[Machine] "He saw the Prophet ﷺ delivering a sermon standing on the pulpit, then he sat and then stood again to deliver the sermon standing. Jabir asked me, 'Who told you that he used to deliver the sermon while sitting? He is lying. By Allah, I have prayed with him more than two thousand prayers.'"  

أحمد:٢٠٩٥٤ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ قَالَ نَبَّأَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ سَمُرَةَ

أَنَّهُ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ قَائِمًا عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَخْطُبُ قَائِمًا قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي جَابِرٌ مَنْ نَبَّأَكَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَخْطُبُ قَاعِدًا فَقَدْ كَذَبَ فَقَدْ وَاللهِ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَلْفَيْ صَلَاةٍ

Jabir b. Samura said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to deliver the sermon while standing. He would then sit down and then stand up and address in a standing posture; and whoever informed you that he (the Holy Prophet) delivered the sermon while sitting told a lie. By Allah. I prayed with him more than two thousand times.
