Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn Hammām al-Sabzawārī related to us. He said: Muḥammad ibn Yazīd related to us. He said: ʿĀmir ibn al-Furāt al-Nasawī related to us. He said: Abū Ḥanīfa related to us, from al-Qāsim ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, from his father, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masʿūd, may God be pleased with him, who said: The Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, taught us the marriage sermon: “Praise belongs to God. I praise Him, seek His help, believe in Him and rely upon Him. We seek refuge in God from the evil within ourselves and from our bad deeds. Whomever God guides, none can lead astray; whomever He leads astray, none can guide. I testify that there is no god but God alone, without partner, and that Muḥammad is His servant and messenger. ‘You who believe! Be mindful of God, in whose name you ask one another, and of ties of kinship. God is ever watchful over you’ [al-Nisāʾ: 1]. ‘You who believe! Be mindful of God as He deserves, and do not die except as Muslims’ [Āl ʿImrān: 102]. ‘You who believe! Be mindful of God and speak upright words. He will set your deeds right for you and forgive your sins. Whoever obeys God and His Messenger has attained a tremendous triumph’ [al-Aḥzāb: 70].”
