Yazid al-Raqashi narrates: Whenever Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated this hadith to us, he would also say: "By Allah, it is not the way you and your companions do." Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) meant that what you people do is that one man sits down, people gather around him, and he delivers a sermon (that is, he gives a speech). The practice of the Companions was that after offering the morning prayer they would sit in circles, reciting the Qur'an and learning the obligatory duties (fara'id) and the Sunnahs. The narrator Yazid al-Raqashi is da'if (weak).
