Sunan an-Nasa'i 1578

‘Utbah ibn ‘Abdullah narrated to us; he said: Ibn al-Mubarak informed us, from Sufyan, from Ja‘far ibn Muhammad, from his father, from Jabir ibn ‘Abdullah, who said: In his sermon, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would praise Allah and extol Him as He deserves, then say: “Whomever Allah guides, none can lead astray; and whomever He leads astray, none can guide. The truest speech is the Book of Allah, and the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad. The worst matters are those newly introduced; every newly introduced matter is an innovation, every innovation is misguidance, and every misguidance is in the Fire.” Then he would say: “I and the Hour were sent like these two.” When he mentioned the Hour, his cheeks would redden, his voice would rise, and his anger would intensify, as though he were warning of an army, saying: “It may attack you in the morning or in the evening.” Then he would say: “Whoever leaves wealth, it belongs to his family. Whoever leaves a debt or dependents, that is for me to take responsibility for; I have a greater claim upon the believers.”
