Hadith of Jabir ibn Samurah al-Suwa'i (RA)
حديث جابر بن سمرة السوائي
Hadith 907:68
Husayn ibn Ali narrated to us, from Za'idah, from Simak, from Jabir ibn Samurah, who said: "I never saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, deliver a sermon on Friday except while standing. So whoever tells you that he saw him delivering a sermon while sitting, he has lied." He said: And Simak said: Jabir ibn Samurah said: "The prayer of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and his sermon were of moderate length." And Jabir ibn Samurah said: "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to deliver the sermon standing, then he would sit, then he would stand and deliver the sermon."
حدثنا حسين بن علي، عن زائدة، عن سماك، عن جابر بن سمرة، قال: " ما رأيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يخطب يوم الجمعة قط، إلا وهو قائم، فمن حدثك أنه رآه يخطب وهو قاعد، فقد كذب " قال: وقال سماك: قال جابر بن سمرة: " كانت صلاة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، وخطبته قصدا " وقال جابر بن سمرة: " كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يخطب قائما، ثم يجلس، ثم يقوم فيخطب "
