1482 - وَ خَطَبَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَوْمَ اَلْفِطْرِ فَقَالَ: « «اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ اَلَّذِي خَلَقَ اَلسَّمٰاوٰاتِ وَ اَلْأَرْضَ وَ جَعَلَ اَلظُّلُمٰاتِ وَ اَلنُّورَ ثُمَّ اَلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِرَبِّهِمْ يَعْدِلُونَ» لاَ نُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئاً وَ لاَ نَتَّخِذُ مِنْ دُونِهِ وَلِيّاً وَ «اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ اَلَّذِي لَهُ مٰا فِي اَلسَّمٰاوٰاتِ وَ مٰا فِي اَلْأَرْضِ وَ لَهُ اَلْحَمْدُ فِي» اَلدُّنْيَا وَ «اَلْآخِرَةِ وَ هُوَ اَلْحَكِيمُ اَلْخَبِيرُ `يَعْلَمُ مٰا يَلِجُ فِي اَلْأَرْضِ وَ مٰا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهٰا وَ مٰا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ اَلسَّمٰاءِ وَ مٰا يَعْرُجُ فِيهٰا وَ هُوَ اَلرَّحِيمُ اَلْغَفُورُ» كَذَلِكَ اَللَّهُ «لاٰ إِلٰهَ إِلاّٰ هُوَ إِلَيْهِ اَلْمَصِيرُ» وَ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ اَلَّذِي «يُمْسِكُ اَلسَّمٰاءَ أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَى اَلْأَرْضِ إِلاّٰ بِإِذْنِهِ إِنَّ اَللّٰهَ بِالنّٰاسِ لَرَؤُفٌ رَحِيمٌ» اَللَّهُمَّ اِرْحَمْنَا بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ اُعْمُمْنَا بِمَغْفِرَتِكَ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ اَلْعَلِيُّ اَلْكَبِيرُ وَ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ اَلَّذِي لاَ مَقْنُوطٌ مِنْ رَحْمَتِهِ وَ لاَ مَخْلُوٌّ مِنْ نِعْمَتِهِ وَ لاَ مُؤْيَسٌ مِنْ رَوْحِهِ وَ لاَ مُسْتَنْكِفٌ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهِ اَلَّذِي بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَامَتِ اَلسَّمَاوَاتُ اَلسَّبْعُ وَ اِسْتَقَرَّتِ اَلْأَرْضُ

نَسْتَغْفِرُهُ وَ نَسْتَهْدِيهِ وَ نَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تُخْفِي اَلنُّفُوسُ وَ مَا تُجِنُّ اَلْبِحَارُ وَ مَا تَوَارَى مِنْهُ ظُلْمَةٌ وَ لاَ

وَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يَعْمَلُ اَلْعَامِلُونَ وَ أَيَّ مَجْرًى يَجْرُونَ وَ إِلَى أَيِّ مُنْقَلَبٍ يَنْقَلِبُونَ وَ نَسْتَهْدِي اَللَّهَ بِالْهُدَى وَ نَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ نَبِيُّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ إِلَى خَلْقِهِ وَ أَمِينُهُ عَلَى وَحْيِهِ وَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ بَلَّغَ رِسَالاَتِ رَبِّهِ وَ جَاهَدَ فِي اَللَّهِ اَلْحَائِدِينَ عَنْهُ اَلْعَادِلِينَ بِهِ وَ عَبَدَ اَللَّهَ حَتَّى أَتَاهُ

Hadith.1482 - The Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib delivered a sermon on the day of Eid al-Fitr and said: "Praise be to Allah , Who created the heavens and the earth and made the darkness and the light, and then those who disbelieve in their Lord associate others with Him." "We do not associate anything with Allah , and we do not take any guardian besides Him." "Praise be to Allah , to Whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth, and to Him belongs all praise in this world and in the Hereafter. And He is the Wise, the All-Aware." "He knows what enters into the earth and what comes out of it, and what descends from the heavens and what ascends into it. And He is the Most Merciful, the Most Forgiving." "Thus, Allah , there is no god but He, to Him is the return." "Praise be to Allah , Who holds the sky from falling upon the earth except by His permission. Indeed, Allah is compassionate and merciful to mankind." "O’ Allah , have mercy upon us with Your mercy and encompass us with Your forgiveness. You are the Most High, the Most Great." "Praise be to Allah , from Whose mercy there is no despair, from Whose blessings there is no deficiency, and from Whose relief there is no loss, and Whose worship is never denied." "With His word, the seven heavens were established, the earth spread out as a bed, the mountains fixed, the winds blowing, the clouds moving in the sky, and the seas with their boundaries. And He is the God Who governs it all, and to Him all must submit." "The proud and the arrogant humble themselves before Him, and all creation, willingly or unwillingly, submits to His dominion." "We praise Him as He deserves to be praised, and we seek His help, His forgiveness, His guidance. We bear witness that there is no god but Allah , He alone, with no partner, and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger." "He is the trustworthy one with His revelation, and He conveyed the messages of His Lord , fought in the cause of Allah , worshiped Him until certainty (death) came to him. Peace and blessings be upon him and his family." "I advise you, O’ servants of Allah , to be conscious of Allah , from Whose blessings no one is ever deprived, and no one can escape His mercy, and no one can exceed His generosity. He is the One who commands piety and discourages attachment to this world, warns against sin, and reminds us of death and its inevitability." "Death is the ultimate end of all created beings, and the path for all beings. The end is decreed for all, and there is no escape from it. At the time of its arrival, it destroys every pleasure, takes away every blessing, and removes every delight." "The world is a place destined for demise, and its inhabitants will eventually depart from it. The life of this world is sweet and green, and many people long for it. But the rich man neglects the poor, and the fearful man tries to flee from it. Be cautious of it, and remember that death is coming." "Do not ask for more than what suffices you from this world. Accept only a small portion from it, and avoid excessive indulgence, as it leads to heedlessness and false expectations." "The world has already turned its back on us, and the Hereafter is approaching, with its lights shining and its arrival drawing near." "Today is the race for good deeds, and tomorrow is the race for salvation. The final destination is either Heaven or Hell. Repent before it is too late, and work for your soul before the day of misfortune and poverty." "May Allah make us among those who fear Him and seek His reward." "This day is a day that Allah has made a celebration for you, so remember Allah and He will remember you. Call upon Him and He will respond to you. Pay your Zakat al-Fitr, for it is the Sunnah of your Prophet and an obligatory duty from your Lord . Let every person from you give it for himself and his family, whether male or female, young or old, free or enslaved. It should be one sa' of wheat, dates, or barley for each person." "Obey Allah in what He has commanded you, and follow the five Da‘ā’im al-Islām: establishing prayer, giving zakat, performing the pilgrimage to the house of Allah , fasting the month of Ramadan, and promoting good while forbidding evil. Be kind to your wives and those under your care. And avoid what Allah has prohibited, such as slander, immoral actions, consuming alcohol, falsifying the measure and the scale, bearing false witness, and fleeing from the battlefield." "May Allah protect us all with piety, and may He make the Hereafter better for us than this worldly life." "Indeed, the best speech and the most eloquent advice is the Book of Allah , the Mighty, the Wise." "I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed devil. In the name of Allah , the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Say: 'Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad' (Surah Al-Ikhlas) 'He is Allah , the One. Allah , the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.'"
