(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا
شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ
يَزِيدَ بْنِ خُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ
سُلَيْمِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، عَنْ
أَوْسَطَ ، قَالَ : خَطَبَنَا
أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، فَقَالَ : قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَقَامِي هَذَا عَامَ الْأَوَّلِ ، وَبَكَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : " سَلُوا اللَّهَ الْمُعَافَاةَ ، أَوْ قَالَ : الْعَافِيَةَ فَلَمْ يُؤْتَ أَحَدٌ قَطُّ بَعْدَ الْيَقِينِ أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الْعَافِيَةِ ، أَوْ الْمُعَافَاةِ ، عَلَيْكُمْ بِالصِّدْقِ فَإِنَّهُ مَعَ الْبِرِّ ، وَهُمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ ، وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْكَذِبَ فَإِنَّهُ مَعَ الْفُجُورِ ، وَهُمَا فِي النَّارِ ، وَلَا تَحَاسَدُوا ، وَلَا تَبَاغَضُوا ، وَلَا تَقَاطَعُوا ، وَلَا تَدَابَرُوا ، وَكُونُوا إِخْوَانًا كَمَا أَمَرَكُمْ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى " .
Awsat narrates that Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) once stood up to deliver a sermon and said: "At this place, last year, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood to deliver a sermon." Saying this, he began to weep. Then he said: "Seek forgiveness from Allah, for after faith, no blessing greater than well-being has been given to anyone. Adhere to truthfulness, for truthfulness is associated with righteousness, and both of these will be in Paradise. Protect yourselves from lying, for lying is associated with sin, and both of these will be in Hell. Do not envy one another, do not bear malice, do not sever relations, do not turn your faces away from one another, and O servants of Allah! Be brothers to one another."
