Summary
The first sermon Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz gave on taking the caliphate, as the book transmits it from Ibn al-Jawzi and Ibn Abd al-Hakam. 1
He praises God and asks the people to bring him the needs of those who cannot raise them, to help him in a matter, to guide him where he does not know, not to backbite about subjects in his presence, and not to interfere in what does not concern them. 1
The book reports that the readers and preachers left him after this sermon, and that the jurists and notables said they had never heard anything like it. 1
