadith 11086
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ خُطْبَةً بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى مُغَيْرِبَانِ الشَّمْسِ حَفِظَهَا مِنَّا مَنْ حَفِظَهَا وَنَسِيَهَا مِنَّا مَنْ نَسِيَهَا فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ قَالَ عَفَّانُ وَقَالَ حَمَّادٌ وَأَكْثَرُ حِفْظِي أَنَّهُ قَالَ بِمَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ الدُّنْيَا خَضِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ مُسْتَخْلِفُكُمْ فِيهَا فَنَاظِرٌ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ أَلَا فَاتَّقُوا الدُّنْيَا وَاتَّقُوا النِّسَاءَ أَلَا إِنَّ بَنِي آدَمَ خُلِقُوا عَلَى طَبَقَاتٍ شَتَّى مِنْهُمْ مَنْ يُولَدُ مُؤْمِنًا وَيَحْيَا مُؤْمِنًا وَيَمُوتُ مُؤْمِنًا وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يُولَدُ كَافِرًا وَيَحْيَا كَافِرًا وَيَمُوتُ كَافِرًا وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يُولَدُ مُؤْمِنًا وَيَحْيَا مُؤْمِنًا وَيَمُوتُ كَافِرًا وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يُولَدُ كَافِرًا وَيَحْيَا كَافِرًا وَيَمُوتُ مُؤْمِنًا أَلَا إِنَّ الْغَضَبَ جَمْرَةٌ تُوقَدُ فِي جَوْفِ ابْنِ آدَمَ أَلَا تَرَوْنَ إِلَى حُمْرَةِ عَيْنَيْهِ وَانْتِفَاخِ أَوْدَاجِهِ فَإِذَا وَجَدَ أَحَدُكُمْ شَيْئًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَالْأَرْضَ الْأَرْضَ أَلَا إِنَّ خَيْرَ الرِّجَالِ مَنْ كَانَ بَطِيءَ الْغَضَبِ سَرِيعَ الرِّضَا وَشَرَّ الرِّجَالِ مَنْ كَانَ سَرِيعَ الْغَضَبِ بَطِيءَ الرِّضَا فَإِذَا كَانَ الرَّجُلُ بَطِيءَ الْغَضَبِ بَطِيءَ الْفَيْءِ وَسَرِيعَ الْغَضَبِ وَسَرِيعَ الْفَيْءِ فَإِنَّهَا بِهَا أَلَا إِنَّ خَيْرَ التُّجَّارِ مَنْ كَانَ حَسَنَ الْقَضَاءِ حَسَنَ الطَّلَبِ وَشَرَّ التُّجَّارِ مَنْ كَانَ سَيِّئَ الْقَضَاءِ سَيِّئَ الطَّلَبِ فَإِذَا كَانَ الرَّجُلُ حَسَنَ الْقَضَاءِ سَيِّئَ الطَّلَبِ أَوْ كَانَ سَيِّئَ الْقَضَاءِ حَسَنَ الطَّلَبِ فَإِنَّهَا بِهَا أَلَا إِنَّ لِكُلِّ غَادِرٍ لِوَاءً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِقَدْرِ غَدْرَتِهِ أَلَا وَأَكْبَرُ الْغَدْرِ غَدْرُ أَمِيرِ عَامَّةٍ أَلَا لَا يَمْنَعَنَّ رَجُلًا مَهَابَةُ النَّاسِ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ بِالْحَقِّ إِذَا عَلِمَهُ أَلَا إِنَّ أَفْضَلَ الْجِهَادِ كَلِمَةُ حَقٍّ عِنْدَ سُلْطَانٍ جَائِرٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَ عِنْدَ مُغَيْرِبَانِ الشَّمْسِ قَالَ أَلَا إِنَّ مِثْلَ مَا بَقِيَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا فِيمَا مَضَى مِنْهَا مِثْلُ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا فِيمَا مَضَى مِنْهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon to us after Asr until near sunset. Some of us remembered it and some forgot it, and in this sermon, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned important matters that would occur until the Day of Judgment. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This world is lush, sweet, and pleasing. Allah appoints you as successors in this world, meaning when one generation passes, another takes its place. He observes how you act. Beware! Refrain from amassing the world and from being overly attached to women. Beware! The children of Adam have been created in different categories: among them are those who are born in a state of faith, live in a state of faith, and die in a state of faith; and among them are those who are born in a state of disbelief, live in a state of disbelief, and die in a state of disbelief. And among them are those who are born in a state of disbelief, live in a state of disbelief, and die in a state of faith. And among them are those who are born in a state of faith, live in a state of faith, and die in a state of disbelief. Beware! Anger is a burning coal that burns in a person's belly. Do you not see that when a person is angry, his eyes become red and his veins swell? When any of you is overtaken by such a state, he should lie down on the ground. Beware! The best among people is the one who is slow to anger and quick to be pleased, and the worst person is the one who is quick to anger and slow to calm down. And the one who is slow to anger and slow to calm down, or the one who is quick to anger and quick to calm down, then these qualities are opposed to each other, meaning a good quality compensates for the bad quality. Among traders, the best is the one who pays well and demands his right well, and the worst trader is the one whose manner of payment is bad and whose manner of demanding his right is also bad. And whoever pays well but demands wrongly, or pays badly but demands well, then the good quality compensates for the bad quality. Beware! For every deceiver, a flag will be set up on the Day of Judgment as a sign, and the greater his deception, the higher his flag will be. The greatest deception is that of the ruler over the common people. Beware! Whoever knows the truth should not let the fear of people prevent him from speaking the truth. Beware! Remember that speaking the word of truth before a tyrant ruler is the best jihad. And when the sun was about to set, he said: The example of the elapsed period of the world and the remaining period of the world is like the remaining part of the day compared to the part of the day that has passed.
