رَوَاهُ عِكْرِمَةُ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
Ikrimah narrated it from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
وَقَالَ مَحْمُودٌ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَتْنِي فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ الْمُنْذِرِ ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، قَالَتْ : دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا وَالنَّاسُ يُصَلُّونَ ، قُلْتُ : مَا شَأْنُ النَّاسِ ؟ فَأَشَارَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ، فَقُلْتُ : آيَةٌ ، فَأَشَارَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا أَيْ نَعَمْ ، قَالَتْ : فَأَطَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جِدًّا حَتَّى تَجَلَّانِي الْغَشْيُ وَإِلَى جَنْبِي قِرْبَةٌ فِيهَا مَاءٌ فَفَتَحْتُهَا فَجَعَلْتُ أَصُبُّ مِنْهَا عَلَى رَأْسِي فَانْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَقَدْ تَجَلَّتِ الشَّمْسُ فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ وَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : أَمَّا بَعْدُ ، قَالَتْ : وَلَغَطَ نِسْوَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَانْكَفَأْتُ إِلَيْهِنَّ لِأُسَكِّتَهُنَّ فَقُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ مَا قَالَ ، قَالَتْ : قَالَ : مَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ لَمْ أَكُنْ أُرِيتُهُ إِلَّا قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا حَتَّى الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ ، وَإِنَّهُ قَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّكُمْ تُفْتَنُونَ فِي الْقُبُورِ مِثْلَ أَوْ قَرِيبَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ ، يُؤْتَى أَحَدُكُمْ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ مَا عِلْمُكَ بِهَذَا الرَّجُلِ فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ أَوْ قَالَ الْمُوقِنُ شَكَّ هِشَامٌ ، فَيَقُولُ هُوَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ هُوَ مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : جَاءَنَا بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالْهُدَى ، فَآمَنَّا وَأَجَبْنَا وَاتَّبَعْنَا وَصَدَّقْنَا ، فَيُقَالُ لَهُ : نَمْ صَالِحًا قَدْ كُنَّا نَعْلَمُ إِنْ كُنْتَ لَتُؤْمِنُ بِهِ ، وَأَمَّا الْمُنَافِقُ أَوْ قَالَ الْمُرْتَابُ شَكَّ هِشَامٌ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ : مَا عِلْمُكَ بِهَذَا الرَّجُلِ ، فَيَقُولُ : لَا أَدْرِي سَمِعْتُ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ شَيْئًا ، فَقُلْتُ : قَالَ هِشَامٌ : فَلَقَدْ قَالَتْ لِي فَاطِمَةُ فَأَوْعَيْتُهُ غَيْرَ أَنَّهَا ذَكَرَتْ مَا يُغَلِّظُ عَلَيْهِ .
Narrated Fatima bint Al-Mundhir:Asma' bint Abi Bakr As-Siddiq said, "I went to 'Aishah and the people were offering Salat. I asked her, 'What is wrong with the people ?' She pointed towards the sky with her head. I asked her, 'Is there a sign ?' 'Aishah nodded with her head meaning 'Yes'." Asma' added, "Allah's Messenger (saws) prolonged the Salat to such an extent that I fainted. There was a waterskin by my side and I opened it and poured some water on my head. When Allah's Messenger (saws) finished Salat, and the solar eclipse had cleared, the Prophet (saws) addressed the people and praised Allah as He deserves and said, 'Amma ba'du'." Asma' further said, "Some Ansari women started talking, so I turned to them in order to make them quiet. I asked 'Aishah what the Prophet (saws) had said. 'Aishah said: 'He said, 'I have seen things at this place of mine which were never shown to me before; (I have seen) even Paradise and Hell. And, no doubt it has been revealed to me that you (people) will be put in trial in your graves like or nearly like the trial of Masih Ad-Dajjal. (The angels) will come to everyone of you and ask him, 'What do you know about this man (Prophet Muhammad (saws)) ?" The faithful believer or firm believer (Hisham was in doubt which word the Prophet (saws) used), will say, 'He is Allah's Messenger (saws) and he is Muhammad (saws) who came to us with clear evidences and guidance. So we believed him, accepted his teachings and followed and trusted his teaching.' Then the angels will tell him to sleep (in peace) as they have come to know that he was a believer. But the hypocrite or a doubtful person (Hisham is not sure as to which word the Prophet (saws) used), will be asked what he knew about this man (Prophet Muhammed (saws)). He will say, 'I do not know but I heard the people saying something (about him) so I said the same' " Hisham added, "Fatima told me that she remembered that narration completely by heart except that she said about the hypocrite or a doubtful person that he will be punished severely."

Hadith Commentary:
This hadith has been brought here because it mentions that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used the phrase "amma ba'd" in his sermon.
Imam al-Bukhari (rahimahullah) wishes to clarify that saying "amma ba'd" in a sermon is a Sunnah.
It is said that the first to use this phrase was Prophet Dawud (alayhis salam).
His "fasl al-khitab" was also this: first, praise and glorification of the Lord Most Holy, then sending blessings and peace upon the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and "amma ba'd" separated this introduction from the main address.
The meaning of "amma ba'd" is that after praise and blessings, now the actual sermon will begin.

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
Imam Bukhari rahimahullah wishes to clarify that saying "Amma ba'd" in the sermon (khutbah) is Sunnah.
Regarding Dawud alayhis salam, it is mentioned in the Qur'an that he was granted "fasil al-khitab" (decisive speech) (: 38:20).
This also necessitates that the praise and glorification of Allah (hamd wa thana) should be separated from the main address by means of "Amma ba'd."
Imam Bukhari rahimahullah has presented several ahadith for this very purpose, showing that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam habitually adopted this manner.
Since Imam Bukhari rahimahullah, according to his conditions, could not find a specific hadith related to the Friday sermon (khutbat al-jumu'ah), he has instead cited other ahadith from which the aforementioned objective is achieved, and this method is applicable for Jumu'ah as well.
The complete explanation of this hadith will be mentioned in the Book of Eclipses (Kitab al-Kusuf), inshaAllah.
