Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud (RA): Whenever Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) ascended the Minbar (to give the Friday Khutbah), we used to face him. [at-Tirmidhi reported it through a weak chain of narrators] . It has a Shahid (supporting narration) in the Hadith of al-Bara', reported by Ibn Khuzaimah.
