[Machine] We used to gather with the Prophet ﷺ after the sun had set, then we would return and track the booty.  

كُنَّا نُجَمِّعُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ ثُمَّ نَرْجِعُ نَتَتَبَّعُ الْفَيْءَ  

[Machine] He asked Jabir ibn Abdullah when the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to pray Jumu'ah. Jabir replied, "He used to pray, then we would go to our camels to give them some rest, meaning the grazing." Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us that Muhammad ibn Ya'qub narrated to us that Muhammad ibn Nadir ibn Salamah ibn al-Jarud narrated to us, who narrated from Abdullah ibn Abdul Rahman al-Darimi, who narrated from Yahya ibn Hassan, who narrated from Sulaiman ibn Bilal, who narrated from Ja'far ibn Muhammad, who mentioned the hadith in a similar way and added that when the sun sets.  

أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ مَتَى كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الْجُمُعَةَ؟ فَقَالَ جَابِرٌ كَانَ يُصَلِّي ثُمَّ نَذْهَبُ إِلَى جِمَالِنَا لِنُرِيحَهَا يَعْنِي النَّوَاضِحَ 5672 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ نَضْرِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْجَارُودِ أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدَّارِمِيُّ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَسَّانَ ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِمِثْلِهِ وَزَادَ فِيهِ حِينَ تَزُولُ الشَّمْسُ  

[Machine] We used to pray with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and then we would return and rest our legs. Hasan said, "I asked Ja'far bin Muhammad, 'At what time is that?'" He replied, "When the sun sets."  

كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ نَرْجِعُ فَنُرِيحُ نَوَاضِحَنَا قَالَ حَسَنٌ فَقُلْتُ لِجَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي أِيِّ سَاعَةٍ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ  

[Machine] We used to pray with the Prophet ﷺ on Fridays, but there was no shade for the walls.  

كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَلَيْسَ لِلْحِيطَانِ فَيْءٌ يُسْتَظَلُّ بِهِ  

We used to offer the Friday prayer along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and return (to our homes) while no shade of the walls was seen (at that time). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1085)   

كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْجُمُعَةَ ثُمَّ نَنْصَرِفُ وَلَيْسَ لِلْحِيطَانِ ظِلٌّ يُسْتَظَلُّ بِهِ  

[Machine] We used to pray with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on Friday, then we would hasten towards the booty, and there would be nothing but the place of our feet or both our feet. In the narration of Abu Mu'awiya, then we would return and find nothing on the ground but the shade of our feet.  

كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْجُمُعَةَ ثُمَّ نَبْتَدِرُ الْفَيْءَ فَمَا يَكُونُ إِلَّا مَوْضِعُ الْقَدَمِ أَوِ الْقَدَمَيْنِ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ ثُمَّ نَرْجِعُ فَلَا نَجِدُ فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنَ الظِّلِّ إِلَّا مَوْضِعَ أَقْدَامِنَا  

[Machine] I heard Anas ibn Malik being called by Yazid Ad-Dabbai on a Friday, saying "O Abu Hamzah, you witnessed the prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and you have also witnessed the prayer with us, so how did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform the Friday prayer?" He replied, "When the weather was cold, he would hasten to perform the prayer, and when the weather was hot, he would make it cooler with the prayer."  

سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ وَنَادَاهُ يَزِيدُ الضَّبِّيُّ يَوْمَ جُمُعَةٍ يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ قَدْ شَهِدْتَ الصَّلَاةَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَشَهِدْتَ الصَّلَاةَ مَعَنَا فَكَيْفَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الْجُمُعَةَ؟ فَقَالَ كَانَ إِذَا اشْتَدَّ الْبَرْدُ بَكَّرَ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَإِذَا اشْتَدَّ الْحَرُّ أَبْرَدَ بِالصَّلَاةِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to pray early when it was cold, and he used to cool off with prayer when it was hot, meaning on Fridays.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا اشْتَدَّ الْبَرْدُ بَكَّرَ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَإِذَا اشْتَدَّ الْحَرُّ أَبْرَدَ بِالصَّلَاةِ يَعْنِي الْجُمُعَةَ  

[Machine] I heard Anas ibn Malik while he was sitting with the ruler, the Amir of Basra, on the bed, saying: "The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to pray when it was hot and pray when it was cold."  

سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ مَعَ الْحَكَمِ أَمِيرِ الْبَصْرَةِ عَلَى السَّرِيرِ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ الْحَرُّ أَبْرَدَ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَإِذَا كَانَ الْبَرْدُ بَكَّرَ بِالصَّلَاةِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to perform the noon prayer early in winter and postpone it in summer. He used to pray the afternoon prayer while the sun was still white and clear. Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us, Abu Ahmed Muhammad ibn Muhammad informed us, Ibrahim ibn Muhammad al-Faraidhi informed us, Ahmed ibn Abdur Rahman al-Kudbarani informed us, Bishr ibn Thabit al-Bazzar mentioned it and it was also mentioned by al-Bukhari.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا كَانَ الشِّتَاءُ بَكَّرَ بِالظُّهْرِ وَإِذَا كَانَ الصَّيْفُ أَخَّرَهَا وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ وَالشَّمْسُ بَيْضَاءُ نَقِيَّةٌ 5680 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو أَحْمَدَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْفَرَائِضِيُّ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْكُذْبَرَانِيُّ ثنا بِشْرُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الْبَزَّارُ فَذَكَرَهُ وَقَدْ أَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ الْبُخَارِيُّ  

[Machine] "That the call to prayer on Fridays was first initiated when the Imam would go out during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and during the time of Abu Bakr and during the time of Umar when the Imam would go out, and when the prayer started until the time of Uthman when the people increased, so the third call to prayer was added on top of the minaret and it remained until the hour."  

أَنَّ النِّدَاءَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ كَانَ أَوَّلُهُ إِذَا خَرَجَ الْإِمَامُ فِي زَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَفِي زَمَانِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَفِي زَمَانِ عُمَرَ إِذَا خَرَجَ الْإِمَامُ وَإِذَا قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ حَتَّى كَانَ زَمَانُ عُثْمَانَ فَكَثُرَ النَّاسُ فَزَادَ النِّدَاءُ الثَّالِثُ عَلَى الزَّوْرَاءِ فَثَبَتَتْ حَتَّى السَّاعَةِ  

[Machine] "From Abdul Aziz."  

عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "Whoever takes a bath on the day of Friday, wears his best clothes, applies perfume if he has it, and does not harm or push others, then prays as much as Allah wills. When the imam comes out, he should remain silent. That will serve as an expiation until the next Friday."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنِ اغْتَسَلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَاسْتَاكَ وَلَبِسَ أَحْسَنَ ثِيَابِهِ وَتَطَيَّبَ بِطِيبٍ إِنْ وَجَدَهُ ثُمَّ جَاءَ وَلَمْ يَتَخَطَّ رِقَابَ النَّاسِ فَصَلَّى مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ فَإِذَا خَرَجَ الْإِمَامُ سَكَتَ فَذَلِكَ كَفَّارَةٌ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ الْأُخْرَى  

[Machine] He said that the exit of the imam interrupts the prayer and his talking interrupts the conversation.  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ خُرُوجُ الْإِمَامِ يَقْطَعُ الصَّلَاةَ وَكَلَامُهُ يَقْطَعُ الْكَلَامَ  

[Machine] "And that his speech interrupts the conversation and that they used to talk on Fridays. And Umar was sitting on the pulpit, so when the muezzin stopped, Umar stood up and no one spoke until he finished both sermons. Then when the prayer was established and Umar descended, they spoke."  

