Hadith 359
اُردوEn
وعن جابر بن سمرة رضي الله عنهما : أن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم كان يخطب قائما ، ثم يجلس ، ثم يقوم فيخطب قائما ، فمن أنبأك أنه كان يخطب جالسا فقد كذب. أخرجه مسلم.
Narrated Jabir bin Samurah (RA): The Prophet (ﷺ) used to deliver the Khutbah (religious talk, sermon) while standing. He (ﷺ) would then sit down and then stand up and deliver the Khutbah in a standing posture. So, whoever informs you that he [the Prophet (ﷺ)] delivered the Khutbah (religious talk, sermon) while sitting has definitely told a lie. [Reported by Muslim].
