Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Sulaik Ghatafani (may Allah be pleased with him) came while the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering the sermon on Friday. He sat down before performing the prayer, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed him to perform two rak‘ahs. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned his blessed face towards the people and said: "When any person comes for the Friday prayer and the Imam is delivering the sermon, he should perform two rak‘ahs and make them brief."

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Sulaik Ghatafani (may Allah be pleased with him) came while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering a sermon to the people. He sat down, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When any person comes on the day of Jumu'ah and the Imam is delivering the sermon, he should perform two short rak'ahs and then sit down."

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Sulaik Ghatafani (may Allah be pleased with him) reported this: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When any one of you comes and the Imam is delivering the sermon, then he should perform two short rak‘ahs and perform them quickly."

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying during the sermon: "When any one of you comes and the Imam is delivering the sermon (the narrator is in doubt, perhaps the words are: the Imam has arrived), then that person should perform two rak‘ahs."

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "When a person comes and the Imam is delivering the sermon at that time, then that person should perform two rak‘ahs." The narrator states: I asked my teacher Amr whether he had heard this hadith from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him)? So he replied: "Yes!"

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (The narrator is in doubt, perhaps these are the words:) The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said while delivering the sermon: "When a person comes and the Imam is delivering the sermon at that time, then that person should perform two rak‘ahs."

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said while delivering the sermon: "When a person comes and the Imam is delivering the sermon at that time, then that person should perform two rak‘ahs."

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: One day, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering the sermon on Friday, when a man entered. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed him to perform two rak‘ahs, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When any person comes and the Imam is delivering the sermon, then that person should perform two rak‘ahs."

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man from the Qais tribe entered (the mosque) while the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering the sermon. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "You stand up and perform two rak‘ahs." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) paused his sermon until he finished the prayer. This narration is reported in the same way from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), however, the narrator made an error in it. The correct version is: it is transmitted as a mursal narration from the father of Mu'tamir. However, Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal has narrated it in this manner.

Mu'tamir narrates from his father: A man came (into the mosque) while the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was delivering the sermon. The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked: "O so-and-so! Have you performed the prayer?" He replied: "No!" So the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Then perform the prayer," and the Prophet (peace be upon him) waited for him until he had performed the prayer.
