حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ صَالِحٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْكَلاعِيِّعَنْ أَوْسَطَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ
قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِسَنَةٍ، فَأَلْفَيْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ: قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَامَ الْأَوَّلِ، فَخَنَقَتْهُ الْعَبْرَةُ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، سَلُوا اللهَ الْمُعَافَاةَ، فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُؤْتَ أَحَدٌ مِثْلَ يَقِينٍ بَعْدَ مُعَافَاةٍ، وَلَا أَشَدَّ مِنْ رِيبَةٍ بَعْدَ كُفْرٍ، وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالصِّدْقِ فَإِنَّهُ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْبِرِّ، وَهُمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ، وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْكَذِبَ فَإِنَّهُ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْفُجُورِ، وَهُمَا فِي النَّارِ.

✧ I arrived in Madinah one year after the death of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I found Abu Bakr addressing the people. He said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among us last year, and tears choked him three times, then he said: O people, ask Allah for well-being, for no one has been given anything like certainty after well-being, nor anything more severe than doubt after disbelief. You must adhere to truthfulness, for it leads to righteousness, and both are in Paradise. Beware of lying, for it leads to wickedness, and both are in the Fire.'
