Hadith 20833

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ ، قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " يَخْطُبُ قَائِمًا ، ثُمَّ يَقْعُدُ قَعْدَةً لَا يَتَكَلَّمُ ، ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَخْطُبُ خُطْبَةً أُخْرَى عَلَى مِنْبَرِهِ " ، فَمَنْ حَدَّثَكَ أَنَّهُ رَآهُ يَخْطُبُ قَاعِدًا فَلَا تُصَدِّقْهُ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delivering the sermon while standing, and then after a short while he would sit down and would not speak to anyone, then he would stand up and deliver the second sermon. Therefore, if anyone among you states that he saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delivering the sermon while sitting, he is speaking falsely.
