Musnad Abi Ya'la 2111 — when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمَوْصِلِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِذَا خَطَبَ احْمَرَّتْ عَيْنَاهُ ، وَعَلَا صَوْتُهُ ، وَاشْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ حَتَّى كَأَنَّهُ مُنْذِرُ جَيْشٍ يَقُولُ : صَبَّحَكُمْ وَمَسَّاكُمْ ، وَيَقُولُ : بُعِثْتُ أَنَا وَالسَّاعَةُ كَهَاتَيْنِ - يَقْرِنُ بَيْنَ السَّبَّابَةِ وَالْوُسْطَى - وَيَقُولُ : أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ الْحَدِيثِ كِتَابُ اللهِ ، وَخَيْرَ الْهَدْيِ هَدْيُ مُحَمَّدٍ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَإِنَّ شَرَّ الْأُمُورِ مُحْدَثَاتُهَا ، وَكُلُّ بِدْعَةٍ ضَلَالَةٌ ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ : أَنَا أَوْلَى بِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ ، مَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِأَهْلِهِ ، وَمَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْنًا وَضَيْعَةً إِلَيَّ وَعَلَيَّ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon, his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed eyes would turn red, his voice would rise, and his intensity and anger would become so severe that it was as if he (peace and blessings be upon him) were a herald warning an army, saying: "(The enemy) is about to attack you in the morning or in the evening." And he (peace and blessings be upon him) would say: "I and the Hour have been sent like these two fingers," and he (peace and blessings be upon him) would point by joining his index finger and middle finger. Then he would say: "To proceed: indeed, the best speech is the Book of Allah, and the best way is the way of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him); and the worst of matters are the newly invented things (in the religion), and every innovation is misguidance." Then he would say: "I am closer to every believer than his own self. Whoever leaves behind wealth, it belongs to his family; and whoever leaves behind a debt or dependants in destitution, their burden is upon me, and their care and guardianship are my responsibility."
