´It was narrated from Jabir bin ‘Abdullah that a man entered the mosque one Friday when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was delivering the sermon. He started stepping over the people’s shoulders, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` ‘Sit down, for you have annoyed (people) and you are late.’”
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ One should go early for Jumu‘ah so that a suitable place closer to the imam can be obtained.
➋ If one arrives late, then one should sit wherever space is available at the back.
➌ It is not appropriate to cause inconvenience to others in an attempt to move forward.
➍ If any worshipper behaves inappropriately, the imam may prohibit him during the sermon so that others also become aware and refrain from such actions.
