Bulugh al-Maram 2 The Book of Prayer كتاب الصلاة 364

وَعَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: { كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ – صلى الله عليه وسلم -إِذَا خَطَبَ, احْمَرَّتْ عَيْنَاهُ, وَعَلَا صَوْتُهُ, وَاشْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ, حَتَّى كَأَنَّهُ مُنْذِرُ جَيْشٍ يَقُولُ: صَبَّحَكُمْ وَمَسَّاكُمْ, وَيَقُولُ: “أَمَّا بَعْدُ, فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ اَلْحَدِيثِ كِتَابُ اَللَّهِ, وَخَيْرَ اَلْهَدْيِ هَدْي ُ 1 مُحَمَّدٍ, وَشَرَّ اَلْأُمُورِ مُحْدَثَاتُهَا، وَكُلَّ بِدْعَةٍ ضَلَالَةٌ } 2 رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ. 1 – وضبطت في “أ”، بضم الهاء، وفتح الدال، وهو كذلك في “الصحيح”. 2 – وقول النووي -ومن تابعه ممن أخرج البلوغ- بأن قوله صلى الله عليه وسلم: “وكل بدعة ضلالة” هو من العام المخصوص، لا دليل عليه، وانظر “اقتضاء الصراط المستقيم” لشيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية رحمه الله.

Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah (RA): Whenever Allah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) delivered a Khutbah (religious talk), his eyes would become red, his voice rose and his anger would become intensified, as if he (صلى الله عليه وسلم) was like one warning an army and saying, “The enemy has made a morning attack on you. The enemy has made an evening attack on you.” He (صلى الله عليه وسلم) would also say “Amma ba’du, the best of speech is embodied in the Book of Allah, and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad. And the most evil of affairs are their innovations and every innovation is misguidance.” [Reported by Muslim].
