Hadith 20842

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، قَالَ : نَبَّأَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ سَمُرَةَ , أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " خَطَبَ قَائِمًا عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ، ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ ، ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَخْطُبُ قَائِمًا " ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ لِي جَابِرٌ فَمَنْ نَبَّأَكَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَخْطُبُ قَاعِدًا ، فَقَدْ كَذَبَ ، فَقَدْ وَاللَّهِ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَلْفَيْ صَلَاةٍ .
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 says that he saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delivering the sermon while sitting, he is speaking falsely. By Allah, I have performed more than two thousand prayers with him.
