عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ نَصْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ الْعَدَوِيِّ قَالَ خَطَبَنَا عُتْبَةُ بْنُ غَزْوَانَ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ
«أَمَا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ الدُّنْيَا قَدْ آذَنَتْ بِصَرْمٍ وَوَلَّتْ حِذَاءَ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهَا إِلَّا صُبَابَةٌ كَصُبَابَةِ الْإِنَاءِ يَصْطَبُّهَا صَاحِبُهَا وَأَنْتُمْ تَنْتَقِلُونَ مِنْهُ إِلَى دَارٍ لَا زَوَالَ لَهَا فَانْتَقِلُوا بِخَيْرِ مَا بِحَضْرَتِكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ ذُكِرَ لَنَا أَنَّ الْحَجَرَ يُلْقَى مِنْ شَفِيرِ جَهَنَّمَ فَيَهْوِي فِيهَا سَبْعِينَ عَامًا لَا يُدْرِكُ لَهَا قَعْرًا وَاللهِ لَتُمْلَأَنَّ فَعَجِبْتُمْ؟ وَقَدْ ذُكِرَ لَنَا أَنَّ مَا بَيْنَ مِصْرَاعَيْنِ مِنْ مَصَارِيعِ الْجَنَّةِ مَسِيرَةَ أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا وَلَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمٌ وَهُوَ كَظِيظُ الزِّحَامِ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي وَإِنِّي سَابِعُ سَبْعَةٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا وَرِقُ الشَّجَرِ حَتَّى قَرِحَتْ أَشْدَاقُنَا وَالْتَقَطْتُ بُرْدَةً فَاشْتَقَقْتُهَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ وَاتَّزَرْتُ بِنِصْفِهَا وائتزرَ بِنِصْفِهَا فَمَا أَصْبَحَ مِنَّا الْيَوْمَ أَحَدٌ حَيًّا إِلَّا أَصْبَحَ أَمِيرًا عَلَى مِصْرٍ مِنْ الْأَمْصَارِ فَإِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ أَنْ أَكُونَ فِي نَفْسِي عَظِيمًا وَعِنْدَ اللهِ صَغِيرًا وَإِنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ نُبُوَّةٌ قَطُّ إِلَّا تَنَاسَخَتْ حَتَّى تَصِيرَ عَاقِبَتُهَا مَلَكًا وَسَتُبْلَوْنَ أَوْ سَتُجَرِّبُونَ الْأُمَرَاءَ بَعْدِي»

✧ Now then, the world has announced its departure and turned away, and nothing remains of it except the dregs like the dregs of a vessel that its owner pours out. And you will move from it to an abode that has no end, so move with the best of what you have. For it has been mentioned to us that a stone is thrown from the edge of Hell and falls in it for seventy years without reaching its bottom. By Allah, it will surely be filled. Are you amazed? And it has been mentioned to us that the distance between two of the gates of Paradise is a journey of forty years, and a day will surely come upon it when it is crowded with throngs. I have seen myself as the seventh of seven with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and we had no food except tree leaves until the corners of our mouths became sore. I picked up a striped cloak and split it between myself and Sa'd b. Malik; I used half of it as a waist-wrapper and he used half as a waist-wrapper. Today none of us remains alive except that he has become a ruler over one of the cities. I seek refuge in Allah from being great in my own eyes and small in the sight of Allah. No prophethood has ever existed except that it eventually turned into kingship. You will surely be tested, or you will surely experience the rulers after me.
