Hazrat Ismail bin Abi Khalid narrates that I saw Hazrat Shurayh come during the Friday sermon and sit down. He did not step over people's necks to move forward.

Hazrat Salman says: Refrain from stepping over necks to move forward on Friday; sit wherever you find a place.

Hazrat Abu Huraira says that for me, offering prayer at the place of Harrah is more beloved than stepping over people's necks.

Hazrat Ka'b says that it is more beloved to me to miss the Friday prayer than to step over people's necks.

Muhammad says that once an amir delivered a sermon for a very long time, so I burst a boil on my hand from which blood started to flow. Using this as an excuse, I got up (so that I could go and perform my prayer). Meanwhile, his guards caught hold of me. But I kept on walking and went outside.

Hazrat Abdul Wahid bin Sabrah says that Hazrat Salim once told Hazrat Qasim bin Muhammad that when our leader came to us and led us in the Friday prayer, he kept delivering a sermon and reading letters for so long that the time for Friday prayer passed, but he did not descend and lead the prayer. Upon hearing this, Hazrat Qasim asked him, "Then did you not stand up and perform your prayer?" Salim said, "No, by God! I was afraid that people would say that one of the descendants of Umar did this." He asked, "Did you not perform your prayer sitting?" Salim said, "No." Hazrat Qasim asked, "Did you not even perform your prayer by gesture?" He said, "No." Then Hazrat Salim told that he kept delivering the sermon and reading the letter until even the time for Asr prayer passed, but he did not descend and lead the prayer. Hazrat Qasim asked him, "Did you not stand up and perform your prayer?" He said, "No." Qasim asked, "Did you not even perform your prayer sitting?" He said, "No." Qasim asked, "Did you not even perform your prayer by gesture?" He said, "No."

Hazrat Abu Bakr bin Amr bin Utbah Zahri narrates that Hajjaj delayed the Friday prayer. When he led the prayer, Hazrat Abu Juhaifa also prayed with him and then later offered two more rak‘ahs. Then he said, "O Abu Bakr! I make you a witness that this is the Asr prayer."

Hazrat Ibrahim bin Muhajir says that Hajjaj used to delay the Friday prayer a lot, because of which I, Hazrat Ibrahim, and Hazrat Saeed bin Jubair would perform the Zuhr prayer and talk during his sermon. Then we would perform the prayer with the people with the intention of nafl (supererogatory) prayer.

Hazrat Muslim says that during the time of Ziyad, I used to sit with Hazrat Masruq and Hazrat Abu Ubaidah. When the time for prayer would come, both of them would stand up and perform the prayer, then sit down again. Then, when the muezzin would give the call to prayer and the imam would come out, they would stand up and perform the prayer with him as well, and they used to do this at the time of Asr.

Hazrat Abu Hashim narrates that once Hajjaj delayed the prayer, so Hazrat Abu Wa'il performed the prayer by gesturing while sitting.
