Summary
Al-Saffah's second Friday sermon in Kufa early in his caliphate. He promises to keep his word and to rule justly, warns those who oppose him, and asks the people for obedience.
The book gives the text on the authority of al-Sharif al-Murtada and Ibn Abi al-Hadid. Al-Saffah opens with the verse on keeping covenants, then promises to fulfil his word and to use firmness until the people see right done. 1
In it he sets out what he asks of the people: prayer at its time, no departure from obedience, and a warning against discord. 1
