[Machine] "Adhere to the fear of Allah, and to dignity and tranquility, until a leader comes to you. Indeed, he is coming to you now. Then he said, ask for forgiveness."  

أحمد:١٩١٥٢حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ عِلَاقَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَرِيرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَامَ يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ تُوُفِّيَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ فَقَالَ

عَلَيْكُمْ بِاتِّقَاءِ اللهِ ﷻ وَالْوَقَارِ وَالسَّكِينَةِ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَكُمْ أَمِيرٌ فَإِنَّمَا يَأْتِيكُمُ الْآنَ ثُمَّ قَالَ اسْتَعْفُوا
