Hadith #2
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ الزُّهْرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَمِّي حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ مَنْ حَدَّثَكَ أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ قَاعِدًا قَطُّ فَلَا تُصَدِّ
قْهُ قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ مِائَةِ مَرَّةٍ فَرَأَيْتُهُ يَخْطُبُ قَائِمًا ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ فَلَا يَتَكَلَّمُ بِشَيْءٍ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَخْطُبُ خُطْبَتَهُ الْأُخْرَى قُلْتُ كَيْفَ كَانَتْ خُطْبَتُهُ قَالَ كَانَتْ قَصْدًا كَلَامًا يَعِظُ بِهِ النَّاسَ وَيَقْرَأُ آيَاتٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى

English Translation
It was narrated from Jabir ibn Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: 'Whoever tells you that he saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivering the khutbah while seated, do not believe him. I saw him more than a hundred times and he would deliver the khutbah standing, then sit, then stand again and deliver the second khutbah.' He was asked: 'How was his khutbah?' He said: 'It was moderate — words with which he admonished the people and recited verses from the Book of Allah, the Exalted.'
