قَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ الْمُحَبَّرِ، ثَنَا مَيْسَرَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي عَائِشَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ قَالَا:
خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِطُولِهِ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ نَزَلَ ﷺ فَابْتَدَرَهُ رَهْطٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ؓ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ مِنَ الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَالُوا: أَنْفُسُنَا لَكَ الْفِدَاءُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَنْ يَقُومُ بِهَذِهِ الشَّدَائِدِ وَكَيْفَ الْعَيْشُ بَعْدَ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ ؟ فَقَالَ ﷺ لَهُمْ: « وَأَنْتُمْ فِدَاكُمْ أَبِي وَأُمِّي، نَازَلْتُ رَبِّي تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فِي أُمَّتِي فَقَالَ لِي: بَابُ التَّوْبَةِ مَفْتُوحٌ حَتَّى يُنْفَخَ فِي الصُّورِ » ثُمَّ قَالَ ﷺ: « مَنْ تَابَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِسَنَةٍ تَابَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ »، ثُمَّ قَالَ ﷺ: « سَنَةٌ كَثِيرٌ، مَنْ تَابَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِشَهْرٍ تَابَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ » ثُمَّ قَالَ ﷺ: « شَهْرٌ كَثِيرٌ، مَنْ تَابَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِجُمُعَةٍ تَابَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ » ثُمَّ قَالَ ﷺ: « جُمُعَةٌ كَثِيرٌ، مَنْ تَابَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِيَوْمٍ تَابَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ » ثُمَّ قَالَ ﷺ: « يَوْمٌ كَثِيرٌ، مَنْ تَابَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِسَاعَةٍ تَابَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ » ثُمَّ قَالَ ﷺ: « مَنْ تَابَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُغَرْغِرَ بِالْمَوْتِ تَابَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ » ثُمَّ نَزَلَ ﷺ، فَكَانَتْ آخِرَ خُطْبَةٍ خَطَبَهَا

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon to us, and he mentioned the hadith in full. He said: Then he ﷺ descended, and a group of the Ansar ؓ hastened to him before he came down from the pulpit and said: “May our lives be your ransom, O Messenger of Allah. Who can bear these hardships, and how can one live after this day?” He ﷺ said to them: “And you, may my father and mother be your ransom. I entreated my Lord, Blessed and Exalted, concerning my community, and He said to me: ‘The gate of repentance is open until the trumpet is blown.’” Then he ﷺ said: “Whoever repents one year before his death, Allah will turn to him.” Then he ﷺ said: “A year is a long time. Whoever repents one month before his death, Allah will turn to him.” Then he ﷺ said: “A month is a long time. Whoever repents one week before his death, Allah will turn to him.” Then he ﷺ said: “A week is a long time. Whoever repents one day before his death, Allah will turn to him.” Then he ﷺ said: “A day is a long time. Whoever repents one hour before his death, Allah will turn to him.” Then he ﷺ said: “Whoever repents before he gargles with death, Allah will turn to him.” Then he ﷺ descended, and it was the last sermon he delivered.
