حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ رَحِمَهُ الله خَطَبَ، فَقَالَ: "يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَبْعَثْ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّكُمْ نَبِيًّا، وَلَمْ يُنْزِلْ بَعْدَ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ كِتَابًا، فَمَا أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّهِ فَهُوَ حَلَالٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّهِ فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ، أَلَا وَإِنِّي لَسْتُ بِقَاضٍ وَلَكِنِّي مُنَفِّذٌ، وَلَسْتُ بِمُبْتَدِعٍ وَلَكِنِّي مُتَّبِعٌ، وَلَسْتُ بِخَيْرٍ مِنْكُمْ، غَيْرَ أَنِّي أَثْقَلُكُمْ حِمْلًا، أَلَا وَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ أَنْ يُطَاعَ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ، أَلَا هَلْ أَسْمَعْتُ ؟".
It is narrated from Ubaidullah bin Umar that Umar bin Abdul Aziz, may Allah have mercy on him, delivered a sermon and said: O people! Indeed, after your Prophet, Allah has not sent any prophet, nor has He revealed any book after the book which He sent down upon him. Therefore, whatever has been declared lawful by your Prophet (peace be upon him) through his tongue is lawful until the Day of Resurrection, and whatever has been declared unlawful by your Prophet through his tongue is unlawful until the Day of Resurrection. Listen! I am not a judge, but a critic, and I am not an innovator, but a follower. And I am not better than you except that I have more burden (responsibility) upon me than you. And listen! There is no one among Allah’s creation whose obedience should be in the disobedience of Allah. Listen! Have I conveyed (the message) to you?
