Imaam al-Shaafi’i Rahimahullaah said: ‘There is nobody except that he has someone who loves him and someone who hates him. So if that’s the case, let a person be with the people who are obedient to Allaah `Azza Wa Jall.’

Subject: “For You is an Appointed Time” Wed Aug 20, 2008 2:34 am
خطب عمر بن عبد العزيز آخر خطبة خطبها فقال فيها
‘Umar ibn ‘Abd al-`Aziz (rahimahullaah) said in his last khutbah:
[يا أيها الناس]
"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
وسيرثها بعدكم الباقون
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
قد قضى نحبه و أنقضى أجله
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.
