Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) settled upon the pulpit, he said: "Sit down." Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) heard this and sat down right at the door of the mosque. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw him and said: "O Abdullah bin Mas'ud! Come (closer)." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs, but they did not record it.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah al-Suwa'i (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Whoever tells you that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to deliver the sermon sitting on the pulpit, call him a liar, for I bear witness that he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to deliver the sermon standing, then sit, then stand again and deliver a second sermon. The narrator said: I asked: What was his (peace and blessings be upon him) sermon like? He said: It was speech with which he (peace and blessings be upon him) admonished the people, and he recited verses from the Book of Allah, then he came down from the pulpit. His (peace and blessings be upon him) sermon and prayer were both moderate. In the prayer he would recite surahs like "By the sun and its morning brightness" and "By the sky and the night-comer", except for the Fajr and Zuhr prayers. (Sayyiduna) Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) would call the adhan when the sun had passed its zenith; then, if the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came, he would call the iqamah, otherwise he would remain silent until he (peace and blessings be upon him) came. The Asr and Maghrib prayers were just like your prayer, but he (peace and blessings be upon him) would pray the Isha prayer a little later than your prayer. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but he did not record it with this detail. He recorded only two brief sentences from the narration of Abu al-Ahwas from Simak: "He (peace and blessings be upon him) used to deliver two sermons, sitting between them" and "His (peace and blessings be upon him) prayer was moderate."

Sayyiduna al-Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delivering the sermon, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying: "I have warned you of the Fire! I have warned you of the Fire!" (He (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying it so loudly that) if a man had been in the market, he too would have heard it from this place of mine, until the cloak on his (peace and blessings be upon him) shoulder fell at his (peace and blessings be upon him) feet. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering the sermon when Sayyiduna al-Hasan and Sayyiduna al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with them both) came. They were both wearing red shirts and were stumbling and falling as they walked (because of their young age). So he (peace and blessings be upon him) came down from the pulpit, picked them both up and seated them in front of him. Then he said: "Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth: 'Your wealth and your children are only a trial' [Surah al-Taghabun: 15] . I saw these two children of mine and I could not bear it until I came down and picked them up." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) resumed his sermon. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it. It is a foundation (evidence) for the permissibility of interrupting the sermon and coming down from the pulpit when there is a need.

Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I entered the mosque while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering the sermon, and I sat down near Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him). Meanwhile, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited Surah Bara'ah (al-Tawbah). I asked Ubayy bin Ka'b: When was this surah revealed? (The narrator then mentioned the whole) hadith. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs, but they did not record it.

Abu al-Zahiriyyah said: I was sitting with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Busr (may Allah be pleased with him) on Friday, and he kept narrating hadith to us until the imam came out for the sermon. Meanwhile, a man came stepping over the necks of the people while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering the sermon, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Sit down, for you have certainly caused people harm and you have come late." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Performing the Friday (prayer) in congregation is a right and an obligation upon every Muslim, except four: a slave, a woman, a child, or a sick person." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs, for both of them agreed on using Huraym bin Sufyan as evidence, but they did not record it. Ibn Uyaynah narrated it from Ibrahim bin Muhammad, and he did not mention Abu Musa in his chain; and Tariq bin Shihab is counted among the Companions.

Iyas bin Abi Ramlah al-Shami says: I saw Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah bin Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was asking Sayyiduna Zayd bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him): Were you present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on an occasion when two Eids (Eid and Friday) came together on a single day? He said: Yes. Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: What did he (peace and blessings be upon him) do on that day? He said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) led the Eid prayer and then granted a concession regarding (attendance at) the Friday prayer, and said: "Whoever wishes to pray the Friday prayer, let him pray it." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. It also has a supporting report (shahid) on the condition of Imam Muslim:

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Two Eids have come together on this day of yours; so for whoever wishes, the Eid prayer will suffice him in place of the Friday prayer, but we will be holding the Friday prayer." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim; there is no disagreement about the truthfulness of Baqiyyah bin al-Walid when he narrates from well-known narrators. And it is a gharib (singular) hadith through the narration of Shu'bah, al-Mughirah and Abd al-Aziz, and all of them are narrators whose hadith is collected (for use as evidence).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him) that a preacher gave a sermon in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger is rightly guided, and whoever disobeys the two of them (for which he used the dual pronoun) has gone astray." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Stand up - or he said: go away - what a bad preacher you are." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.
