Sunan ad-Darimi — Hadith #55035

Abu Al-Walid and Hajjaj told us, they said: Shu’bah told us, he said: Abu Ishaq told us, he said: I heard Abu Ubaidah talking, on the authority of Abdullah, he said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, taught us the needful sermon: “Praise be to God, or indeed, praise be to God, we praise Him.” We seek His help and seek His forgiveness, and we seek refuge in God from the evils of ourselves. Whoever God guides, none can mislead him, and whoever He leads astray, none can guide him. “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger.” Then he recites three verses: #O you who have believed, fear Allah. It is the right to fear Him, and do not die except as Muslims. Surah Al Imran, Verse 102 # O people, fear your Lord, who created you from a single soul and created from it He married her and dispersed from them many men and women, and fear God, by whom you ask, and the relatives. Indeed, God is a watcher over you. Surah An-Nisa, Verse 1 #, # O you who have believed, fear Allah and speak words of righteousness {70} He will amend for you your deeds and forgive you your sins, and whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger have certainly won a great victory {71} Surah Al-Ahzab, verse 70-71 #Then he speaks of his need.
