Takhrij:
«أخرجه مسلم، الجمعة، باب قوله تعالي: (وإذا راوا تجارة أو لهوًا انفضوا اليها)، حديث:863.»©Explanation:
➊ This hadith proves that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to deliver the Friday sermon (khutbah) while standing. This is the Sunnah.
➋ This hadith also establishes that the sermon is delivered before the prayer, not after the prayer. Furthermore, it is proven that Friday prayer (Jumu‘ah) is valid even if there are only twelve individuals present. The view of the Shafi‘is, who have deemed forty people necessary, is not correct.
