Khutbah: Prophetic Warnings and Admonitions

Sermon: The Prophetic Warnings and Admonitions O believers: In the previous sermon, in the wake of the alarm sirens, we spoke about the Quranic warnings and admonitions, and today we speak about the Prophetic warnings and admonitions, and we open with a supplication: That Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, may protect our land from the evil of the wicked and the schemes of the sinners, and that He may protect the men of the army, air defense, civil defense, and the people of the land, both citizens and residents, from all evil, and that He may accept the martyrs, heal the wounded, and those who were harmed by these sinful aggressions. As for the Prophetic warnings, upon our Prophet be the best of prayers and the most complete of peace, he issued them out of mercy for his Ummah and concern for their well-being in this world and the Hereafter. How could it be otherwise when Allah, the Most High, sent him as a mercy to all the worlds and named him the Most Merciful and the Most Compassionate? Allah, the Most High, said: "There has come to you a Messenger from among yourselves, whom your suffering is grievous, eager over you, compassionate and merciful to the believers" [At-Tawbah: 128]. Among his warnings, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him, to the Ummah is to renew their sincerity for Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, and to beware of the afflictions that befall the hearts from the diseases of major and minor shirk, so that the religion of the servants may be safe and their intentions may be sincere for Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, as our Lord commanded and said: "So whoever hopes for the meeting with his Lord, let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone" [Al-Kahf: 110]. Therefore, the Prophet, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him, issued his warning and admonition to the Ummah and said: "The thing I fear most for you is minor shirk." They said: O Messenger of Allah, what is minor shirk? He said: "Riya'" (showing off). And he warned, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him, of the greatest afflictions and sins, and he called them the greatest of major sins, and he said: "Shall I inform you of the greatest of major sins? They said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. He said: Associating partners with Allah, and disobedience to the parents. And he was leaning, so he sat up and said: And speaking falsehood. And he kept repeating it until we said: If only he would be silent." (Al-Bukhari). Among the Prophetic warnings and admonitions is his warning of those who pursue the faults of Muslims, who hunt for their mistakes, and who violate their sanctities, and he said, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him: "O you who believe with your tongues but faith has not entered your hearts, do not backbite the Muslims, and do not pursue their faults, for whoever pursues the fault of his Muslim brother, Allah will pursue his fault, and whoever Allah pursues his fault, He will expose him even in the innermost part of his home." (Sahih al-Jami'). Therefore, and in his exaggeration, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him, in warning from that bad character and its like, he applied the description of "the bankrupt" to the one who is negligent in touching the sanctities of Muslims, and he said, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him: "Do you know who the bankrupt is? The bankrupt from my Ummah is the one who comes on the Day of Resurrection with prayer, fasting, and zakat, and comes having insulted this one, slandered this one, eaten the wealth of this one, shed the blood of this one, and struck this one. So this one is given from his good deeds, and this one from his good deeds. If his good deeds are exhausted before what is owed to them is settled, their sins are taken and placed