Bayhaqi 5804 — How the sermon should ideally be

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا بَحْرُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ثنا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ عَنْ تَشَهُّدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: " إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ لِلَّهِ نَحْمَدُهُ وَنَسْتَعِينُهُ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُهُ، وَنَعُوذُ بِهِ مِنْ شُرُورِ أَنْفُسِنَا، مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللهُ فَلَا مُضِلَّ لَهُ وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَرْسَلَهُ بِالْحَقِّ بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ، مَنْ يُطِعِ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ رَشَدَ، وَمَنْ يَعْصِهِمَا فَقَدْ غَوَى، نَسْأَلُ اللهَ رَبَّنَا أَنْ يَجْعَلَنَا مِمَّنْ يُطِيعُهُ وَيُطِيعُ رَسُولَهُ، وَيَتَّبِعُ رِضْوَانَهُ، وَيَجْتَنِبُ سَخَطَهُ، فَإِنَّمَا نَحْنُ بِهِ وَلَهُ ".
Yunus asked Ibn Shihab about the Friday sermon of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and Ibn Shihab said: "All praise is for Allah; we praise Him, seek His help and seek His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allah from the evils of our souls. Whomever Allah guides, none can lead astray, and whomever He leads astray, none can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the servant and Messenger of Allah. He sent him before the Hour as a warner and a bearer of glad tidings. Whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger has been rightly guided, and whoever disobeys them both has gone astray. We ask Allah to make us among those who obey You and obey Your Messenger, who seek His pleasure and avoid His displeasure. We exist only through Him and for Him."
Ibn Shihab says that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would say in the sermon: "That which is coming near is not far. Allah does not hasten anything because of someone's haste, and He encompasses the affairs of people as He wills, not according to the wishes of people. Allah wills something and people will something else, but what happens is what Allah wills, even if people dislike it. Whomever Allah brings near, none can put him far, and whomever Allah puts far, none can bring him near. Nothing happens without the permission of Allah."
Ibn Shihab says: Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say in his sermon: Successful is the one who has been protected from desires, greed and anger. There is no good except in truthful speech. Whoever lies commits sin, and sin destroys. Beware of sin. The wicked man was created from dust and will return to it. He is alive today and dead tomorrow, so act every day. Beware of the supplication of the oppressed, and count yourselves among the dead.
