خطب عمر بن عبد العزيز
آخر خطبة خطبها فقال فيها
‘Umar ibn ‘Abd al-`Aziz (rahimahullaah) said in his last khutbah:
O people,
إنكم لم تخلقوا عبثاً
ولم تتركوا سدىً
Indeed you have not been created for mere play
Nor will you be left in vain
وإن لكم معاداً
ينزل الله فيه للفصل بين عباده
And for you is an appointed time
Wherein Allaah will descend to judge between his servants
فقد خاب وخسر من خرج من رحمة الله
التي وسعت كل شيء
Truly the failure is he who has left the Mercy of Allaah
which has encompassed all things
و حرم جنة عرضها السماوات والأرض
And who has been forbidden from Paradise,
its width as wide as the heavens and the earth
ألا ترون أنكم في أسلاب هالكين
Don’t you see that you are indeed in a destroyed plunder
And those after you shall inherit it
كذلك حتى ترد إلى خير الوارثين
Like that it will be, until it is returned to the Best of Inheritors (Allaah)
و في كل يوم تشيعون غادياً ورائحاً إلى الله
And everyday you are going back and forth escorting (someone) to Allaah
His term has been settled
And his life is over
أتودعونه و تدعونه في صدع من الأرض
غير موسّد ولا ممهّد
Will you then bid him farewell and call him from the rough and unleveled cracks of the earth?
قد خلع الأسباب
و فارق الأحباب
و سكن التراب
و واجه الحساب
He has left all provisions
And left his beloved ones
He has settled to live among dust
And is due to face the reckoning
غني عما خلف
فقير إلى ما أسلف
He is free from what he has left behind
And in dire need of what he has put forth
فاتقوا الله عباد الله
قبل نزول الموت و انقضاء مواقيته
So fear Allaah O servants of Allaah
Before the descent of death and the coming of his time
و إني لأقول لكم هذه المقالة
وما أعلم عند أحد من الذنوب مما أعلم عندي
Indeed, I say this to you
But none knows as much as I do of the sins (I have) earned
ولكني
استغفر الله و أتوب إليه
But I seek the forgiveness of Allaah and repent to Him
ثم رفع طرف ردائه و بكى حتى شهق
ثم نزل فما عاد إلى المنبر حتى مات
رحمة الله عليه
He then lifted the ends of his cloak and weeped…
Then he got down and did not return to the minbar until he passed away
May the Mercy of Allaah be upon him.
Ameen