وَأَنَّ كَلَامَهُ يَقْطَعُ الْكَلَامَ وَأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَتَحَدَّثُونَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَعُمَرُ جَالِسٌ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَإِذَا سَكَتَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ قَامَ عُمَرُ فَلَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ أَحَدٌ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ الْخُطْبَتَيْنِ كِلْتَيْهِمَا فَإِذَا قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ وَنَزَلَ عُمَرُ تَكَلَّمُوا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The Imam's entrance for the Friday prayer means he interrupts his prayer and his speech interrupts the speech. And this is a grave mistake. For indeed, the  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خُرُوجُ الْإِمَامِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ لِلصَّلَاةِ يَعْنِي يَقْطَعُ الصَّلَاةَ وَكَلَامُهُ يَقْطَعُ الْكَلَامَ وَهَذَا خَطَأٌ فَاحِشٌ فَإِنَّمَا  

The Prophet ﷺ disapproved of the offering of prayer at the meridian except on Friday. The Hell-fire is kindled except on Friday. Abu Dawud said: This is a mursal tradition (i.e. the successor is narrating it directly from the Prophet). Mujahid is older than Abu al-Khalil, and Abu al-Khalil did not hear (any tradition from) Abu Qatadah. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1083)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ نِصْفَ النَّهَارِ إِلَّا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ لِأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ تُسَعَّرُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ إِلَّا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ  

[Machine] A man entered, and the Prophet ﷺ was delivering a sermon. The man asked, "Did you pray?" The Prophet replied, "No." The man said, "Pray two units (rak'ah)." And Sufyan narrated to us from Abu Zubair from Jabir, who said, "And he was wearing a garment from Sulayk Al-Ghatafani."  

دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ فَقَالَ صَلَّيْتَ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ وَهُوَ سُلَيْكٌ الْغَطَفَانِيُّ  

[Machine] Jabir ibn Abdullah heard a man enter the mosque while the Messenger of Allah was giving a Friday sermon. He asked, "O so-and-so, did you perform the prayer?" He replied, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then pray two rak'ahs."  

سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَقُولُ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ الْمَسْجِدَ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ يَا فُلَانُ أَصَلَّيْتَ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ  

Have you observed two rak'ahs? He said: No. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Stand and observe them (Using translation from Muslim 875f)   

أَنَّهُ قَالَ جَاءَ سُلَيْكٌ الْغَطَفَانِيُّ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَاعِدٌ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَعَدَ سُلَيْكٌ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَرَكَعْتَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ قُمْ فَارْكَعْهُمَا  

[Machine] Sulayk al-Ghatafani came while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was delivering the Friday sermon and he (Sulayk) said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ , did you pray the two Rak'ahs?" He (the Messenger of Allah) replied, "No." He (Sulayk) said, "Get up and pray two Rak'ahs, then make them brief." He also said, "When any one of you comes while the Imam is delivering the sermon, he should pray two Rak'ahs and make them brief." This is a wording attributed to 'Isa bin Yunus.  

جَاءَ سُلَيْكٌ الْغَطَفَانِيُّ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَصَلَّيْتَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ؟ فَقَالَ لَا قَالَ قُمْ فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَتَجَوَّزْ فِيهِمَا وَقَالَ إِذَا جَاءَ أَحَدُكُمْ وَالْإِمَامُ يَخْطُبُ فَلْيَرْكَعْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَلْيَتَجَوَّزْ فِيهِمَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ عِيسَى بْنِ يُونُسَ  

[Machine] Abu Said, I wouldn't have left them for anything after what I saw from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . I saw a man enter the mosque in a dirty garment while the Prophet ﷺ was delivering the Friday sermon. The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Did you pray, O so-and-so?" He replied, "No." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Offer two rak'ahs and then enter during the second sermon."  

أَبُو سَعِيدٍ مَا كُنْتُ لِأَدَعَهُمَا لِشَيْءٍ بَعْدَ شَيْءٍ رَأَيْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدِ بِهَيْئَةٍ بَذَّةٍ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَصَلَّيْتَ يَا فُلَانُ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَائِمٌ يَخْطُبُ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَصَلَّيْتَ يَا فُلَانُ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When any of you enters the mosque, let them not sit down until they have prayed two units (rak'at)."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا دَخَلَ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَلَا يَجْلِسْ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ  

I entered the mosque, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had been sitting among people, and I also sat down among them. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: What prevented you from offering two rak'ahs (of Nafl prayer) before sitting down? I said: Messenger of Allah, I saw you sitting and people sitting (around you and I, therefore, sat in your company). He (the Holy Prophet) then said: When anyone among you enters the mosque, he should not sit till he has observed two rak'ahs. (Using translation from Muslim 714b)   

عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ جَالِسٌ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانِي النَّاسِ قَالَ فَجَلَسْتُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَرْكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَجْلِسَ؟ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ رَأَيْتُكَ جَالِسًا وَالنَّاسُ جُلُوسٌ قَالَ إِذَا دَخَلَ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَجْلِسَ فَلَا يَجْلِسْ حَتَّى يَرْكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ  

That he heard Jabir bin ʿAbdullah saying, "The roof of the Mosque was built over trunks of datepalms working as pillars. When the Prophet ﷺ delivered a sermon, he used to stand by one of those trunks till the pulpit was made for him, and he used it instead. Then we heard the trunk sending a sound like of a pregnant she-camel till the Prophet ﷺ came to it, and put his hand over it, then it became quiet." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3585)   

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَقُولُ كَانَ الْمَسْجِدُ فِي زَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَسْقُوفًا عَلَى جُذُوعٍ مِنْ نَخْلٍ فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا خَطَبَ يَقُومُ إِلَى جِذْعٍ فَلَمَّا صُنِعَ الْمِنْبَرُ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ فَسَمِعْنَا لِذَلِكَ الْجِذْعِ صَوْتًا كَصَوْتِ الْعِشَارِ حَتَّى جَاءَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهَا فَسَكَنَتْ  

Some people came to Sahl b. Sa'd and began to differ about the wood of which the (Prophet's pulpit was made. He (Sahl b. Sa'd) said: By Allah, I know of which wood it is made and who made it, and the day when I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seated himself on it on the first day. I said to him: O Abu Abbas (kunyah of Sabl b. Sa'd), narrate to us (all these facts), He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a person to a woman asking her to allow her slave, a carpenter, to work on woods (to prepare a pulpit) so that I should talk to the people (sitting on it). Abu Hazim said: He (Sahl b. Sa'd) pointed out the name of (that lady) that day. So he (the carpenter) made (a pulpit) with these three steps. Then the Messengerof Allah ﷺ commanded it to be placed here (where it is lying now). It was fashioned out of the wood of al-Ghaba. And I saw the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) standing upon it and glorifying Allah and the people also glorified Allah after him, while he was on the pulpit. He then raised (his head from prostration) and stepped back (on his heels) till he prostrated himself at the base of pulpit, and then returned (to the former place and this movement of one or two steps continued) till the prayer was complete. He then turned towards the people and said: O people, I have done it so that you should follow me and learn (my mode of) prayer. (Using translation from Muslim 544a)   

أَمَا وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ مِنْ أِيِّ عُودٍ هُوَ وَمَنْ عَمَلَهُ وَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَوَّلَ يَوْمٍ جَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَبَا عَبَّاسٍ فَحَدِّثْنَا فَقَالَ أَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى امْرَأَةٍ قَالَ أَبُو حَازِمٍ إِنَّهُ سَمَّاهَا يَوْمَئِذٍ انْظُرِي غُلَامَكِ النَّجَّارَ يَعْمَلُ لِي أَعْوَادًا لِأُكَلِّمَ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا فَعَمِلَ هَذِهِ الثَّلَاثَ دَرَجَاتٍ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَوُضِعَتْ هَذَا الْمَوْضِعَ فَهِيَ مِنْ طَرْفَاءِ الْغَابَةِ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَامَ عَلَيْهِ فَكَبَّرَ وَكَبَّرَ النَّاسُ وَرَاءَهُ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَعْنِي ثُمَّ رَكَعَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَنَزَلَ الْقَهْقَرَى حَتَّى سَجَدَ فِي أَصْلِ الْمِنْبَرِ ثُمَّ عَادَ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْ آخِرِ صَلَاتِهِ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّمَا صَنَعْتُ هَذَا لِتَأْتَمُّوا بِي وَلِتَعْلَمُوا صَلَاتِي  