upon him, and then he is thrown into the Fire." (Al-Bukhari). Among the Prophetic warnings, O servants of Allah, is what he warned, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him, his Ummah from regarding the afflictions of the tongue that the heedless utter, being unaware of the sins that result from letting their tongues run free without restraining them from what angers Allah, the Most High, and he said, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him: "Indeed, a servant may utter a word from the pleasure of Allah, not giving it any thought, and Allah raises him thereby in degrees. And indeed, a servant may utter a word from the anger of Allah, not giving it any thought, and he plunges thereby into Hell." (Al-Bukhari). Among the Prophetic warnings and admonitions is the warning from oppression, tyranny, and depriving of rights, especially from relatives, and he said, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him: "There is no sin more deserving that Allah hasten its punishment for its owner in this world, in addition to what He reserves for him in the Hereafter, than tyranny and severing the ties of kinship." (Sahih Ibn Hibban). Therefore, he encouraged, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him, his Ummah to seek reconciliation from injustices, to hasten to return them, and to fulfill rights, and he said, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him: "Whoever has an injustice against his brother, let him seek reconciliation from him; for there is no dinar or dirham before he is taken for his brother from his good deeds. If he has no good deeds, the sins of his brother are taken and placed upon him." (Al-Bukhari). May Allah warn us and you from the heedlessness of the heedless, and guide us to the straight guidance in His Book. I say what you hear, and I seek forgiveness from Allah for myself and for you, so seek His forgiveness, for He is the Forgiving, the Merciful. Second Sermon O believers: The Prophet, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him, was most eager to establish love and affection among the Muslims, and therefore he warned of the social afflictions in relationships and dealings, and he said, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him: "Do not envy one another, do not deceive one another in price, do not hate one another, do not turn away from one another, and do not undercut one another's sales. Be, O servants of Allah, brothers. The Muslim is the brother of the Muslim; he does not oppress him, does not abandon him, and does not look down upon him. Piety is here." And he pointed to his chest three times. "It is sufficient for a person to be in evil that he looks down upon his Muslim brother. Every Muslim is sacred to every Muslim; his blood, his wealth, and his honor." And following those afflictions is the warning of the Prophet, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him, from suspicion and what follows it of discord, strife, and division, and he said, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him: "Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the falsest of speech. Do not spy, do not probe, do not hate one another, and be brothers. And let no man propose to a woman who is already engaged to his brother until the brother has married her or given her up." (Al-Bukhari) These, O servants of Allah, are the warnings and admonitions of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, which we keep in mind as we pray for our land for safety and security, that He may protect us from its evil and grant us well-being from its sins.

