[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught us two sermons, the sermon of prayer and the sermon of necessity. As for the sermon of necessity, it begins with "Alhamdulillah, we seek His help and seek His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evils of ourselves and from our bad deeds. Whoever Allah guides, no one can misguide him, and whoever He misguides, no one can guide him. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger." Zuhair stood and narrated to us, Amr bin Ali informed us, Khalaf bin Tamim narrated to us from Zuhair, who narrated to us from Abu Ishaq, who narrated from Abu Al-Ahwas, who narrated from Abdullah, who said: "When one of you wants to give a sermon of necessity, let him begin by saying 'Alhamdulillah, we seek His help, similar to it' and 'He is One, with no partner.' Shu'bah contradicted them and reported from Abu Ishaq, who narrated from Abu Ubaidah, who narrated from Abdullah."
