Narrated Salmah bin Al-Akwa' (RA): We used to offer the Friday prayer with Allah's Messenger (RA) and return (to our homes) while the walls had no shade for us to go under (at that time). [Agreed upon. This is the wording of al-Bukhari] . And in a narration of Muslim: "We used to offer the Friday prayers with him [Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم )] when the sun passed the meridian.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar (RA): Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: "Whoever is in time for a Rak'ah of the Friday prayer, or any other prayer, should add another (Rak'ah) to it and his prayer will then be complete." [an-Nasa'i, Ibn Majah and ad-Daraqutni reported it; the wording is from ad-Daraqutni. Its chain of narrators is Sahih (authentic), but Abu Hatim strengthened the view that it is Mursal (missing link after the Tabi'i)] .

Narrated Jabir bin Samurah (RA): The Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) used to deliver the Khutbah (religious talk, sermon) while standing. He ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) would then sit down and then stand up and deliver the Khutbah in a standing posture.

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah (RA): Whenever Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) delivered a Khutbah (religious talk), his eyes would become red, his voice rose and his anger would become intensified, as if he ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) was like one warning an army and saying, "The enemy has made a morning attack on you. The enemy has made an evening attack on you." He ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) would also say "Amma ba'du, the best of speech is embodied in the Book of Allah, and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad. And the most evil of affairs are their innovations and every innovation is misguidance." [Reported by Muslim] . And in a narration of Muslim: "In the Prophet's Khutbah on Friday: He would praise Allah and extol Him. Then, following that, he would say - and he had raised his voice..."
