Sahih al-Bukhari 3800
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْغَسِيلِ، سَمِعْتُ عِكْرِمَةَ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ يَقُولُ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَعَلَيْهِ مِلْحَفَةٌ، مُتَعَطِّفًا بِهَا عَلَى مَنْكِبَيْهِ، وَعَلَيْهِ عِصَابَةٌ دَسْمَاءُ حَتَّى جَلَسَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ " أَمَّا بَعْدُ، أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ يَكْثُرُونَ وَتَقِلُّ الأَنْصَارُ، حَتَّى يَكُونُوا كَالْمِلْحِ فِي الطَّعَامِ، فَمَنْ وَلِيَ مِنْكُمْ أَمْرًا يَضُرُّ فِيهِ أَحَدًا أَوْ يَنْفَعُهُ، فَلْيَقْبَلْ مِنْ مُحْسِنِهِمْ، وَيَتَجَاوَزْ عَنْ مُسِيئِهِمْ ".
Ahmad ibn Yaʿqub narrated to us: Ibn al-Ghasil narrated to us. I heard ʿIkrima say: I heard Ibn ʿAbbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, say: The Messenger of Allah came out wearing a mantle draped over his shoulders and a dark, oily headband, then sat on the pulpit. He praised Allah and extolled Him, then said, “To proceed, people, people will increase while the Helpers will decrease, until they are like salt in food. So whoever among you is entrusted with authority that can harm or benefit someone should accept the good from those among them who do good, and overlook the wrongs of those among them who do wrong.”
