28th Hadith Of The Forty
Hadith
On the authority of
Abu Najih Al-Erbadh bin Sariah, who said :
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."
related by Abu Dawud and Al-Tirmithi, who said
that it was a fine and true Hadith.
