Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that we were performing Jumu'ah with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when a (trading) caravan arrived. All the people except twelve ran towards it, so this verse was revealed: «وَإِذَا رَأَوْا تِجَارَةً أَوْ لَهْوًا انْفَضُّوا إِلَيْهَا» [الجمعة: 11] (When they see a trade or amusement, they rush towards it.)

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering the Friday sermon when a man entered (the mosque). The Prophet asked: "Have you prayed?" He replied: "No!" The Prophet said: "Stand up and offer two rak‘ahs."

Abu Zahriyah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that on Friday I was sitting with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Busr (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering the Friday sermon when a man came, stepping over people's necks. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: Sit down! You have caused harm and discomfort to the people. Abu Zahriyah (may Allah have mercy on him) says: We kept talking until the Imam arrived.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to deliver two sermons on the day of Jumu’ah, between which he would sit for a short while.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to deliver the sermon while standing, then he would sit down, then stand up and recite verses and remember Allah. His sermon and prayer used to be moderate in length.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon, his eyes would become red, his voice would rise, and his anger would intensify, as if he were warning an army and saying that it is about to attack you in the morning or evening. He joined his index and middle fingers and said: I and the Hour have been sent like this (together). He also said: After praise and glorification! The best speech is the Book of Allah, and the best guidance is the guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The worst matters are newly invented ones (in religion); every innovation is misguidance, and every misguidance is in the Fire. Then he said: I am closer to every believer than his own self. Whoever among the believers dies leaving wealth, it is for his family, and whoever leaves behind debt or children, then they are my responsibility, and the debt is upon me.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates that the Friday sermon of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to be such that after praising Allah, he would say in a loud voice. The same words are mentioned ahead.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports in a marfu’ narration: During the Friday sermon, when you say (to someone),“Be quiet!”then you have engaged in idle (futile) talk.

Sayyiduna Nu’man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite Surah Al-A’la and Al-Ghashiyah in the Friday prayer.

Ubaidullah bin Abi Rafi’ (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Marwan appointed Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) as the governor of Madinah. Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) led them in the Friday prayer, and in the first rak’ah he recited Surah Jumu’ah and in the second Surah Munafiqun. Ubaidullah says: When Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) was about to leave, I walked with him and said: You recited the same surahs that I heard Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) recite in Kufah. He replied: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recite these surahs.
