Hadith 42
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ بَشِيرِ بْنِ ذَكْوَانَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ يَعْنِى ابْنَ زَبْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي الْمُطَاعِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْعِرْبَاضَ بْنَ سَارِيَةَ ، يَقُولُ : قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ ، فَوَعَظَنَا مَوْعِظَةً بَلِيغَةً وَجِلَتْ مِنْهَا الْقُلُوبُ ، وَذَرَفَتْ مِنْهَا الْعُيُونُ ، فَقِيلَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَعَظْتَنَا مَوْعِظَةَ مُوَدِّعٍ ، فَاعْهَدْ إِلَيْنَا بِعَهْدٍ ، فَقَالَ : " عَلَيْكُمْ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ ، وَالسَّمْعِ ، وَالطَّاعَةِ ، وَإِنْ عَبْدًا حَبَشِيًّا ، وَسَتَرَوْنَ مِنْ بَعْدِي اخْتِلَافًا شَدِيدًا ، فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِسُنَّتِي ، وَسُنَّةِ الْخُلَفَاءِ الرَّاشِدِينَ الْمَهْدِيِّينَ ، عَضُّوا عَلَيْهَا بِالنَّوَاجِذِ ، وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْأُمُورَ الْمُحْدَثَاتِ ، فَإِنَّ كُلَّ بِدْعَةٍ ضَلَالَةٌ " .
´Yahya bin Abu Muta' said:` I heard 'Irbad bin Sariyah say: 'One day, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up among us and delivered a deeply moving speech to us that melted our hearts and caused our eyes to overflow with tears. It was said to him: 'O Messenger of Allah, you have delivered a speech of farewell, so enjoin something upon us.' He said: 'I urge you to fear Allah, and to listen and obey, even if (your leader) is an Abyssinian slave. After I am gone, you will see great conflict. I urge you to adhere to my Sunnah and the path of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs, and cling stubbornly to it. And beware of newly-invented matters, for every innovation is a going astray.'"
