Abu Bakr addressed us and said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood last year where I am standing. Abu Bakr wept, then he said: Ask Allah to keep you safe and sound, for no one is given anything better, after certainly of faith, than well-being. And you should be truthful, for that goes with righteousness and they lead to Paradise. And beware of lying, for that goes with immorality and they lead to Hell. Do not envy one another, do not bear grudges against one another, do not sever ties with one another, do not turn away from one another; be brothers as Allah has commanded you.”

خَطَبَنا أبُو بَكْرٍ، فَقالَ: قامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَقامِي هَذا عامَ الأوَّلِ، وبَكى أبُو بَكْرٍ، فَقالَ أبُو بَكْرٍ: سَلُوا اللهَ المُعافاةَ - أوْ قالَ: العافِيَةَ - فَلَمْ يُؤْتَ أحَدٌ قَطُّ بَعْدَ اليَقِينِ أفْضَلَ مِنَ العافِيَةِ - أوِ المُعافاةِ - عَلَيْكُمْ بِالصِّدْقِ فَإنَّهُ مَعَ البِرِّ، وهُما فِي الجَنَّةِ، وإيّاكُمْ والكَذِبَ فَإنَّهُ مَعَ الفُجُورِ، وهُما فِي النّارِ، ولا تَحاسَدُوا، ولا تَباغَضُوا، ولا تَقاطَعُوا، ولا تَدابَرُوا، وكُونُوا إخْوانًا كَما أمَرَكُمُ اللهُ

Abu Bakr stood up, one year after the death of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood where I am standing last year and said: “Ask Allah for well being, for no one is given anything better than well-being. And you should be truthful and righteous, for they lead to Paradise. Beware of lying and immorality, for they lead to Hell.ʿ

عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ قَالَقَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِعَامٍ فَقَالَ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَقَامِي عَامَ الْأَوَّلِ فَقَالَ سَلُوا اللهَ الْعَافِيَةَ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُعْطَ عَبْدٌ شَيْئًا أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الْعَافِيَةِ وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالصِّدْقِ وَالْبِرِّ فَإِنَّهُمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْكَذِبَ وَالْفُجُورَ فَإِنَّهُمَا فِي النَّارِ

Abu Bakr -q. addressed us and said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among us last year and said: “Nothing is shared out among the people that is better than well-being after certainty of faith. Verily, truthfulness and righteousness lead to Paradise and verily lying and immorality lead to Hell.ʿ

إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَامَ فِينَا عَامَ أَوَّلَ فَقَالَ أَلا إِنَّهُ لَمْ يُقْسَمْ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ شَيْءٌ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الْمُعَافَاةِ بَعْدَ الْيَقِينِ أَلا إِنَّ الصِّدْقَ وَالْبِرَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَلا إِنَّ الْكَذِبَ وَالْفُجُورَ فِي النَّارِ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among us last year and said: ʿThe son of Adam has not been given anything better than well-being, so ask Allah for well-being. You should be truthful and righteous, for they lead to Paradise, and you should beware of lying and immorality, for they lead to Hell.ʿ

عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَقَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِعَامٍ فَقَالَ قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَامَ أوَّلَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ ابْنَ آدَمَ لَمْ يُعْطَ شَيْئًا أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الْعَافِيَةِ فَاسْأَلُوا اللهَ الْعَافِيَةَ وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالصِّدْقِ وَالْبِرِّ فَإِنَّهُمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْكَذِبَ وَالْفُجُورَ فَإِنَّهُمَا فِي النَّارِ

Abu Bakr -q. addressed us and said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among us last year and said: “Nothing is shared out among the people that is better than well-being after certainty of faith. Verily, truthfulness and righteousness lead to Paradise and verily lying and immorality lead to Hell.ʿ (Using translation from Aḥmad 49)

إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَامَ فِينَا عَامَ الْأَوَّلِ فَقَالَ «أَلَا إِنَّهُ لَمْ يُقْسَمْ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ شَيْءٌ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الْمُعَافَاةِ بَعْدَ الْيَقِينِ أَلَا إِنَّ الصِّدْقَ وَالْبِرَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَلَا إِنَّ الْكَذِبَ وَالْفُجُورَ فِي النَّارِ»

"عَنْ أبى بكرِ الصديقِ قال: قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ الله ﷺ فقال: سَلُوا الله الْعَافِيَةَ فَإِنَّه لَمْ يُعْطَ أحد أَفْضَلَ من معافاةٍ بعَد يقينٍ، وإيَّاكُمْ والرِّيبَةَ، فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُؤْتِ أَحدًا أَشَدَّ مِنْ رِيبَةٍ بَعْد كُفْرٍ، وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالْصِّدقِ فَإِنَّهُ مع البِرِّ وهمَا فِى الجَنَّةِ، وإِيَّاكُمْ والكذِبَ فإِنهُ مع الفجورِ، وهمَا فىِ النَّارِ".
