Bayhaqi 5800 — How the sermon should ideally be

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عَمْرٍو، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ثنا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ فَيَحْمَدُ اللهَ وَيُثْنِي عَلَيْهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: " مَنْ يَهْدِ اللهُ فَلَا مُضِلَّ لَهُ، وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهُ، وَخَيْرُ الْحَدِيثِ كِتَابُ اللهِ، وَخَيْرُ الْهَدْيِ هَدْيُ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَشَرُّ الْأُمُورِ مُحْدَثَاتُهَا، وَكُلُّ مُحْدَثَةٍ بِدْعَةٌ، وَكُلُّ بِدْعَةٍ ضَلَالَةٌ ". وَكَانَ إِذَا ذَكَرَ السَّاعَةَ عَلَا صَوْتُهُ، وَاحْمَرَّتْ وَجْنَتَاهُ، وَاشْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ كَأَنَّهُ مُنْذِرُ جَيْشٍ يَقُولُ: " صَبَّحَكُمْ مَسَّاكُمْ، مَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِوَرَثَتِهِ، وَمَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْنًا أَوْ ضَيَاعًا فَإِلَيَّ وَعَلَيَّ، أَنَا وَلِيُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ " رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ.
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would address the people, praising and extolling Allah as He deserves, and then he would say: "Whomever Allah guides, there is none to lead him astray, and whomever He leads astray, there is none to guide him. The best speech is the Book of Allah, the best way is the way of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the worst of matters are the newly invented matters, every newly invented matter is an innovation, and every innovation is misguidance." And when he (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the Hour, his (peace and blessings be upon him) voice would become loud, his cheeks would turn red and his anger would intensify, as though he (peace and blessings be upon him) were warning of an army that would attack you in the morning or the evening. (And he (peace and blessings be upon him) would say:) "Whoever leaves behind wealth, it is for his heirs, and whoever leaves behind a debt or dependents, that is my responsibility, and I am the guardian of the believers."
