حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سِمَاكٌ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ كَانَتْ صَلاَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ قَصْدًا وَخُطْبَتُهُ قَصْدًا يَقْرَأُ آيَاتٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ وَيُذَكِّرُ النَّاسَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the prayer and sermon offered by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. He used to offer his prayers in moderation, meaning that he neither prolonged it nor made it too short. Similarly, his sermons were also moderate; he would recite a few verses from the Quran and then exhort people to do good deeds or refrain from bad ones. This hadith teaches us that we should be moderate in our actions as well as our words; neither should we be too lenient nor too strict when dealing with others or ourselves. We should strive for balance in all aspects of life so that we can achieve success both here on earth and hereafter in paradise.
