(بَيَانُ أَنَّ مَنْ جَاءَ لِلْجُمُعَةِ يَصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْجُلُوسِ)
(Explanation that one who comes for Friday prayer should pray two rak‘ahs before sitting)
Hadith 1411
وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسلم وَهُوَ يخْطب: «إِذَا جَاءَ أَحَدُكُمْ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَالْإِمَامُ يَخْطُبُ فليركع رَكْعَتَيْنِ وليتجوز فيهمَا» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم
Jabir reported God’s Messenger as saying in the course of a sermon, “When one of you comes on Friday while the imam is preaching, he should pray two rak'as and make them short.” Muslim transmitted it.