Hadith 11087
(وَمِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةَ الْعَصْرِ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ بِنَهَارٍ ثُمَّ قَامَ يَخْطُبُنَا إِلَى أَنْ غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَلَمْ يَدَعْ شَيْئًا مِمَّا يَكُونُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَّا حَدَّثَنَاهُ حَفِظَ ذَلِكَ مَنْ حَفِظَ وَنَسِيَ ذَلِكَ مَنْ نَسِيَ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ نَحْوَ الْحَدِيثِ الْمُتَقَدِّمِ وَفِيهِ أَلَا إِنَّ لِكُلِّ غَادِرٍ لِوَاءً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِقَدْرِ غَدْرَتِهِ يُنْصَبُ عِنْدَ اسْتِهِ وَفِيهِ أَلَمْ تَرَوْا إِلَى حُمْرَةِ عَيْنَيْهِ وَانْتِفَاخِ أَوْدَاجِهِ فَإِذَا وَجَدَ أَحَدُكُمْ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَجْلِسْ (أَوْ قَالَ فَلْيَلْصَقْ بِالْأَرْضِ) وَفِيهِ وَمَا شَيْءٌ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ كَلِمَةِ عَدْلٍ تُقَالُ عِنْدَ سُلْطَانٍ جَائِرٍ فَلَا يَمْنَعَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ اتِّقَاءُ النَّاسِ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ بِالْحَقِّ إِذَا رَآهُ أَوْ شَهِدَهُ ثُمَّ بَكَى أَبُو سَعِيدٍ فَقَالَ قَدْ وَاللَّهِ مَنَعَنَا ذَلِكَ قَالَ وَإِنَّكُمْ تُتِمُّونَ سَبْعِينَ أُمَّةً أَنْتُمْ خَيْرُهَا وَأَكْرَمُهَا عَلَى اللَّهِ ثُمَّ دَنَتِ الشَّمْسُ أَنْ تَغْرُبَ فَقَالَ وَإِنَّ مَا بَقِيَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا فِيمَا مَضَى مِنْهَا مِثْلُ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا فِيمَا مَضَى مِنْهُ
(Second Chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) one day led us in the Asr prayer at its earliest time, then he stood and addressed us until sunset. He (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us of everything that was to happen until the Day of Judgment; some remembered it and some forgot it. What follows is similar to the previous hadith, except that in this one it is mentioned: On the Day of Judgment, near the backside of every deceiver, a flag will be raised according to the extent of his deception. In this hadith, it is also mentioned that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you not see the eyes of an angry man become red and his veins swell? When any of you becomes extremely angry, he should sit on the ground. In this hadith, it is also mentioned that there is nothing superior to speaking the word of truth before a tyrant ruler. When any of you sees an opportunity to speak the truth or is present in a place where it is necessary to speak the truth, then the fear of people should not prevent you from speaking the truth. After this, Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) began to weep and said: By Allah! The fear of people has prevented us from speaking the word of truth. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Through you, the number of seventy nations is being completed, that is, you are the seventieth nation; you are the best and most honored in the sight of Allah. After this, when the sun began to set, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The proportion of the elapsed time of the world to its remaining time is like the proportion of the elapsed part of the day to the remaining time until sunset.
