وعن جابر بن عبد الله رضي الله عنهما قال : كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم إذا خطب احمرت عيناه وعلا صوته واشتد غضبه حتى كأنه منذر جيش يقول: « صبحكم ومساكم » ويقول : « أما بعد فإن خير الحديث كتاب الله وخير الهدي هدى محمد وشر الأمور محدثاتها وكل بدعة ضلالة ». رواه مسلم. وفي رواية له : كانت خطبة النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم يوم الجمعة يحمد الله ويثني عليه ثم يقول على أثر ذلك وقد علا صوته . وفي رواية له : « من يهده الله فلا مضل له ومن يضلل فلا هادي له». وللنسائي : « وكل ضلالة في النار».
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah (RA): Whenever Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) delivered a Khutbah (religious talk), his eyes would become red, his voice rose and his anger would become intensified, as if he (ﷺ) was like one warning an army and saying, "The enemy has made a morning attack on you. The enemy has made an evening attack on you." He (ﷺ) would also say "Amma ba'du, the best of speech is embodied in the Book of Allah, and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad. And the most evil of affairs are their innovations and every innovation is misguidance." [Reported by Muslim]. And in a narration of Muslim: "In the Prophet's Khutbah on Friday: He would praise Allah and extol Him. Then, following that, he would say - and he had raised his voice..." And in another narration from Muslim: "Whoever Allah guides, no one can lead astray; and whoever Allah leads astray, no one can guide him." an-Nasa'i has: "Every misguidance is (a cause to enter) the Fire."

Takhrij:
«أخرجه مسلم، الجمعة، باب تخفيف الصلاة والخطبة، حديث:867، والنسائي، صلاة العيدين، حديث:1579.»©Explanation:
This is the prescribed sermon (khutbah) that is authentically established from the blessed tongue of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
During the sermon, various states may come upon the preacher (khatib), due to which at times such expressions may appear on his face that are intended to affect the listeners.
In the sermon, only the praise and glorification of Allah Almighty should be done.
The sermon should be brief yet comprehensive.
Such a style should be adopted in the sermon that the listeners are both affected by it and find enjoyment in it, but affectation should be avoided.
One should also refrain from prolonging the sermon, because a brief yet comprehensive sermon does not cause discomfort to the listeners; rather, it is easy and simple to remember and leaves its best effect.
