Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon to us. He (peace and blessings be upon him) praised Allah as He deserves, then said: Indeed, the truest word is the Book of Allah, the most virtuous way is the way of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the worst matters are newly invented matters, and every innovation is misguidance. Then, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the Day of Judgment, his voice would become loud, his cheeks would turn red, and his anger would increase, and it would seem as if he was warning of an approaching army. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) would say: "The Hour has come upon you; I and the Hour have been sent like these two (fingers close together)." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) indicated with his index and middle fingers. "The Hour will come upon you in the morning or in the evening. Whoever dies leaving wealth, it is for his heirs (i.e., inheritors), and whoever leaves a debt or children, then it is upon me and my responsibility." "Daya’" means poor children.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Adi bin Hatim Ta’i that a man addressed the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger has indeed found guidance, and whoever disobeys both of them has indeed gone astray. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: What an excellent orator you are! Say: and whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon while standing on both of his legs.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would stand and deliver the sermon on the day of Jumu’ah, then sit down, and then stand and deliver (the second) sermon.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would deliver the sermon twice on Friday and would sit once between them.

(Second chain) Indeed, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) used to sit between the two sermons.

Simak bin Harb says: Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) informed me that he saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stand on the pulpit and deliver a sermon, then he sat down and did not speak during that sitting, then he stood up (and delivered) the second sermon. Then Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me: Whoever told you that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to deliver the sermon while sitting, he has certainly lied. By Allah! I have performed more than two thousand prayers with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

(Second chain of narration) In this, after "he certainly lied," these words are present: But sometimes it would happen that you would come and see that the people were few, so you, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, would sit down, until people came into the mosque, then you, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, would stand up and deliver the sermon while standing.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he said: I never saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) deliver the Friday sermon except while standing. Therefore, if anyone tells you that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to deliver the sermon while sitting, then reject it, because he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do so. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would deliver the sermon, then sit down, then stand and deliver the sermon again. He (peace and blessings be upon him) would deliver two sermons on Friday and would sit between the two.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I have performed prayer with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), his prayer was moderate and his sermon was also moderate. With the same chain of narration, he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to deliver two sermons, he would sit between them, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would recite the Noble Qur’an in them and would admonish and advise the people.
