SERMON 239
Exhorting his men to jihad and asking
them to refrain from seeking ease
Allah seeks you to thank Him and assigns to you His
affairs. He has allowed time in the limited field (of life) so that you may vie with each
other in seeking the reward (of Paradise). Therefore, tight up your girdles and wrap up
the skirts. High courage and dinners do not go together. Sleep causes weakness in the big
affairs of the day and (its) darkness obliterates the memories of courage.
