أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَلَّمَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي شَيْءٍ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ لِلَّهِ نَحْمَدُهُ وَنَسْتَعِينُهُ ، مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللَّهُ فَلَا مُضِلَّ لَهُ ، وَمَنْ يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهُ ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمَّا بَعْدُ " .
´It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that a man spoke to the Prophet about something and the Prophet said:` "Innal-hamda lillahi nahmaduhu wa nasta'inahu, man yahdih Illahu fala mudilla lahu wa man yudlil Illahu fala hadiya lahu, wa ashhadu an la ilaha illallahu (wahdahu lasharika lahu) wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan 'abdahu wa rasuluhu. Amma ba'd (Praise be to Allah, we seek His help. Whomsoever Allah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah (alone with no partners) and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. To proceed)."

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: ➊
The words of the sermon of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) are so comprehensive and impactful that a person of intellect and insight, upon hearing these words, becomes convinced of the truth of his (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) religion and the veracity of his (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) prophethood—provided that he understands the meanings and implications of these words and is a person of reflection and discernment.
➋
Dhimad’s understanding was that madness and insanity are afflictions caused by the touch of jinn, which is why he said:
(إِنِّي أَرْقِي مِنْ هَذِهِ الرِّيحِ)
“I perform ruqyah (spiritual healing) to remove the effect of this wind (i.e., the jinn’s influence).” If you (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) desire and wish, I will perform ruqyah for you as well. So the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) recited to him the words of the sermon so that he could discern how much truth and how much fiction there was in this rumor. Upon hearing these words, Dhimad analyzed and concluded that no expert in the art of speech could even come close to this.
“Namus al-bahr” refers to the depths and profundity of the sea, meaning that in your (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) speech there is the utmost eloquence and clarity.
No champion in this field can reach such a level.
➌
According to the customs and principles of the Age of Ignorance (Jahiliyyah), every tribe and nation would follow their chief. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) considered Dhimad’s acceptance of Islam as a prelude to the entire tribe’s acceptance of Islam, and he also took the pledge of allegiance (bay‘ah) for Islam on behalf of his tribe.

Hafiz Zubair Ali Zai
The following sermon is authentically established from the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in an absolute sense: «إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ لِلّٰهِ نَحْمَدُهُ وَ نَسْتَعِيْنُهُ، مَنْ يَّهْدِهِ اللهُ فَلاَ مُضِلَّ لَهُ وَ مَنْ يُّضْلِلْ فَلاَ هَادِيَ لَهُ، وَ أَشْهَدُ أَن لاَّ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ وَ (أَشْهَدُ) أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُوْلُهُ، أَمَّا بَعْدُ:» [صحيح مسلم: 868، سنن النسائي 6/ 89۔ 90 ح 3280 وسنده صحيح والزيادة منه]
«فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ الْحَدِيْثِ كِتَابُ اللهِ، وَ خَيْرَ الْهَدْيِ هَدْيُ مُحَمَّدٍ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَ شَرَّ الْأُمُوْرِ مُحْدَثَاتُهَا وَ كُلَّ بِدْعَةٍ ضَلاَلَةٌ» [صحيح مسلم: 867]
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah radi Allahu anhu that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: Every sermon in which there is no tashahhud is like a hand afflicted with leprosy (i.e., defective and incomplete). [سنن ابي داود: 4841، وسنده صحيح وصححه الترمذي: 1106، و ابن حبان: 1994، 579]
By tashahhud is meant the testimony of faith (kalimat al-shahadah). See: [عون المعبود 4/ 409]

Benefits and Issues:
➊
It is Sunnah to begin important conversations with the praise of Allah, the Exalted.
➋
Seeking help from Allah in every matter and asking Him alone for success is part of Tawheed (monotheism).
➌
A person’s heart inclines towards sin, as a result of which evil deeds occur. Sometimes a person, considering something to be better for himself, acts upon it, but its outcome is not good. One can only be protected from such bad consequences through the mercy of Allah; therefore, supplication is made to Allah alone that, whether it is the matter of marriage or other important affairs, Allah makes its outcome good.
➍
Guidance and misguidance are in the hand of Allah; therefore, guidance and direction are sought from Him alone.
