“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon to us and said: ‘O people! Repent to Allah before you die. Hasten to do good deeds before you become preoccupied (because of sickness and old age). Uphold the relationship that exists between you and your Lord by remembering Him a great deal and by giving a great deal of charity in secret and openly. (Then) you will be granted provision and Divine support, and your condition will improve. Know that Allah has enjoined Friday upon you in this place of mine, on this day, in this month, in this year, until the Day of Resurrection. Whoever abandons it, whether during my lifetime or after I am gone, whether he has a just or an unjust ruler, whether he takes it lightly or denies (that it is obligatory), may Allah cause him to lose all sense of tranquility and contentment, and may He not bless him in his affairs. Indeed, his prayer will not be valid, his Zakat will not be valid, his Hajj will not be valid, his fasting will not be valid, and his righteous deeds will not be accepted, until he repents. Whoever repents, Allah will accept his repentance. No woman should be appointed as Imam over a man, no Bedouin should be appointed as Imam over a Muhajir, no immoral person should be appointed as Imam over a (true) believer, unless that is forced upon him and he fears his sword or whip.’”

خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ تُوبُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَمُوتُوا وَبَادِرُوا بِالأَعْمَالِ الصَّالِحَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُشْغَلُوا وَصِلُوا الَّذِي بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ رَبِّكُمْ بِكَثْرَةِ ذِكْرِكُمْ لَهُ وَكَثْرَةِ الصَّدَقَةِ فِي السِّرِّ وَالْعَلاَنِيَةِ تُرْزَقُوا وَتُنْصَرُوا وَتُجْبَرُوا وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدِ افْتَرَضَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْجُمُعَةَ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا فِي يَوْمِي هَذَا فِي شَهْرِي هَذَا مِنْ عَامِي هَذَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَمَنْ تَرَكَهَا فِي حَيَاتِي أَوْ بَعْدِي وَلَهُ إِمَامٌ عَادِلٌ أَوْ جَائِرٌ اسْتِخْفَافًا بِهَا أَوْ جُحُودًا بِهَا فَلاَ جَمَعَ اللَّهُ لَهُ شَمْلَهُ وَلاَ بَارَكَ لَهُ فِي أَمْرِهِ أَلاَ وَلاَ صَلاَةَ لَهُ وَلاَ زَكَاةَ لَهُ وَلاَ حَجَّ لَهُ وَلاَ صَوْمَ لَهُ وَلاَ بِرَّ لَهُ حَتَّى يَتُوبَ فَمَنْ تَابَ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ أَلاَ لاَ تَؤُمَّنَّ امْرَأَةٌ رَجُلاً وَلاَ يَؤُمَّنَّ أَعْرَابِيٌّ مُهَاجِرًا وَلاَ يَؤُمَّ فَاجِرٌ مُؤْمِنًا إِلاَّ أَنْ يَقْهَرَهُ بِسُلْطَانٍ يَخَافُ سَيْفَهُ وَسَوْطَهُ

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , on his pulpit saying: "O people, repent to Allah before you die and hasten to do good deeds. Maintain the ties of kinship among yourselves, and increase your remembrance of Him and your charity, both in secret and openly. You will be rewarded, praised, and provided for. Know that Allah has made Friday a mandatory obligation upon you, written in my presence, in this month, in this year, until the Day of Resurrection. Whoever finds a way to it, but neglects it in my lifetime or after me, treating it with ingratitude and belittling it, and has a just or unjust leader, Allah will not gather them together, nor will He bless their affairs, nor grant them prayer, nor ablution, nor charity, nor pilgrimage, nor any act of worship until they repent. If they repent, Allah will accept their repentance. And no woman will trust a man, nor will an Arab trust an immigrant, nor will a wicked person trust a believer, unless a ruler subjugates him with his fear of his sword and whip. Abdullah ibn Muhammad Al-Adawi is the narrator of this weakhadith who is known for his rejection of the hadith. Muhammad ibn Ismail Al-Bukhari also narrated it, and the scribe of Layth narrated it from Nafi ibn Yazid and Abu Yahya Al-Waqqaq narrated it from Khalid ibn Abdud-Daim from Nafi ibn Yazid from Zuhrah ibn Ma'bad from Sa'id ibn Al-Musayyib from Abu Hurairah from the Prophet, ﷺ . This is the meaning of the weak narration regarding Friday."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى مِنْبَرِهِ يَقُولُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ تُوبُوا إِلَى اللهِ ﷻ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَمُوتُوا وَبَادِرُوا بِالْأَعْمَالِ الصَّالِحَةِ وَصِلُوا الَّذِي بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ رَبِّكُمْ بِكَثْرَةِ ذِكْرِكُمْ لَهُ وَكَثْرَةِ الصَّدَقَةِ فِي السِّرِّ وَالْعَلَانِيَةِ تُؤْجَرُوا وَتُحْمَدُوا وَتُرْزَقُوا وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللهَ ﷻ قَدْ فَرَضَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْجُمُعَةَ فَرِيضَةً مَكْتُوبَةً فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا فِي شَهْرِي هَذَا فِي عَامِي هَذَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ مَنْ وَجَدَ إِلَيْهَا سَبِيلًا فَمَنْ تَرَكَهَا فِي حَيَاتِي أَوْ بَعْدِي جُحُودًا بِهَا وَاسْتِخْفَافًا بِهَا وَلَهُ إِمَامٌ عَادِلٌ أَوْ جَائِرٌ فَلَا جَمَعَ اللهُ لَهُ شَمْلَهُ أَلَا وَلَا بَارَكَ اللهُ لَهُ فِي أَمْرِهِ أَلَا وَلَا صَلَاةَ لَهُ أَلَا وَلَا وُضُوءَ لَهُ أَلَا وَلَا زَكَاةَ لَهُ أَلَا وَلَا حَجَّ لَهُ أَلَا وَلَا وِتْرَ لَهُ حَتَّى يَتُوبَ فَإِنْ تَابَ تَابَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ أَلَا وَلَا تَؤُمَّنَّ امْرَأَةٌ رَجُلًا أَلَا وَلَا يَؤُمَّنَّ أَعْرَابِيٌّ مُهَاجِرًا أَلَا وَلَا يَؤُمَّنَّ فَاجِرٌ مُؤْمِنًا إِلَّا أَنْ يَقْهَرَهُ سُلْطَانٌ يَخَافُ سَيْفَهُ وَسَوْطَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ هُوَ الْعَدَوِيُّ مُنْكَرُ الْحَدِيثِ لَا يُتَابَعُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْبُخَارِيُّ وَرَوَى كَاتِبُ اللَّيْثِ عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ وَأَبُو يَحْيَى الْوَقَّارُ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الدَّائِمِ عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ زُهْرَةَ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَعْنَى هَذَا فِي الْجُمُعَةِ وَهُوَ أَيْضًا ضَعِيفٌ
