It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught us the Khutbah of need, and that Khutbah was as follows: All praise is due to Allah, we seek His help, we ask His forgiveness, and we seek refuge in Allah from the evils of our own souls. Whomever Allah guides, none can misguide, and whomever He lets go astray, none can guide. I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is His servant and His Messenger. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would recite these three verses: {یَا أَیُّہَا الَّذِیْنَ آمَنُوْ اتَّقُوْا اللّٰہَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِہِ وَلَا تَمُوْتُنَّ اِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُوْنَ۔ یَا أَیُّہَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوْا رَبَّکُمُ الَّذِیْ خَلَقَکُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَۃٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْہَا زَوْجَہَا وَبَثَّ مِنْہُمَا رِجَالًا کَثِیْرًا وَنِسَائً، وَاتَّقُوْا اللّٰہَ الَّذِیْ تَسَائَ لُوْنَ بِہِ وَالْأَرْحَامَ اِنَّ اللّٰہَ کَانَ عَلَیْکُمْ رَقِیْبًا۔ یَا أَیُّہَا الَّذِیْنَ آمَنُوْا اتَّقُوْا اللّٰہَ وَقُوْلُوْا قُوْلًا سَدِیْدًایُصْلِحْ لَکُمْ أَعْمَالَکُمْ وَیَغْفِرْلَکُمْ ذُنُوْبَکُمْ وَمَنْ یُّطِعِ اللّٰہَ وَرَسُوْلَہُ فَقَدْ فَازَ فَوْزًا عَظِیْمًا} O you who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and do not die except as Muslims. (Surah Aal-e-Imran: 102) O mankind! Fear your Lord, who created you from a single soul and created from it its mate and spread from both many men and women. And fear Allah, through whom you ask one another, and the ties of kinship. Indeed, Allah is ever, over you, an Observer. (Surah An-Nisa: 1) O you who believe! Fear Allah and speak words of appropriate justice. He will amend for you your deeds and forgive you your sins. And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly attained a great success. (Surah Al-Ahzab: 70) Then mention your need and requirement.

(Second chain) Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught us two types of sermons, one is the sermon of need and the other is the sermon of prayer. The sermon of need is as follows: Indeed, all praise is for Allah, we seek help from Him, ... ... . Then a narration with the same meaning as the above-mentioned hadith was mentioned.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke to a man about something and said: All praise is due to Allah, we praise Him and seek His help. Whomsoever Allah guides, none can misguide him, and whomsoever He misguides, none can guide him. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, He is alone, He has no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and His messenger. Then he presented his matter.
