 Where did the sermons of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, go?

The enemies of Islam doubt the companions and followers and claim that they did not preserve the Sunnah, as evidenced by the fact that they did not transmit to us the sermons of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace!!!!

I am amazed at the mentality of these ignorant people because the Companions, the Followers, the predecessors and the successors have transmitted to us the entire Sunnah and paid great attention to it to clarify what is authentic from what is not, and they spent their lives staying up late and traveling in order to collect and spread the Sunnah. It is known to all rational people, far and near, that the science of Hadith and chains of transmission are among the greatest and most precise sciences that distinguish Muslims from others. The books of the Sunnah and its sciences bear witness to the precision and keenness of the Companions, the Followers and Muslims in every era and place to transmit the Sunnah and preserve it with great precision. It is not reasonable that they did not transmit the sermons of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. However, these opponents must distance the lengthy style of contemporary sermons from the nature of the sermons of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was limited in his sermons, so a Qur’anic verse would be revealed to him and he would teach it only to the Muslims in the Friday sermon. He might recite the same verse in successive sermons without adding to it in order to confirm it. Likewise, his sermons were limited to informing them of one or more hadiths, so the Companions transmitted to us the hadiths of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that he used to inform us of in his sermons, and thus they would have They transmitted to us the sermons of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, in full, even if the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, went into great detail in a particular sermon and prolonged it. Every companion was keen to transmit the words of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, in a way that would benefit the Muslim, such as legislation, biography, or news of the Day of Resurrection. Each companion might be interested in transmitting only a specific part without others, so that nothing would escape him. In the end, the sermon would have been transmitted in full by one companion who had memorized all of the words of the Prophet, or according to what each companion transmitted, according to his interest and memorization of a specific matter that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, had said.

It is not necessary for every companion to write in every hadith that he transmitted from the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, that the Prophet attended on Friday and ascended the pulpit, then to mention the introduction and the sermon in full.

On the authority of Abu Wa’il, he said: Ammar delivered a sermon to us, and he was brief and eloquent. When he came down, we said: O Abu al-Yaqzan, you have been eloquent and concise. If only you had taken a breath. He said: I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, say: “The length of a man’s prayer and the brevity of his sermon are a sign of his understanding, so lengthen the prayer and shorten the sermon, for there is magic in eloquence.

” On the authority of Jabir ibn Samurah, he said: “I used to pray with the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and his prayer was moderate, and his sermon was moderate.”
And on his authority also, he said: “The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, did not prolong the sermon on Friday, rather they were a few words.

” It was narrated on the authority of the great companion, the daughter of Haritha ibn al-Nu’man, who said: “I have not memorized anything except what is in the mouth of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, which he used to deliver the sermon with every Friday.” The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, used to say: He repeated this Surah until he memorized it.

On the authority of Shu`ayb ibn Raziq al-Ta`ifi, he said: I sat with a man who was a companion of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he was called: Al-Hakam ibn Hazn al-Kalfi. He began to tell us. He said: I came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, as the seventh of seven - or the ninth of nine - and we entered upon him. We said: O Messenger of Allah, we have visited you, so pray to Allah for good for us. So he ordered us - or he ordered us - to be given some dates, and the situation at that time was not good. So we stayed there for days during which we attended the Friday prayer with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. So he stood leaning on a stick - or a bow - and praised Allah and extolled Him, with light, good, blessed words.

Despite that, some of the Companions transmitted the sermons of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in full in the style known as beginning with an introduction. Muslim scholars have collected them in books, including:
