14. With the preceding chains of narration, from ‘Ali ibn Mahzyar from Muhammad ibn Ismail, from Mansur ibn Abu Yahya, who said
I heard Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, say: Once the Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny, climbed on the pulpit, and the colour of his cheek changed; then he approached the people saying: "O Muslims, I have been sent to you with the Day of Judgement as close in time, as these two"; then he put together two index fingers. Then he said: "O Muslim, the best guidance is that of Muhammad and the best narration is the Book of Allah. And innovations (in religion) are the worst things. Be it known to you that every innovation leads astray, and that finally leads to hellfire. ’O People! Whoever leaves behind wealth, he leaves it for the family and his heirs; and whoever leaves behind weaklings and poor dependents, they are for me and they are my responsibility."
14 - وبالإسناد الأول عن علي بن مهزيار [عن محمد بن إسماعيل]، عن منصور بن أبي يحيى قال
سمعت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام يقول: صعد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم المنبر فتغيرت وجنتاه والتمع لونه ، ثم أقبل [على الناس] بوجهه فقال: يا معشر المسلمين إني إنما بعثت أنا والساعة كهاتين، قال: ثم ضم السباحتين ، ثم قال: يا معشر المسلمين إن أفضل الهدى هدى محمد، وخير الحديث كتاب الله، وشر الأمور محدثاتها . ألا وكل بدعة ضلالة، ألا وكل ضلالة ففي النار، أيها الناس من ترك مالا فلأهله ولورثته، ومن ترك كلا أو ضياعا فعلي وإلي .
