[Machine] In the sermon of Abu Bakr, he said: "Don't you know that you wake up and go out for a known purpose? So whoever is able to fulfill their purpose while they are in the work of Allah, let them do so. And you will not achieve that except with Allah. Indeed, there are people who set their own deadlines, so Allah has forbidden you to be like them. Where are those among your brethren whom you know? They have done what they have done in the days of those before them, and they have settled in it with hardship and happiness. Where are the earlier oppressors who built cities and surrounded them with walls? They have become under rocks and wells. This is the book of Allah, its wonders do not cease, so seek guidance from it for a day of darkness and clarify it with its clear signs and explanations. Indeed, Allah has praised Zakariyya and his family, saying: 'They used to hasten in performing good deeds and supplicate to Us with hope and fear, and they used to be humble before Us.' There is no good in a statement that is not intended to please Allah. And there is no good in wealth that is not spent in the way of Allah. And there is no good in someone whose ignorance overpowers their forbearance. And there is no good in someone who is afraid of being criticized by people in regards to Allah."
