حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ حَدَّثَن
َا سِمَاكٌ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَطُّ يَخْطُبُ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَّا قَائِمًا فَمَنْ حَدَّثَكَ أَنَّهُ جَلَسَ فَكَذِّبْهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ ثُمَّ يَقْعُدُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَخْطُبُ كَانَ يَخْطُبُ خُطْبَتَيْنِ يَقْعُدُ بَيْنَهُمَا فِي الْجُمُعَةِ

أبو سعيد
زائدة حدثن
English Translation
It was narrated from Jabir ibn Samura (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ deliver the Friday sermon except while standing. Whoever tells you he saw him deliver it while sitting has lied — he never did that. His prayer and his sermon were both moderate in length.
