Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكٌ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَطُّ يَخْطُبُ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَّا قَائِمًا فَمَنْ حَدَّثَكَ أَنَّهُ جَلَسَ فَكَذِّبْهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ ثُمَّ يَقْعُدُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَخْطُبُ خُطْبَتَيْنِ يَقْعُدُ بَيْنَهُمَا فِي الْجُمُعَةِ.
English Translation
Jabir ibn Samurah said: I never saw the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) deliver the Friday sermon except standing. Whoever tells you that he sat, call them a liar, for he never did. The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to deliver the sermon, then sit, then stand and deliver another. He would deliver two sermons with a sitting between them on Friday.