خطبة: الإنذارات والتحذيرات النبوية معاشر المؤمنين: تحدثنا في الخطبة السابقة، على صدى صفارات الإنذار، عن التحذيرات والإنذارات القرآنية، ونتحدث اليوم عن الإنذارات والتحذيرات النبوية، ونستفتح بالدعاء: أن يحفظ الله عزَّ وجلَّ بلادنا من شر الأشرار وكيد الفجار، وأن يحفظ رجال الجيش والدفاع الجوي والدفاع المدني وأهل البلاد من مواطنين ومقيمين من كل شر، وأن يتقبل الشهداء، ويعافي الجرحى، ومن تضرر جرَّاء هذه الاعتداءات الآثمة. أما الإنذارات النبوية، على نبينا أفضل الصلاة وأتم التسليم، فقد أطلقها رحمةً بأمته وحرصًا على عافيتهم في الدنيا والآخرة، كيف لا وقد أرسله الله تعالى رحمةً للعالمين، وسمَّاه بالرؤوف الرحيم. قال تعالى: ﴿ لَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ ﴾ [التوبة: 128]. فمن تحذيراته صلى الله عليه وسلم للأمة أن تتعاهد الإخلاص لله عزَّ وجلَّ، وتحذر من الآفات التي تصيب القلوب من أدواء الشرك الأكبر منه والأصغر، وذلك ليسلم دين العباد وتُخلص نياتهم لله عزَّ وجلَّ، كما أمر ربنا وقال: ﴿ فَمَنْ كَانَ يَرْجُو لِقَاءَ رَبِّهِ فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَلَا يُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِ أَحَدًا ﴾ [الكهف: 110]. ولذلك أطلق النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم إنذاره وتحذيره للأمة، وقال: ((أخوف ما أخاف عليكم الشرك الأصغر))، قالوا: يا رسول الله، وما الشرك الأصغر؟ قال: ((الرياء)) . وحذَّر صلى الله عليه وسلم من أعظم الآفات والخطايا، وسماها أكبر الكبائر، فقال: " ألا أُخبركم بأكبر الكبائر؟ قالوا: بلى يا رسول الله، قال: الإشراك بالله، وعقوق الوالدين. وكان متكئًا فجلس، فقال: ألا وقول الزور، فما زال يكررها حتى قلنا: ليته سكت ." (البخاري). ومن التحذيرات والإنذارات النبوية، تحذيره أولئك الذين يتتبعون عورات المسلمين، ويتصيدون أخطاءهم، وينتهكون حرماتهم، فقال صلى الله عليه وسلم: " يا معشر من آمن بلسانه ولم يدخل الإيمان قلبه، لا تغتابوا المسلمين، ولا تتبعوا عوراتهم، فإنه من تتبع عورة أخيه المسلم، تتبع الله عورته، ومن تتبع الله عورته يفضحه ولو في جوف بيته ." (صحيح الجامع). ولذلك، ومبالغةً منه صلى الله عليه وسلم في التحذير من ذلك الخلق السيئ وأمثاله، أطلق وصف " المفلس " على المتهاون في المساس بحرمات المسلمين، فقال صلى الله عليه وسلم: " أتدرون ما المفلس؟ إن المفلس من أمتي من يأتي يوم القيامة بصلاة وصيام وزكاة، ويأتي وقد شتم هذا، وقذف هذا، وأكل مال هذا، وسفك دم هذا، وضرب هذا، فيُعطى هذا من حسناته، وهذا من حسناته، فإن فنيت حسناته قبل أن يُقضى ما عليه، أُخذ من خطاياهم، فطرحت عليه، ثم طرح في النار ." (البخاري). ومن التحذيرات النبوية، عباد الله، ما حذَّر منه صلى الله عليه وسلم أمته من آفات اللسان التي يطلقها الغافلون عن الآثام التي يتسبب بها إطلاق العنان لألسنتهم دون لجمها عما يغضب الله تعالى، فقال صلى الله عليه وسلم: " إن العبد ليتكلم بالكلمة من رضوان الله، لا يلقي لها بالًا، يرفعه الله بها درجات، وإن العبد ليتكلم بالكلمة من سخط الله، لا يلقي لها بالًا، يهوي بها في جهنم ." (البخاري). ومن التحذيرات والإنذارات النبوية التحذير من الظلم والبغي وبخس الحقوق، لا سيما للأرحام، فقال صلى الله عليه وسلم: " ما من ذنب أجدر أن يعجل الله لصاحبه العقوبة في الدنيا، مع ما يدخر له في الآخرة، من البغي وقطيعة الرحم ." (صحيح ابن حبان). لذلك رغَّب صلى الله عليه وسلم أمته في التحلل من المظالم، والمسارعة لردها، والوفاء بالحقوق، فقال صلى الله عليه وسلم: " من كانت عنده مظلمة لأخيه فليتحلله منها؛ فإنه ليس ثم دينار ولا درهم، من قبل أن يؤخذ لأخيه من حسناته، فإن لم يكن له حسنات، أُخذ من سيئات أخيه فطرحت عليه ." (البخاري). نبَّهنا الله وإياكم من غفلة الغافلين، وهدانا لما في كتابه من الهدي القويم، أقول ما تسمعون، وأستغفر الله لي ولكم، فاستغفروه، إنه هو الغفور الرحيم. الخطبة الثانية معاشر المؤمنين: كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم حريصًا أشد الحرص على ما يرسخ المحبة والمودة بين المسلمين، ولذلك حذَّر من الآفات الاجتماعية في العلاقات والمعاملات، فقال صلى الله عليه وسلم: " لا تحاسدوا، ولا تناجشوا، ولا تباغضوا، ولا تدابروا، ولا يبع بعضكم على بيع بعض، وكونوا عباد الله إخوانًا. المسلم أخو المسلم، لا يظلمه، ولا يخذله، ولا يحقره. التقوى هاهنا ." ويشير إلى صدره ثلاث مرات. " بحسب امرئ من الشر أن يحقر أخاه المسلم. كل المسلم على المسلم حرام؛ دمه، وماله، وعرضه ." وتابعٌ لتلك الآفات، تحذير النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم من الظن وما يتبعه من شقاق ونزاع وفرقة، فقال صلى الله عليه وسلم: " إياكم والظن؛ فإن الظن أكذب الحديث، ولا تجسسوا، ولا تحسسوا، ولا تباغضوا، وكونوا إخوانًا، ولا يخطب الرجل على خطبة أخيه حتى ينكح أو يترك ." (البخاري). تلكم، عباد الله، تحذيرات وإنذارات النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، نستحضرها ونحن ندعو لبلادنا بالأمن والأمان، أن يقينا شرها، وأن يعافينا من آثامها.
