(سُنَّةٌ الاِسْتِنَادُ إِلَى الْعَصَا فِي الْخُطْبَةِ)
(It is Sunnah to lean on a stick during the sermon)
Hadith 1445
وَعَنْ عَطَاءٍ مُرْسَلًا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا خَطَبَ يَعْتَمِدُ عَلَى عنزته اعْتِمَادًا. رَوَاهُ الشَّافِعِي
‘Ata’ told in mursal form that when the Prophet preached he would lean on his javelin. Shafi'i transmitted it.
