Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ عَنْ زَائِدَةَ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَائِمًا فَمَنْ حَدَّثَكَ أَنَّهُ جَلَسَ فَكَذِّبْهُ قَالَ وَقَالَ جَابِرٌ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ خُطْبَتَيْنِ يَخْطُبُ ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَخْطُبُ وَكَانَتْ خُطْبَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَصَلَاتُهُ قَصْدًا.
English Translation
Jabir ibn Samurah said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) used to deliver the Friday sermon standing. Whoever tells you that he sat, call them a liar. Jabir said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) used to deliver two sermons - he would deliver the first, then sit, then stand and deliver the second. His sermon and his prayer were moderate in length.
