Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ يَقُولُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَجْلِسُ بَيْنَ الْخُطْبَتَيْنِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَيَخْطُبُ قَائِمًا وَكَانَتْ صَلَاتُهُ قَصْدًا وَخُطْبَتُهُ قَصْدًا وَيَقْرَأُ آيَاتٍ مِنْ الْقُرْآنِ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ.
English Translation
Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us: Sufyan informed us from Simak ibn Harb, who said: I heard Jabir ibn Samurah say: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to sit between the two sermons on Friday, deliver the sermon standing, and his prayer was moderate and his sermon was moderate, and he would recite verses from the Qur'an on the pulpit.
