Hadith #2852
Arabic Text
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ثَوْرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ ، حَدَّثَنِي خَالِدُ بْنُ مَعْدَانَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ عِرْبَاضِ بْنِ سَارِيَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ : صَلَّى لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ، ثُمَّ وَعَظَنَا مَوْعِظَةً بَلِيغَةً ذَرَفَتْ مِنْهَا الْعُيُونُ، وَوَجِلَتْ مِنْهَا الْقُلُوبُ، فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، كَأَنَّهَا مَوْعِظَةُ مُوَدِّعٍ؟ فَأَوْصِنَا، فَقَالَ :" أُوصِيكُمْ بِتَقْوَى
اللَّهِ وَالسَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ وَإِنْ كَانَ عَبْدًا حَبَشِيًّا، فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَعِشْ مِنْكُمْ بَعْدِي فَسَيَرَى اخْتِلَافًا كَثِيرًا، فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِسُنَّتِي وَسَنَّةِ الْخُلَفَاءِ الرَّاشِدِينَ الْمَهْدِيِّينَ، عَضُّوا عَلَيْهَا بِالنَّوَاجِذِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْمُحْدَثَاتِ، فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مُحْدَثَةٍ بِدْعَةٌ "، وقَالَ أَبُو عَاصِمٍ مَرَّةً : " وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَمُحْدَثَاتِ الْأُمُورِ، فَإِنَّ كُلَّ بِدْعَةٍ ضَلَالَةٌ "

English Translation
It was narrated from Irbad ibn Sariyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the Fajr prayer, then gave us a sermon that caused our eyes to weep and our hearts to tremble. A man said: O Messenger of Allah, this is as if it were a farewell sermon — so what do you advise us? He said: I advise you to fear Allah and to hear and obey, even if an Abyssinian slave is placed over you. Indeed whoever of you lives will see many differences — so hold fast to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly-guided caliphs who come after me. Cling to it and hold on to it with your molars. And beware of newly invented matters, for every newly invented matter is an innovation, and every innovation is misguidance.'
