Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions:
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) transmitted in his book *Riyad al-Salihin*:
"From 'Amr ibn Ahtab al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:Sahih Muslim 2892 Muslim narrated it.
And from 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 2126Sahih (Darussalam) al-Bukhari narrated it.
And from Umm Sharik (may Allah be pleased with her):Riyad as-Salihin 1863 Agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim".
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful:
These hadiths are among the hadiths that the author mentioned at the end of his book *Riyad al-Salihin*, from the scattered hadiths that do not pertain to one chapter over another:
Among them is this hadith indicating that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a long sermon to the people, and that Allah the Exalted granted him a strength that He did not grant to anyone else,: meaning a full day from the Fajr prayer to the setting of the sun, while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering the sermon. It is not mentioned that he went out to the house to have lunch or the like, so either he was fasting or he was occupied with what is more important.
Likewise, it is not mentioned that he prayed the regular voluntary prayer (rawatib) after Dhuhr, so here he was occupied with what is more important than the rawatib, which is admonishing the people and teaching the people, because teaching the people is more important than the rawatib. So if the matter is between the rawatib and teaching, then teaching is better.
He said:: meaning from what Allah revealed to him, and no one knows the unseen except what Allah reveals to him only.
So Allah, Mighty and Majestic, informed him on that day of some of the knowledge of the past unseen and of the future unseen, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) informed [the people] of it.
So in this is evidence of the strength of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), his vitality, and his eagerness to convey the message, until he stood for a full day.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions:

"From 'Amr ibn Ahtab al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) led us in the dawn prayer and then mounted the pulpit and addressed us until it was (time for the) noon prayer. He then came down the pulpit and observed prayer and then again mounted the pulpit and again addressed us until it was time for the 'Asr prayer. He then again came down and observed the prayer and again mounted the pulpit and addressed us until the sun was set and he informed (about) everything (pertaining to turmoil) that lay hidden in the past and what lies in (the womb) of) the future and the most learned amongst us is one who remembers them well
صلى بنا رسولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الفجر، وصعِد المنبر، فخطبنا حتى حضرت الظهر، فنزل فصلى، ثم صعِد المنبر فخطب حتى حضرت العصر، ثم نزل فصلى، ثم صَعِد المنبر حتى غربت الشمس، فأخبرنا بما كان وما هو كائن، فأعلمُنا أحفظناAnd from 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever vows to obey Allah, let him obey Him, and whoever vows to disobey Allah, let him not disobey Him.
من نذر أن يطيع الله فليطعه، ومن نذر أن يعصي الله فلا يعصهAnd from Umm Sharik (may Allah be pleased with her):
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ordered me to kill chameleon. He also said, "It blew (fire) on Prophet Ibrahim.
