Sermon
The Arabic word for "sermon" is خطبة (khutbah) [1]. When you search for the word "sermon" in the English translations, you will find exactly 0 occurrences [2]. And when you search through the Arabic Qur'an it doesn't get any better. The word is derived from the root خطب (kh-t-b). When we search for all words derived from this root, we get this list:
| Count | Verse | Word in Arabic | Translation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2:235 | خِطْبَةِ | marriage proposal |
| 2 | 11:37 | تُخَٰطِبْنِى | address me |
| 3 | 12:51 | خَطْبُكُنَّ | your affair |
| 4 | 15:57 | خَطْبُكُمْ | your business |
| 5 | 20:95 | خَطْبُكَ | your case |
| 6 | 23:27 | تُخَٰطِبْنِى | address me |
| 7 | 25:63 | خَاطَبَهُمُ | address them |
| 8 | 28:23 | خَطْبُكُمَا | matter of you |
| 9 | 38:20 | ٱلْخِطَابِ | the speech |
| 10 | 38:23 | ٱلْخِطَابِ | the speech |
| 11 | 51:31 | خَطْبُكُمْ | your mission |
| 12 | 78:37 | خِطَابًا | addressing |
There are nouns and verbs together and only two cases which are close to the meaning of "sermon". These are the verses 38:20 and 38:23, but in the context, they are not talking about a sermon. And even if we counted all the words from this root we would get max 12 occurrences.
Admonition
If you want to know the Arabic word for this miracle, you will probably have to search through the Arabic internet for the word repetition miracles in the Qur'an and you will find that the two words are "tongue" and "admonishment" (not "sermon") [3].
