Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 4092 — the first governor who delivered a sermon
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ قَالَ : نَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْأَسَدِيُّ قَالَ : نَا عَمْرُو بْنُ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ خَبَّابٍ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْخَلِيلِ ، يُحَدِّثُ مُجَاهِدًا قَالَ : نَا مُطَرِّفُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ قَالَ : أَوَّلُ أَمِيرٍ خَطَبَ عَلَيْنَا بِالْبَصْرَةِ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ غَزْوَانَ السُّلَمِيُّ ، وَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ مَصَّرَهَا ، وَكَانَ سَرِيًّا ، فَحَمِدَ اللهَ ، وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا قَدْ أَذِنَتْ بِصُرْمٍ ، وَوَلَّتْ حَذَّاءَ ، وَلَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهَا إِلَّا صُبَابَةٌ كَصُبَابَةِ الْإِنَاءِ ، وَإِنَّكُمْ مُنْتَقِلُونَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الدَّارِ ، فَانْتَقِلُوا بِخَيْرِ مَا بِحَضْرَتِكُمْ ، لَقَدْ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ الْحَجَرَ يُرْمَى بِهِ مِنْ شَفِيرِ جَهَنَّمَ ، مَا يَبْلُغُ قَعْرَهَا أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا ، أَلَا فَعَجِبْتُمْ ، وَايْمُ اللهِ لَتُمْلَأَنَّ ، وَإِنَّهُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ بَيْنَ مِصْرَاعَيْنِ مِنْ مَصَارِيعِ الْجَنَّةِ أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا ، وَاللهِ لَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمٌ كَظِيظُ الزِّحَامِ .
وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَابِعَ سَبْعَةٍ ، وَقَدْ تَسَلَّقَتْ أَفْوَاهُنَا مِنْ أَكْلِ الشَّجَرِ ، وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي وَسَعْدًا اشْتَقَقْنَا بُرْدَةً نِصْفَيْنِ فَلَبِسْتُ نِصْفَهَا ، وَلَبِسَ سَعْدٌ نِصْفَهَا ، وَمَا مِنَّا الْيَوْمَ إِلَّا أَمِيرٌ عَلَى مِصْرٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَمْصَارِ ، وَإِنَّهُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ نُبُوَّةٌ إِلَّا نُسِخَتْ مُلْكًا ، وَإِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ أَنْ أَكُونَ فِي نَفْسِي عَظِيمًا ، وَفِي أَعْيُنِ النَّاسِ حَقِيرًا ، وَسَتُجَرِّبُونَ الْأُمَرَاءَ بَعْدِي .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ إِلَّا أَبُو الْخَلِيلِ ، وَلَا عَنْ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ إِلَّا يُونُسُ ، وَلَا عَنْ يُونُسَ إِلَّا عَمْرٌو ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : عَبَّادُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ .

Mutarrif bin Abdullah bin al-Shikhkhir (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that the first governor who delivered a sermon to us in Basrah was Sayyiduna Utbah bin Ghazwan al-Sulami (may Allah be pleased with him). It was he who first established Basrah as a city, and he was a man of great nobility and honour. He praised and glorified Allah, then said: "Indeed, the world has announced its end and is turning its back and departing swiftly; nothing remains of it except as much as the dregs left in a vessel. You are about to move from this abode (to the abode of the Hereafter), so move on taking the best of what you have with you. It has reached me that if a stone is thrown from the edge of Hell, it (keeps falling for) forty years and does not reach its bottom. Are you amazed? By Allah, it will certainly be filled. It has also been told to me that between the two leaves of one of the gates of Paradise is a distance of forty years, and by Allah, a day will certainly come upon it when it will be packed full with the crowd.
And I have seen myself as the seventh of seven people with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), when our mouths had become sore from eating the leaves of trees. And I remember that Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) and I tore a cloak into two halves; I wore one half and Sa'd wore the other half. And today every one of us is the governor of one of these cities. It has reached me that whenever there was prophethood, in the end it was turned into kingship. I seek refuge with Allah from being great in my own eyes and lowly in the eyes of the people. And after me you will try out (other) governors."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Mutarrif except Abu al-Khalil, no one from Abu al-Khalil except Yunus, and no one from Yunus except Amr; Abbad bin Ya'qub is alone in narrating it."
