Hadith # 28
On the authority of Abu Najih
Al-Erbadh bin Sariah, who
said :
p The messenger of Allah
gave us a sermon by which
our hearts were filled with
fear and tears came to our
eyes. We said: "O Messenger
of Allah, it is as though this
is a farewell sermon, so
councel us." He said: "I
councel you to fear Allah and
to give absolute obedience
even if a slave becomes
your leader. Verily he among
you who lives [long] will see
great controversy, so you
must keep to my sunnah and
to the sunnah of the rightly-
guided Khalifahs – cling to
them stubbornly. Beware of
newly invented matters, for
every invented matter is an
innovation and every
innovation is a going astray,
and every going astray is in
Hell-fire."
p related by Abu Dawud and
Al-Tirmithi, who said that it
was a fine and true Hadith.
