From the Musnad of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1101 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon
حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ : خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - خُطْبَةً بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى مُغَيْرِبَانِ الشَّمْسِ ، حَفِظَهَا مَنْ حَفِظَهَا وَنَسِيَهَا مَنْ نَسِيَهَا ، فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : « أَمَّا بَعْدُ ، فَإِنَّ الدُّنْيَا حُلْوَةٌ خَضِرَةٌ ، وَإِنَّ اللهَ مُسْتَخْلِفُكُمْ فِيهَا فَنَاظِرٌ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ ، أَلَا فَاتَّقُوا الدُّنْيَا وَاتَّقُوا النِّسَاءَ . أَلَا إِنَّ لِكُلِّ غَادِرٍ لِوَاءً كَغَدْرَتِهِ ، وَلَا غَدْرَ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ غَدْرِ أَمِيرِ جَمَاعَةٍ . أَلَا إِنَّ خَيْرَ الرِّجَالِ مَنْ كَانَ بَطِيءَ الْغَضَبِ ، سَرِيعَ الْفَيْءِ ، وَشَرَّ الرِّجَالِ مَنْ كَانَ سَرِيعَ الْغَضَبِ ، بَطِيءَ الْفَيْءِ ، فَإِذَا كَانَ سَرِيعَ الْغَضَبِ ، سَرِيعَ الْفَيْءِ ، فَإِنَّهَا بِهَا ، وَإِذَا كَانَ بَطِيءَ الْغَضَبِ ، بَطِيءَ الْفَيْءِ ، فَإِنَّهَا بِهَا . أَلَا إِنَّ خَيْرَ التُّجَّارِ مَنْ كَانَ حَسَنَ الْقَضَاءِ حَسَنَ الطَّلَبِ ، وَشَرَّ التُّجَّارِ مَنْ كَانَ سَيِّئَ الْقَضَاءِ سَيِّئَ الطَّلَبِ ، فَإِذَا كَانَ الرَّجُلُ سَيِّئَ الْقَضَاءِ حَسَنَ الطَّلَبِ ، فَإِنَّهَا بِهَا ، وَإِذَا كَانَ الرَّجُلُ حَسَنَ الْقَضَاءِ سَيِّئَ الطَّلَبِ ، فَإِنَّهَا بِهَا . أَلَا إِنَّ الْغَضَبَ جَمْرَةٌ تُوقَدُ فِي جَوْفِ ابْنِ آدَمَ ، أَوَلَمْ تَرَوْا إِلَى عَيْنَيْهِ وَانْتِفَاخِ أَوْدَاجِهِ ؟ فَمَنْ أَحَسَّ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَلْزَقْ بِالْأَرْضِ ، وَلَا يَمْنَعَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ مَهَابَةُ النَّاسِ أَنْ يَقُولَ الْحَقَّ إِذَا عَلِمَهُ . أَلَا إِنَّ أَفْضَلَ الْجِهَادِ كَلِمَةُ حَقٍّ عِنْدَ سُلْطَانٍ جَائِرٍ » . فَلَمَّا كَانَ عِنْدَ مُغَيْرِبَانِ الشَّمْسِ قَالَ : « أَلَا إِنَّ قَدْرَ مَا قَضَى مِنَ الدُّنْيَا فِيمَا بَقِيَ مِنْهَا كَقَدْرِ مَا مَضَى مِنْ يَوْمِنَا فِيمَا بَقِيَ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon to us after the Asr prayer which lasted until sunset; whoever remembered it remembered it, and whoever forgot it forgot it. He (peace and blessings be upon him) praised Allah Almighty and extolled Him, and then said: "To proceed: Indeed, this world is sweet and green, and Allah Almighty is going to make you successors in it and see how you act. Beware! Guard yourselves against the trials of the world and guard yourselves against the trials of women. Take heed! For every betrayer there will be a banner in proportion to his betrayal, and there is no betrayal greater than the betrayal of a ruler of the people. Listen! The best of men is the one whose anger comes slowly and ends quickly, and the worst of men is the one whose anger comes quickly and ends slowly. So if someone's anger comes quickly and also cools down quickly, then the one trait offsets the other (and they are equal), and if someone's anger comes slowly and also ends slowly, then this too is equal. Listen! The best trader is the one who is good in repaying and also good in demanding his due, and the worst trader is the one who is bad in repaying and also harsh in demanding. So if someone is bad in repaying but good in demanding, this is equal, and if someone is good in repaying but bad in demanding, this too is equal. Take heed! Anger is a burning ember kindled inside the son of Adam. Have you not seen the red eyes of the angry person and the swollen veins of his neck? So whoever feels any such state, let him cling to the ground. And let not the awe and fear of people prevent any of you from speaking the truth when he knows it. Listen! The best jihad is to speak a word of truth before a tyrannical ruler." Then, when the sun was about to set, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take heed! The period of the world that has passed, compared with what remains of it, is like the part of this day of yours that has passed compared with the time that remains."
