(مَنْعُ الْوُقُوفِ بِلَا ضَرُورَةٍ خِلَالَ الْخُطْبَةِ)
(It is not right to stand without necessity during the sermon)
Hadith 1418
وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا اسْتَوَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ قَالَ: «اجْلِسُوا» فَسَمِعَ ذَلِكَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَجَلَسَ عَلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَرَآهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «تَعَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ» رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ
Jabir said that when God’s Messenger seated himself on the pulpit on a Friday he said, “Sit down.” Ibn Mas'ud heard that and sat down at the door of the mosque, and when God’s Messenger saw him he said, “Come here, ‘Abdallah b. Mas'ud.” Abu Dawud transmitted it.
