وَ يَسْأَلُ لِنَفْسِهِ وَ أَصْحَابِهِ ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُونَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ فَيَسْأَلُونَ اللَّهَ حَوَائِجَهُمْ كُلَّهَا حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اسْتَجِبْ لَنَا وَ يَكُونُ آخِرَ كَلَامِهِ أَنْ يَقُولَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَ الْإِحْسَانِ وَ إِيتَاءِ ذِي الْقُرْبَى وَ يَنْهَى عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ الْبَغْيِ يَعِظُكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنَا مِمَّنْ تَذَكَّرَ فَتَنْفَعُهُ الذِّكْرَى ثُمَّ يَنْزِلُ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Yahya Al Halby, from Bureyd Bin Muawiya, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>: ‘Regarding a sermon on the day of Friday, the first sermon – The Praise is for Allah<sup>azwj</sup>. We Praise Him<sup>azwj</sup>, and seek His<sup>azwj</sup> Assistance, and we seek His<sup>azwj</sup> Forgiveness, and seek His<sup>azwj</sup> Guidance, and we seek Refuge with Allah<sup>azwj</sup> from the evils of ourselves and from the sinfulness of our deeds. The one whom Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Guides, so there is no one to misguide him, and the one whom Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Lets to stray, so there is no guide for him. And I testify that there is no god except for Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Alone, there being no associates for Him<sup>azwj</sup>; and I testify that Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> is His<sup>azwj</sup> servant and His<sup>azwj</sup> Rasool<sup>saww</sup>, having Chosen him<sup>saww</sup> for His<sup>azwj</sup> Wilayah, and Specialised him<sup>saww</sup> with His<sup>azwj</sup> Message, and Honoured him<sup>saww</sup> with the Prophet-hood, being a trustee upon His<sup>azwj</sup> Hidden matters, and a mercy for the worlds. And Blessings be upon Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> and his<sup>saww</sup> Progeny<sup>asws</sup>, and greetings be upon them<sup>asws</sup>. I hereby advise you, servants of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, and caution you from His<sup>azwj</sup> Retribution, for if Allah<sup>azwj</sup> was to Emancipate someone with their<sup>asws</sup> places of salvation, neither would the evil touch them nor would they be grieving, and He<sup>azwj</sup> would Honour the ones who fear Him<sup>azwj</sup> by Saving them from the evil of what they are fearing and Cast upon them the freshness and cheerfulness. And I hereby encourage you regarding the eternal Benevolence of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and I warn you of His<sup>azwj</sup> Retribution there being no interruption for it, nor a salvation for the one whom it is Obligated upon. So neither let the world deceive you nor incline towards it, for it is a house of deception. Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Ordained destruction up it and upon its inhabitants. Thus, you should take such provisions from it which would make you be Honoured by Allah<sup>azwj</sup> with, from the piety and the righteous deeds, for nothing arrives to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> from the deeds of the servant except for what is sincere from it, nor does Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Accept except from the pious. And Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Informed you about the status of the one who believe and does righteous deeds, and about the status of the one who denies and works in other than His<sup>azwj</sup> Way <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:11#h103"><a href="/books/quran:11#h103">[11:103]</a></a> this is a day on which the people shall be gathered together and this is a day that shall be witnessed <a href="/#/books/quran:11#h104"><a href="/books/quran:11#h104">[11:104]</a></a> And We do not Delay it but to an appointed term <a href="/#/books/quran:11#h105"><a href="/books/quran:11#h105">[11:105]</a></a> On the Day when it shall come, no soul shall speak except by His Permission, then (some) of them shall be miserable and (others) happy <a href="/#/books/quran:11#h106"><a href="/books/quran:11#h106">[11:106]</a></a> So as to those who are miserable, they shall be in the Fire; for them shall be sighing and groaning in it <a href="/#/books/quran:11#h107"><a href="/books/quran:11#h107">[11:107]</a></a> Abiding therein so long as the skies and the earth endure, except what your Lord so Desires; surely your Lord Does whatsoever He Wants to <a href="/#/books/quran:11#h108"><a href="/books/quran:11#h108">[11:108]</a></a> And as to those who are made happy, they shall be in the garden, abiding in it for as long as the skies and the earth endure, except what your Lord so desires; a gift which shall never be cut off</span>. We hereby ask Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Who Gathered us for this gathering that He<sup>azwj</sup> Blesses us in this day of ours, and that He<sup>azwj</sup> should be Merciful upon us all, He<sup>azwj</sup> being Able upon everything. The Book of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> is the most Truthful of the Hadeeth, and the best of the stories. And Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Said <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:7#h204"><a href="/books/quran:7#h204">[7:204]</a></a> And when the Quran is recited, then listen to it and remain silent, perhaps Mercy may be Shown to you</span>. Thus listening is obedience to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and remaining silent is seeking His<sup>azwj</sup> Mercy. Then recite a Chapter from the Quran and supplicate to your Lord<sup>azwj</sup> and send Blessings upon the Prophet<sup>saww</sup>, and supplicate for the believing men and the believing women. Then be seated for a while. Then you should be standing and saying, ‘The Praise is for Allah<sup>azwj</sup>. We Praise Him<sup>azwj</sup> and seek His<sup>azwj</sup> Assistance, and we seek