Bayhaqi 5753 — Raising the voice in the sermon

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ شِيرَوَيْهِ قَالَ: وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَا: ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ 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 "، وَيَفَرُقُ بَيْنَ أُصْبُعَيْهِ السَّبَابَةِ وَالْوُسْطَى، وَيَقُولُ: " أَمَّا بَعْدُ، فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ الْحَدِيثِ كِتَابُ اللهِ، وَخَيْرَ الْهَدْيِ هَدْيُ ⦗٢٩٣⦘ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَشَرَّ الْأُمُورِ مُحْدَثَاتُهَا، وَكُلَّ بِدْعَةٍ ضَلَالَةٌ " ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: " أَنَا أَوْلَى بِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ، مَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِأَهْلِهِ، وَمَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْنًا أَوْ ضِيَاعًا فَإِلَيَّ وَعَلَيَّ ". رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى، وَكَذَا قَالَهُ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ: " كَانَ إِذَا خَطَبَ احْمَرَّتْ عَيْنَاهُ وَعَلَا صَوْتُهُ وَاشْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ ".
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon, his eyes would turn red, his voice would rise and his anger would intensify, as though he (peace and blessings be upon him) were warning of an army about to attack in the morning or the evening. He (peace and blessings be upon him) would say: "I and the Hour are like these two fingers," and he (peace and blessings be upon him) would leave a slight space between his index finger and middle finger. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) would say: "The best speech is the Book of Allah, the best way and conduct is that of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the worst of matters are the newly invented ones, and every innovation is misguidance." Then he would say: "I am closer to every believer than his own self. Whoever leaves wealth, it is for his family, and whoever leaves a debt, it is my responsibility." Ja'far (may Allah have mercy on him) says that when he (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon, his (peace and blessings be upon him) eyes would turn red, his voice would rise and his anger would intensify.
