[Machine] Abdullah ibn Mas'ood used to give us sermons every Thursday and would say, "The most truthful speech is the Book of Allah, and the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad ﷺ . The worst of all things are newly-invented matters (in religion), and every innovation is a misguidance. The most evil of all affairs are those that are newly-invented, and indeed you are all gathered upon one level, so the eyesight will guide you and the caller will make you hear. Know that the miserable one is the one who is miserable in his mother's womb, and the happy one is the one who is admonished without experiencing it himself."
كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ يَخْطُبُنَا كُلَّ خَمِيسٍ فَيَقُولُ «إِنَّ أَصْدَقَ الْحَدِيثِ كِتَابُ اللهِ وَخَيْرَ الْهَدْيِ هَدْيُ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ وَكُلَّ مُحْدَثَةٍ بِدْعَةٌ وَكُلَّ بِدْعَةٍ ضَلَالَةٌ وَشَرَّ الْأُمُورِ مُحْدَثَاتُهَا وَإِنَّكُمْ مَجْمُوعُونَ بِصَعِيدٍ وَاحِدٍ يَنْفُذُكُمُ الْبَصَرُ وَيُسْمِعُكُمُ الدَّاعِي أَلَا وَإِنَّ الشَّقِيَّ مَنْ شَقِيَ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ وَالسَّعِيدُ مَنْ وُعِظَ بِغَيْرِهِ»
