Alhamduli'Allahi Rabbil-'Aalameen wa-Salaatu wa-Salaamu 'alaa Ashrafil-Anbiyaa-e-wal-Mursaleen, `Amma Ba'd. Assalaamu `Alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuhu. Khâlid b. 'Umayr Al-'Adawî reports, 'Utbah b. Ghazwân – [Allâh be pleased with him ]– once gave us a sermon. He praised Allâh, then said:-
The life of this world has announced its departure and is quickly
turning away... and nothing remains of it save the likes of the last drop of water in a vessel as its possessor tries to catch it ! You are moving on to an abode that has no end {!} so move on with the best deeds... that you have. For it has been said to us that a rock can be dropped from the edge of Hell and fall for seventy years {70} without reaching the bottom{!} Yet, by Allâh, it will be filled....{!} Do you not then wonder? And it has been said to us that a single entrance to Paradise is as wide as a journey of forty years, yet there will come a day when it will be crowded. I have seen myself as the seventh of seven [followers of] Allâh's Messenger – [Allâh's peace and blessings be upon him] we had no food save the leaves of trees which put sores round our mouths... I once got a cloak which I tore in half to share with Sa'd b. Mâlik: [Allâh be pleased with him ]– I used half as my waist-wrap and he used the other. And yet today, there is not one of us except he has become a governor over some city – and I seek refuge with Allâh that I consider myself great and important when I am small in front of Allâh. Verily there was never prophet-hood except that it gradually changed until it ended up being a kingship, and verily you will see what the governors after us are like. { Source:-Sahîh Muslim # 7624.}
