أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، هَجِّرُوا فَإِنِّي مُهَجِّرٌ، فَهَجَّرَ النَّاسُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنِّي مُحَدِّثُكُمْ بِحَدِيثٍ مَا تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهِ مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى يَوْمِي هَذَا، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّ رِبَاطَ يَوْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ أَلْفِ يَوْمٍ مِمَّا سِوَاهُ، فَلْيُرَابِطِ امْرُؤٌ حَيْثُ شَاءَ، هَلْ بَلَّغْتُكُمْ ؟ قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ اشْهَدْ.

✧ O people, come early, for I am coming early. So the people came early. Then he said: 'O people, I am going to narrate to you a hadith that I have not spoken of since I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until this day of mine. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Ribāṭ (guarding the frontier) for one day in the way of Allah is better than a thousand days of anything else. So let a man keep guard wherever he wishes. Have I conveyed to you?" They said: "Yes." He said: "O Allah, bear witness."
