[Machine] He saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ giving a sermon while sitting. Do not believe him as I have seen him do so more than a hundred times. I have seen him give a sermon while standing, then sit silently without speaking anything, then he would stand and give another sermon. I asked, "What was his sermon like?" He said, "It was a concise speech through which he would admonish the people and recite verses from the Book of Allah, the Almighty."  

أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ قَاعِدًا قَطُّ فَلَا تُصَدِّقْهُ قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ مِائَةِ مَرَّةٍ فَرَأَيْتُهُ يَخْطُبُ قَائِمًا ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ فَلَا يَتَكَلَّمُ بِشَيْءٍ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَخْطُبُ خُطْبَتَهُ الْأُخْرَى قُلْتُ كَيْفَ كَانَتْ خُطْبَتُهُ؟ قَالَ كَانَتْ قَصْدًا كَلَامًا يَعِظُ بِهِ النَّاسَ وَيَقْرَأُ آيَاتٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ تَعَالَى
