"In his Khutbah the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to praise Allah as He deserves to be praised, then he would say: 'Whomsoever Allah (SWT) guides, none can lead him astray, and whomsoever Allah sends astray, none can guide. The truest of word is the Book of Allah and best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad. The worst of things are those that are newly invented; every newly-invented thing is an innovation and every innovation is going astray, and every going astray is in the Fire.' Then he said: 'The Hour and I have been sent like these two.' Whenever he mentioned the Hour, his cheeks would turn red, and he would raise his voice and become angry, as if he were warning of an approaching army and saying: 'An army is coming to attack you in the morning, or in the evening!' (Then he said): 'Whoever leaves behind wealth, it is for his family, and whoever leaves behind a debt or dependents, then these are my responsibility, and I am the most entitled to take care of the believers.'"

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ يَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ وَيُثْنِي عَلَيْهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللَّهُ فَلاَ مُضِلَّ لَهُ وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْهُ فَلاَ هَادِيَ لَهُ إِنَّ أَصْدَقَ الْحَدِيثِ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ وَأَحْسَنَ الْهَدْىِ هَدْىُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَشَرَّ الأُمُورِ مُحْدَثَاتُهَا وَكُلَّ مُحْدَثَةٍ بِدْعَةٌ وَكُلَّ بِدْعَةٍ ضَلاَلَةٌ وَكُلَّ ضَلاَلَةٍ فِي النَّارِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ بُعِثْتُ أَنَا وَالسَّاعَةُ كَهَاتَيْنِ وَكَانَ إِذَا ذَكَرَ السَّاعَةَ احْمَرَّتْ وَجْنَتَاهُ وَعَلاَ صَوْتُهُ وَاشْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ كَأَنَّهُ نَذِيرُ جَيْشٍ يَقُولُ صَبَّحَكُمْ مَسَّاكُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ تَرَكَ مَالاً فَلأَهْلِهِ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْنًا أَوْ ضِيَاعًا فَإِلَىَّ أَوْ عَلَىَّ وَأَنَا أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ

"When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon, his eyes would turn red, he would raise his voice and he would speak with intensity, as if he were warning of an (enemy) army, saying, 'They will surely attack you in the morning, or they will surely attack you in the evening!' He would say: 'I and the Hour have been sent like these two,' and he would hold his index and middle finger. Then he would say: 'The best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad. The most evil matters are those that are newly-invented, and every innovation (Bid'ah) is a going astray.' And he used to say: 'Whoever dies and leaves behind some wealth, it is for his family, and whoever leaves behind a debt or dependent children, then they are both my responsibility.'"

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا خَطَبَ احْمَرَّتْ عَيْنَاهُ وَعَلاَ صَوْتُهُ وَاشْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ كَأَنَّهُ مُنْذِرُ جَيْشٍ يَقُولُ صَبَّحَكُمْ مَسَّاكُمْ وَيَقُولُ بُعِثْتُ أَنَا وَالسَّاعَةَ كَهَاتَيْنِ وَيَقْرِنُ بَيْنَ إِصْبَعَيْهِ السَّبَّابَةِ وَالْوُسْطَى ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ الأُمُورِ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ وَخَيْرَ الْهَدْىِ هَدْىُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَشَرَّ الأُمُورِ مُحْدَثَاتُهَا وَكُلَّ بِدْعَةٍ ضَلاَلَةٌ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ مَنْ تَرَكَ مَالاً فَلأَهْلِهِ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْنًا أَوْ ضَيَاعًا فَعَلَىَّ وَإِلَىَّ

"In his Khutbah the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to praise Allah as He deserves to be praised, then he would say: 'Whomsoever Allah (SWT) guides, none can lead him astray, and whomsoever Allah sends astray, none can guide.

(Using translation from Nasāʾī 1578)

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُومُ فَيَخْطُبُ فَيَحْمَدُ اللهَ وَيُثْنِي عَلَيْهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ وَيَقُولُ مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللهُ فَلَا مُضِلَّ لَهُ وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهُ إِنَّ خَيْرَ الْحَدِيثِ كِتَابُ اللهِ وَخَيْرَ الْهَدْيِ هَدْيُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَشَرَّ الْأُمُورِ مُحْدَثَاتُهَا وَكُلَّ مُحْدَثَةٍ بِدْعَةٌ وَكَانَ إِذَا ذَكَرَ السَّاعَةَ احْمَرَّتْ وَجْنَتَاهُ وَعَلَا صَوْتُهُ وَاشْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ كَأَنَّهُ مُنْذِرُ جَيْشٍ صَبَّحَكُمْ مَسَّاكُمْ مَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِلْوَرَثَةِ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ ضَيَاعًا أَوْ دَيْنًا فَعَلَيَّ وَإِلَيَّ وَأَنَا وَلِيُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , delivered a sermon in which he praised and glorified Allah for His qualities and attributes. Then he said, "The most truthful of all speech is the Book of Allah, and the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad. The worst of all matters are newly invented ones, and every newly invented matter is an innovation, and every innovation is a misguidance." Then he raised his voice, his cheeks turned red, and his anger intensified when he mentioned the Hour (i.e. the Day of Judgment), as if he were warning of an approaching army. He said, "Has the Hour come upon you? I have been sent and the Hour are like these." He pointed with his index and middle fingers. He continued, saying, "The Hour has come upon you in the morning and in the evening. Whoever leaves behind wealth, it will go to his family, and whoever leaves behind debt or dependents, it is upon me and upon the Muslims to take care of them. And when he said 'dependents,' he meant his children."

خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ بِمَا هُوَ لَهُ أَهْلٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ أَصْدَقَ الْحَدِيثِ كِتَابُ اللهِ وَإِنَّ أَفْضَلَ الْهَدْيِ هَدْيُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَشَرَّ الْأُمُورِ مُحْدَثَاتُهَا وَكُلَّ بِدْعَةٍ ضَلَالَةٌ ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُ صَوْتَهُ وَتَحْمَرُّ وَجْنَتَاهُ وَيَشْتَدُّ غَضَبُهُ إِذَا ذَكَرَ السَّاعَةَ كَأَنَّهُ مُنْذِرُ جَيْشٍ قَالَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَتَتْكُمُ السَّاعَةُ بُعِثْتُ أَنَا وَالسَّاعَةُ هَكَذَا وَأَشَارَ بِأُصْبُعَيْهِ السَّبَّابَةِ وَالْوُسْطَى صَبَّحَتْكُمُ السَّاعَةُ وَمَسَّتْكُمْ مَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِأَهْلِهِ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْنًا أَوْ ضَيَاعًا فَإِلَيَّ وَعَلَيَّ وَالضَّيَاعُ يَعْنِي وَلَدَهُ الْمَسَاكِينَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , would redden and his cheeks would flush when he mentioned the Hour (the Day of Judgment). His anger would intensify, and his voice would rise as if he were a warner of an approaching army, saying, "I am the closest to the believers than their own selves. Whoever leaves behind wealth, it belongs to his family, and whoever leaves behind a debt or dependents, then it is upon me." And I am the closest to the believers.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا ذَكَرَ السَّاعَةَ احْمَرَّتْ وَجْنَتَاهُ وَاشْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ وَعَلَا صَوْتُهُ كَأَنَّهُ مُنْذِرُ جَيْشٍ صُبِّحْتُمْ مُسِّيتُمْ قَالَ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ أَنَا أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِأَهْلِهِ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْنًا أَوْ ضَيَاعًا فَإِلَيَّ وَعَلَيَّ وَأَنَا أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ

[Machine] "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned the Hour (Day of Judgment), his cheeks would turn red, his anger would intensify, and his voice would rise as if he were warning of an approaching army. He would say, 'You have experienced both morning and evening.' He would also say, 'I am more deserving of the believers than themselves. Whoever leaves behind wealth, it belongs to their family, and whoever leaves behind a debt or dependents, it is my responsibility and mine alone. I am more deserving of the believers.'"

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا ذَكَرَ السَّاعَةَ احْمَرَّتْ وَجْنَتَاهُ وَاشْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ وَعَلَا صَوْتُهُ كَأَنَّهُ مُنْذِرُ جَيْشٍ قَالَ صُبِّحْتُمْ مُسِّيتُمْ قَالَ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ «أَنَا أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِأَهْلِهِ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْنًا أَوْ ضَيَاعًا فَعَلَيَّ وَإِلَيَّ فَأَنَا أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ»

When Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) delivered the sermon, his eyes became red, his voice rose, and his anger increased so that he was like one giving a warning against the enemy and saying: "The enemy has made a morning attack on you and in the evening too." He would also say: "The Last Hour and I have been sent like these two." And he would join his forefinger and middle finger; and would further say: "The best of the speech is embodied in the Book of Allah, and the best of the guidance is the guidance given by Muhammad. And the most evil affairs are their innovations; and every innovation is error." He would further say:, I am more dear to a Muslim even than his self; and he who left behind property that is for his family; and he who dies under debt or leaves children (in helplessness), the responsibility (of paying his debt and bringing up his children) lies on me." (Using translation from Muslim 867a)

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا خَطَبَ احْمَرَّتْ عَيْنَاهُ وَعَلَا صَوْتُهُ وَاشْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ حَتَّى كَأَنَّهُ نَذِيرُ جَيْشٍ يَقُولُ صَبَّحَكُمْ وَمَسَّاكُمْ وَيَقُولُ «بُعِثْتُ أَنَا وَالسَّاعَةِ كَهَاتَيْنِ» يُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ السَّبَّابَةِ وَالْوُسْطَى وَيَقُولُ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ الْحَدِيثِ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ وَخَيْرَ الْهَدْيِ هَدْيُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَإِنَّ شَرَّ الْأُمُورِ مُحْدَثَاتُهَا وَكُلَّ بِدْعَةٍ ضَلَالَةٌ» ثُمَّ يَقُولُ «أَنَا أَوْلَى بِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ مَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِأَهْلِهِ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْنًا أَوْ ضَيْعَةً فَإِلَيَّ وَعَلَيَّ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , when he would give a sermon, his eyes would turn red, his voice would become loud, and his anger would intensify, as if he was warning of an approaching army. He would say, "May the morning be pleasant for you, and may the evening be pleasant for you." He would say, "I have been sent with the Hour, like these two fingers." He would separate his index finger and middle finger. He would say, "The best of speech is the Book of Allah, and the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad. The worst of affairs are the newly invented ones, and every innovation is a misguidance." Then he would say, "I am more entitled to every believer than his own self.
