Zād al-MaʿādIbn al-Qayyim

After completing the prayer, he delivered an eloquent sermon to them. Among the words preserved from it were:

“The sun and the moon are two of Allah’s signs. They are not eclipsed because of anyone’s death or birth. When you see this, supplicate to Allah, proclaim His greatness, pray, and give charity. O community of Muhammad, by Allah, no one has greater protective jealousy than Allah that His male or female servant should commit fornication or adultery. O community of Muhammad, by Allah, if you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much” (1).

He also said (2): “Standing here, I have seen everything you have been promised (3). Indeed, when you saw me move forward, I was about to take a cluster of grapes from Paradise. And when you saw me step back, I saw Hell, its parts crushing one another” (4).

In another wording: “I saw the Fire, and never have I seen a sight more terrifying than what I saw today (5). I saw that most of its inhabitants were women.” They asked: “Why, Messenger of Allah?” He replied: “Because of their ingratitude.” He was asked: “Do they disbelieve in Allah?” He replied: “They are ungrateful to their husbands and ungrateful for kindness. If you treated one of them kindly all your life, then she saw something in you that displeased her, she would say: ‘I have never seen any good from you’” (6).

Among his words were also: “It has been revealed to me that you will be tested in your graves with a trial like—or nearly like—the trial of the Antichrist. One of you will be approached and asked: ‘What do you know about this man?’ As for the believer—or

(3) After this, Qāf, Mīm, Mīm-Bā, and Nūn add “bihi (it).” The text in al-Sahīh (the Authentic Collection), as in the other manuscripts, does not contain this addition. (4) Muslim (901/3). (5) Kāf and ‘Ayn add “minhu (than it)” after this. (6) Transmitted by al-Bukhārī (1052)—whose wording is closer to the wording quoted here—and Muslim (907/17).
ثم انصرف، فخطب بهم خطبةً بليغةً، حُفِظ منها قوله: «إنَّ الشمس والقمر آيتان من آيات الله، لا يخسِفان لموت أحدٍ ولا لحياته. فإذا رأيتم ذلك فادعوا الله، وكبِّروا، وصلُّوا، وتصدَّقوا. يا أمة محمد، والله ما أحدٌ أغيَرَ من الله أن يزني عبدُه أو تزني أمتُه. يا أمةَ محمَّد، والله لو تعلمون ما أعلم لَضحكتم قليلًا ولبكيتم كثيرًا» (١). وقال (٢): «لقد رأيتُ في مقامي هذا كلَّ شيء وُعدِتم (٣)، حتى لقد رأيتُني أريد أن آخذَ قطفًا من الجنَّة حين رأيتموني أتقدَّم. ولقد رأيت جهنَّم يَحْطِمُ بعضُها بعضًا حين رأيتموني تأخَّرتُ» (٤). وفي لفظ: «رأيتُ النار، فلم أرَ كاليوم منظرًا قطُّ أفظعَ (٥)، ورأيت أكثر أهلها النساء». قالوا: بمَ يا رسول الله؟ قال: «بكفرهن». قيل: أيكفُرن بالله؟ قال: «يكفُرن العشيرَ، ويكفُرن الإحسان، لو أحسنتَ إلى إحداهنَّ الدهرَ كلَّه ثم رأت منك شيئًا. قالت: ما رأيتُ منك خيرًا قطُّ» (٦). ومنها: «ولقد أُوحيَّ إليَّ أنكم تُفتنون في القبور مثلَ ــ أو قريبًا من ــ فتنة الدَّجَّال. يؤتى أحدكم، فيقال له: ما علمُك بهذا الرَّجل؟ فأما المؤمن ــ أو
