This hadith is listed as number 2007 in Maktaba Shamila
وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ يَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ وَيُثْنِي عَلَيْهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ : " مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللَّهُ فَلَا مُضِلَّ لَهُ ، وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهُ ، وَخَيْرُ الْحَدِيثِ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ " ، ثُمَّ سَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ الثَّقَفِيِّ .
Jabir reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) , while delivering the sermon to the people, praised Allah, and lauded Him for what He deserves, and would then say: "He whom Allah guides aright, there is none to mislead him, and he who is led astray, there is none to guide him (aright)", and the best of the talk is embodied in the Book of Allah. And the rest of the hadith is the same.
