Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 7871 — he used to come every Thursday and, standing
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودٌ ، نَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ ، ثَنَا خَالِدٌ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ حَمَّادِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ : أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَجِيءُ كُلَّ خَمِيسٍ فَيَقُومُ قَائِمًا لَا يَجْلِسُ ، فَيَقُولُ : لَا تَقْتُلُوا النَّاسَ ، فَإِنَّ فِيهِمُ الْكَبِيرَ وَالضَّعِيفَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ . قَالَ : فَيَقُولُ : هُمَا اثْنَتَانِ ، فَأَحْسَنُ الْهَدْيِ هَدْيُ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَصْدَقُ الْحَدِيثِ كِتَابُ اللهِ ، وَشَرُّ الْأُمُورِ مُحْدَثَاتُهَا ، وَكُلُّ مُحْدَثَةٍ ضَلَالَةٌ ، أَلَا إِنَّ الشَّقِيَّ مَنْ شَقِيَ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ ، وَإِنَّ السَّعِيدَ مَنْ وُعِظَ بِغَيْرِهِ ، أَلَا فَلَا يَطُولَنَّ عَلَيْكُمُ الْأَمَدُ ، وَلَا يُلْهِكُمُ الْأَمَلُ ، فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَا هُوَ آتٍ قَرِيبٌ ، وَإِنَّمَا بَعِيدٌ مَا لَيْسَ آتِيًا ، وَإِنَّ مِنْ شِرَارِ النَّاسِ بَطَّالُ النَّهَارِ ، وَجِيفَةُ اللَّيْلِ ، وَإِنَّ قَتْلَ الْمُؤْمِنِ كُفْرٌ ، وَإِنَّ سِبَابَهُ فِسْقٌ ، وَلَا يَحِلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَهْجُرَ أَخَاهُ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ . أَلَا إِنَّ شَرَّ الرَّوَايَا رَوَايَا الْكَذِبِ ، وَإِنَّهُ لَا يَصْلُحُ مِنَ الْكَذِبِ جِدٌّ وَلَا هَزْلٌ ، وَلَا أَنْ يَعِدَ الرَّجُلُ صَبِيَّهُ ثُمَّ لَا يُنْجِزَهُ ، أَلَا وَإِنَّ الْكَذِبَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْفُجُورِ ، وَإِنَّ الْفُجُورَ يَهْدِي إِلَى النَّارِ ، وَإِنَّ الصِّدْقَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْبِرِّ ، وَالْبِرَّ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ ، وَإِنَّ الصَّادِقَ يُقَالُ لَهُ : صَدَقَ وَبَرَّ ، وَإِنَّ الْكَاذِبَ يُقَالُ لَهُ : كَذَبَ وَفَجَرَ ، وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَصْدُقُ فَيُكْتَبُ عِنْدَ اللهِ صِدِّيقًا ، وَإِنَّهُ لَيَكْذِبُ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللهِ كَذَّابًا I " ، أَلَا هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الْعَضْهُ ؟ هِيَ قَالَ وَقِيلَ ، هِيَ النَّمِيمَةُ الَّتِي تُفْسِدُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he used to come every Thursday and, standing (without sitting down), he would say: "Do not wear people out to death (with your long talks), for among them are the old, the weak and the needy." Then he would say: "In reality there are only two things: the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and the most truthful speech is the Book of Allah. The worst of matters are the newly invented matters in the religion, and every newly invented matter is misguidance. Beware! The wretched one is he who was written down as wretched while still in his mother's womb, and the fortunate one is he who takes admonition from the fate of others. Beware! Let not the term grow long for you, and let not hopes make you heedless, for whatever is coming is near; far is only that which is not coming at all. Among the worst of people is one who idles about uselessly by day and lies asleep like a carcass by night. Killing a believer is disbelief, reviling him is sinfulness, and it is not lawful for a Muslim to cut off his brother for more than three days. Beware! The worst of mounts are the mounts of lying, and lying is not proper, whether in earnest or in jest, nor is it proper for a man to make a promise to his child and then not fulfil it. Beware! Lying leads to wickedness and wickedness leads to Hell, and truthfulness leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to Paradise. It is said of the truthful person: He spoke the truth and acted righteously; and it is said of the liar: He lied and acted wickedly. And I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say:" "A servant keeps speaking the truth until he is written down with Allah as a siddiq (truthful one), and he keeps lying until he is written down with Allah as a liar." Then (Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him)) said: "Beware! Do you know what al-'adh is? It is carrying words from one side to the other, that is, the tale-bearing that spreads corruption among people."