His<sup>azwj</sup> Forgiveness, and we seek His<sup>azwj</sup> Guidance, and we believe in Him<sup>azwj</sup>, and we Rely upon Him<sup>azwj</sup>, and we seek Refuge with Allah<sup>azwj</sup> from our own evils, and from the evilness of our deeds. The one whom Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Guides so there is no straying for him, and the one whom He<sup>azwj</sup> Lets to stray so there is no guide for him. And I testify that there is no god except for Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, Alone, there being no associate for Him. And I testify that Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> is His<sup>azwj</sup> servant and His<sup>azwj</sup> Rasool<sup>saww</sup><span class="ibTxt"> <a href="/#/books/quran:9#h33"><a href="/books/quran:9#h33">[9:33]</a></a> He it is Who sent His Rasool with the Guidance and the Religion of the Truth, in order to prevail it over all Religions, even though the Polytheists may be averse to it</span>, and Made him<sup>saww</sup> as a mercy for the worlds, a heralder of glad tidings and a warner, and an inviter to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> by His<sup>azwj</sup> Permission, and as a radiant lantern. The one who obeys Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and His<sup>azwj</sup> Rasool<sup>saww</sup> so he has been Guided, and the one who disobeys them both, so he has strayed. I hereby advise you, servants of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, with the fear of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>. They will benefit, the ones who obey Him<sup>azwj</sup>, and they will be harmed, the ones who disobey Him<sup>azwj</sup>. To Him<sup>azwj</sup> is your return and upon Him<sup>azwj</sup> is your Reckoning, for the piety is an Advice of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> among you and among those who were before you. Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Says <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:4#h131"><a href="/books/quran:4#h131">[4:131]</a></a> and certainly We Enjoined those who were Given the Book before you and (We Enjoin) you too that you should be fear Allah; and if you disbelieve, then surely whatever is in the skies and whatever is in the earth is Allah's and Allah is Self-sufficient, Praise-worthy</span> Benefit yourselves with the Advice of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and necessitate His<sup>azwj</sup> Book, for it is the most eloquent of the Advice, and the best of the Instruction regarding the consequential return. And Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Taken the argument, so the one being destroyed would not be destroyed except from proof, nor would a living one live except from proof, and Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> had preached that which he<sup>saww</sup> had been Sent with. Therefore, necessitate his<sup>saww</sup> Advice, and whoever from among you all after him<sup>saww</sup>, neglects the two weighty things – the Book of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and the People<sup>asws</sup> of his<sup>saww</sup> Household, these two, none would stray if he were to attach himself to these two, nor will he be guided the one who neglects these two. O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Send Blessings upon Muhammad<sup>saww</sup>, Your<sup>azwj</sup> servant and Your<sup>azwj</sup> Rasool<sup>saww</sup>, the chief of the Rasools<sup>sa</sup>, and the Imam<sup>asws</sup> of the pious, and a Rasool<sup>saww</sup> of the Lord<sup>azwj</sup> of the worlds’. Then you should be saying, O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Send Blessings upon Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup>, and a successor<sup>asws</sup> of Rasool<sup>saww</sup> of the Lord<sup>azwj</sup> of the worlds’. Then you should name the Imams<sup>asws</sup> until you end up to your Master<sup>asws</sup>. Then you should be saying, ‘Grant victory to him<sup>asws</sup> an easy victory and Help him<sup>asws</sup> with a mighty Help. O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Overcome (the other religions) by him<sup>asws</sup> Your<sup>azwj</sup> Religion, and the Sunnah of Your<sup>azwj</sup> Prophet<sup>saww</sup> until there does not remain anything concealed from the truth out of fear of anyone from the people. O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! We wish to You<sup>azwj</sup> regarding the benevolent government to strengthen by it Al-Islam and its people, and to humiliate by it the hypocrisy and its people, and Make us in it to be from the ones who invite to Your<sup>azwj</sup> obedience, and leaders in Your<sup>azwj</sup> Way, and Grace us by it the prestige of the world and the Hereafter. O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Whatever You<sup>azwj</sup> Have Loaded us with from the truth, so Make us to understand it, and whatever we are deficient from it, so Teach us it’. Then he (the prayer leader) should supplicate to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> against His<sup>azwj</sup> enemies, and he should ask for himself and his companions. Then they (the people) should be raising their hands, so they should be asking Allah<sup>azwj</sup> for their needs, all of them, until when they are free from that, he should say, ‘O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Answer us!’, and it should happen to be the last of his speech that he should be saying <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:16#h90"><a href="/books/quran:16#h90">[16:90]</a></a> Surely Allah Enjoins the doing of justice and the doing of good (to others) and the giving to the near of kin, and He Forbids the immorality and the evil and the rebellion; He Admonishes you that you may be mindful</span>’. Then he should be saying, ‘O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Make us to be from the ones who are mindful so the Reminder benefitted him’. Then you should descend (end the sermon)’.
