Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon continuously from after the Asr prayer until sunset. Whoever remembered it, remembered it, and whoever forgot it, forgot it. In this sermon, after praising and glorifying Allah, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "To proceed! The world is green, lush, and sweet. Allah will grant you succession in it to see what deeds you perform. Beware! Fear the world and fear women. And beware! The children of Adam are created in different ranks: some are born as believers, live as believers, and die as believers; some are born as disbelievers, live as disbelievers, and die as disbelievers; some are born as believers, live as believers, and die as disbelievers; and some are born as disbelievers, live as disbelievers, and die as believers. Beware! Anger is a spark that smolders in the belly of the son of Adam. You can see the redness of his eyes and the swelling of his veins when he is angry. When any of you becomes angry, he should lie down on the ground. Beware! The best man is the one who gets angry slowly and is quickly pleased, and the worst man is the one who gets angry quickly and is slow to be pleased. And when a man is slow to anger and slow to be pleased, or quick to be pleased, then this is equal for him. Beware! The best trader is the one who pays debts in a good manner and demands in a good manner, and the worst trader is the one who pays in a bad manner and demands in a bad manner. And if a man pays in a good manner and demands in a bad manner, or pays in a bad manner and demands in a good manner, then this is equal for him. On the Day of Resurrection, every deceiver will have a flag according to the extent of his deception. Beware! The greatest deception will be that of the person who is the general ruler of the whole country. Beware! If a person is prevented from speaking the word of truth due to the awe and dominance of people, even though he knows it well, beware! The most virtuous jihad is to speak the word of truth before a tyrant ruler. Then, when the time of sunset approached, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Beware! The proportion of the remaining life of the world to the life that has already passed is like the proportion of what remains of this day to what has already passed of it."
