In The Name Of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu
Follow my sunnah and that
of the rightly-guided caliphs.
Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith 4590 Narrated byIrbad ibn Sariyah
AbdurRahman ibn Amr as-Sulami and Hujr ibn Hujr said: We came to Irbad
ibn Sariyah who was among those about whom the following verse was
revealed:"Nor (is there blame) on those who come to thee to be provided with
mounts, and when thou saidst: "I can find no mounts for you." We greeted
him and
said: We have come to see you to give healing and obtain benefit from
you. Al-Irbad said: One day the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) led
us in
prayer, then faced us and gave us a lengthy exhortation at which the
eyes shed tears and the hearts were afraid. A man said: Apostle of
Allah! It
seems as if it were a farewell exhortation, so what injunction do you
give us? He then said: I enjoin you to fear Allah, and to hear and obey
even if
it be an Abyssinian slave, for those of you who live after me will see
great disagreement. You must then follow my sunnah and that of the
rightly-guided
caliphs. Hold to it and stick fast to it. Avoid novelties, for every
novelty is an innovation, and every innovation is an error.
*Every evil innovations is an error.
Allah Knows Best
