5.21 An Unforgettable Sermon


Ḥudhayfah ibn al-Yamān  and ‘Amr ibn Akhṭab  report that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم once delivered a sermon from dawn until sunset, in which he mentioned all the major events that would take place between then and the Day of Resurrection. Ḥudhayfah  says that he sometimes forgot parts of it, until he saw those events unfold before his very eyes.314
