al-Hasan’s sermon on the departed standard-bearer
[AI] He stood as a preacher, addressed the people, and said: O people, yesterday a man parted from you whom the earlier ones did not surpass and whom the later ones will not reach. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to send him on an expedition and give him the banner, and he would not return until Allah granted victory through him, with Jibril on his right and Mika'il on his left. He left behind neither silver nor gold except seven hundred dirhams that remained from his stipend, with which he had intended to buy a servant.
قام خَطيبًا فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ: يَأَيُّهَا الناس، لَقَدْ فَارَقَكُمْ أَمْسُ رَجُلٌ مَا سَبَقَهُ الأَوَّلُونَ، وَلا يُدْرِكُه الآخِرُونَ، وَلَقَدْ كَانَ رسول الله ﷺ يبعثه المبْعَثَ فَيُعطِيهِ الرَّاية، فَمَا يَرْجِعُ حَتَّى يَفْتحَ الله عَلَيْهِ، جِبريلُ عَنْ يمينِهِ، وميكائِيلُ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ، وما تَرَكَ بَيْضَاءَ ولا صَفْرَاءَ إلا سَبْعَمِائةِ دِرْهَمٍ فَضَلَتْ مِنْ عَطَائِهِ أَرادَ أَن يَشْتَرِى بِهَا خَادِمًا.
