His second sermon ﷺ
[ خُطْبَتُهُ الثَّانِيَةُ ﷺ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: ثُمَّ خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النَّاسَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى، فَقَالَ: إنَّ الْحَمْدَ لِلَّهِ، أَحْمَدُهُ وَأَسْتَعِينُهُ، نَعُوذُ بِاَللَّهِ مِنْ شُرُورِ أَنْفُسِنَا، وَسَيِّئَاتِ أَعْمَالِنَا، مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللَّهِ فَلَا مُضِلَّ لَهُ، وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ لَا إلَهَ إلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ. إنَّ أَحْسَنَ الْحَدِيثِ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى، قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ زَيَّنَهُ اللَّهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ، وَأَدْخَلَهُ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ بَعْدَ الْكُفْرِ، وَاخْتَارَهُ عَلَى مَا سِوَاهُ مِنْ أَحَادِيثِ النَّاسِ، إنَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْحَدِيثِ وَأَبْلَغُهُ، أَحِبُّوا مَا أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ، أَحِبُّوا اللَّهَ مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِكُمْ، وَلَا تَمَلُّوا كَلَامَ اللَّهِ وَذِكْرَهُ، وَلَا تَقْسُ عَنْهُ قُلُوبُكُمْ، فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا يَخْلُقُ اللَّهُ يَخْتَارُ وَيَصْطَفِي، قَدْ سَمَّاهُ اللَّهُ خِيرَتَهُ مِنْ الْأَعْمَالِ، وَمُصْطَفَاهُ مِنْ الْعِبَادِ، وَالصَّالِحَ مِنْ الْحَدِيثِ؛ وَمِنْ كُلِّ مَا أُوتِيَ النَّاسُ الْحَلَالُ وَالْحَرَامُ، فَاعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا، وَاتَّقُوهُ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ، وَاصْدُقُوا اللَّهَ صَالِحَ مَا تَقُولُونَ بِأَفْوَاهِكُمْ، وَتَحَابُّوا بِرُوحِ اللَّهِ بَيْنَكُمْ، إنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْضَبُ أَنْ يُنْكَثَ عَهْدُهُ، وَالسِّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ
Translation
✧ [His second sermon ﷺ] Ibn Isḥāq said: Then the Messenger of God ﷺ addressed the people once more and said: Verily, praise belongs to God; I praise Him and seek His help. We seek refuge in God from the evils of our souls and the bad deeds of our actions. Whomever God guides, none can lead astray, and whomever He leads astray, none can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but God alone, with no partner. Verily, the best speech is the Book of God, blessed and exalted. He has prospered whom God has adorned with it in his heart and brought into Islam after unbelief, and chosen it over all other speech of people. It is the best speech and the most eloquent. Love what God loves; love God with all your hearts, and do not weary of God's word and remembrance, and let not your hearts harden against it. For from all that God creates, He chooses and selects. God has called it His choice among deeds, His chosen among servants, and the righteous speech; and from all that people have been given, the lawful and the unlawful. So worship God and do not associate anything with Him, and fear Him as He should be feared, and be truthful to God with the best of what you say with your mouths, and love one another by the spirit of God among you. Verily, God is angered that His covenant be broken. And peace be upon you.
