حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ هِلَالٍ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، قَالَ: خَطَبَ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ غَزْوَانَ - قَالَ بَهْزٌ: وَقَالَ قَبْلَ هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةِ: خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ -، قَالَ: فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ:: أَمَّا بَعْدُ، فَإِنَّ الدُّنْيَا قَدْ آذَنَتْ بِصَرْمٍ، وَوَلَّتْ حَذَّاءَ، وَلَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهَا إِلَّا، ، صُبَابَةٌ كَصُبَابَةِ الْإِنَاءِ، يَتَصَابُّهَا صَاحِبُهَا، وَإِنَّكُمْ مُنْتَقِلُونَ مِنْهَا إِلَى دَارٍ لَا زَوَالَ لَهَا، فَانْتَقِلُوا بِخَيْرِ مَا بِحَضْرَتِكُمْ، فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ ذُكِرَ لَنَا أَنَّ الْحَجَرَ يُلْقَى مِنْ شَفِيرِ (١) جَهَنَّمَ فَيَهْوِي فِيهَا سَبْعِينَ عَامًا مَا يُدْرِكُ لَهَا قَعْرًا، وَاللهِ لَتَمْلَؤُنَّهُ، أَفَعَجِبْتُمْ؟ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ ذُكِرَ لَنَا أَنَّ مَا بَيْنَ مَصرَاعَيِ (٢) الْجَنَّةِ مَسِيرَةَ أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا، وَلَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمٌ كَظِيظُ الزِّحَامِ "، " وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي (٣) سَابِعَ سَبْعَةٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا وَرَقَ الشَّجَرِ، حَتَّى قَرِحَتْ أَشْدَاقُنَا، وَإِنِّي الْتَقَطْتُ بُرْدَةً فَشَقَّقْتُهَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ سَعْدٍ، فَأْتَزَرَ بِنِصْفِهَا، وَاتَّزَرْتُ بِنِصْفِهَا، فَمَا أَصْبَحَ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ الْيَوْمَ إِلَّا أَصْبَحَ أَمِيرَ مِصْرٍ مِنَ الْأَمْصَارِ، وَإِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ أَنْ أَكُونَ فِي نَفْسِي عَظِيمًا وَعِنْدَ اللهِ صَغِيرًا، وَإِنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ نُبُوَّةٌ قَطُّ إِلَّا تَنَاسَخَتْ، حَتَّى يَكُونَ عَاقِبَتُهَا مُلْكًا، وَسَتَبْلُونَ أَوْ سَتَخْبُرُونَ (٤) الْأُمَرَاءَ بَعْدَنَا " (٥)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،
Translation
English translation
Once, Utbah (may Allah be pleased with him) delivered a sermon, beginning with praise and glorification of Allah, and after saying "Amma ba'd" he said: The world is informing us that it is coming to an end, and it is turning its back and departing, and its remaining duration is only as much as the moisture left in a vessel by the one who drinks from it. And you are about to move to a house which will never perish, so move to that house with the best of deeds, because we have been told that if a stone is thrown from the edge of Hell, it will keep falling for seventy years but will not reach its bottom. By Allah! It will surely be filled. Do you find this astonishing? And we have also been told that the distance between the two sides of Paradise is a journey of forty years, and yet a day will surely come when it will be filled due to the crowd. And I have seen the time when I was the seventh person among those who accepted Islam with the Prophet (ﷺ). At that time, we had nothing to eat except the leaves of trees, because of which our jaws became sore. One day I found a sheet, so I divided it into two parts between myself and Sa'd; he tied half of it as a lower garment, and I tied the other half. And now each one of us is a governor of some city. I seek refuge with Allah from considering myself great in my own eyes while being insignificant in the sight of Allah. And the chain of Prophethood has now ended, and its outcome will be kingship, and soon you will test the rulers who come after us.