The Prophet ﷺ used to stand by a tree or a date-palm on Friday. Then an Ansari woman or man said. "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Shall we make a pulpit for you?" He replied, "If you wish." So they made a pulpit for him and when it was Friday, he proceeded towards the pulpit (for delivering the sermon). The datepalm cried like a child! The Prophet ﷺ descended (the pulpit) and embraced it while it continued moaning like a child being quietened. The Prophet ﷺ said, "It was crying for (missing) what it used to hear of religious knowledge given near to it." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3584)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُومُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَى شَجَرَةٍ أَوْ نَخْلَةٍ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَوْ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَا تَجْعَلُ لَكَ مِنْبَرًا؟ قَالَ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ فَاجْعَلُوهُ فَجَعَلُوا لَهُ مِنْبَرًا فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ ذَهَبَ إِلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَصَاحَتِ النَّخْلَةُ صِيَاحَ الصَّبِيِّ فَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَضَمَّهَا إِلَيْهِ كَانَتْ تَئِنُّ أَنِينَ الصَّبِيِّ الَّذِي يَسْكُتُ قَالَ كَانَتْ تَبْكِي عَلَى مَا كَانَتْ تَسْمَعُ مِنَ الذِّكْرِ عِنْدَهَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ  

[Machine] When the messenger of Allah ﷺ became old and his voice became weak, he said, "Let us not have a pulpit that you have to carry or assemble or a word that strains your bones for me. Instead, make for me two or three steps to sit on." So the Prophet ﷺ ascended the pulpit and leaned against a trunk that was in the mosque. Whenever the messenger of Allah ﷺ would deliver a sermon, he would lean against it. Then, the Prophet ﷺ descended and hugged it and said something unknown to me. Then he ascended the pulpit. The pillars of the mosque were trunks and its roofs were made of palm leaves." Al-Bukhari narrated from Abu Asim, who narrated it from Ibn Abi Rawwad, and he mentioned it.  

لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَمَّا أَسَنَّ وَثَقُلَ أَلَا نَتَّخِذُ لَكَ مِنْبَرًا تَحْمِلُ أَوْ تَجْمَعُ أَوْ كَلِمَةٌ تُشْبِهُهَا عِظَامَكَ فَاتُّخِذَ لَهُ مِرْقَاتَانِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةٌ فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ فَصَعِدَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَحَنَّ جِذْعٌ كَانَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا خَطَبَ يَسْتَنِدُ إِلَيْهِ فَنَزَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَاحْتَضَنَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ شَيْئًا لَا أَدْرِي مَا هُوَ ثُمَّ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ وَكَانَتْ أَسَاطِينُ الْمَسْجِدِ جُذُوْعًا وَسَقَائِفُهُ جَرِيدًا قَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ رَوَى أَبُو عَاصِمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي رَوَّادٍ فَذَكَرَهُ  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to give sermons leaning against a trunk. When the pulpit was built, the trunk longed for him, so he went to it and hugged it.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَخْطُبُ إِلَى جِذْعٍ فَلَمَّا اتَّخَذَ الْمِنْبَرَ حَنَّ الْجِذْعُ فَأَتَاهُ فَالْتَزَمَهُ ﷺ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to deliver two sermons on Fridays, with a sitting session in between them.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ خُطْبَتَيْنِ بَيْنَهُمَا جِلْسَةٌ  

[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ delivered it and Mu'adh bin Jabal collected it with the Muslims. Mus'ab bin Umair said: It reached us that there is no Jumu'ah (Friday prayer) except with a sermon. So whoever does not give a sermon, then he should pray four (rak'ahs).  

أَنْ يَقْدُمَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَمَّعَ بِالْمُسْلِمِينَ مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ قَالَ وَبَلَغَنَا أَنَّهُ لَا جُمُعَةَ إِلَّا بِخُطْبَةٍ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَخْطُبْ صَلَّى أَرْبَعًا  

[Machine] If the imam does not give a sermon on Friday, then he prays four units (rak'ahs) and we have been informed about that from Ata ibn Abi Rabah and others, and from Saeed ibn Jubair who said: "Friday used to be four (rak'ahs) but the sermon was made in place of the two units of prayer."  

إِذَا لَمْ يَخْطُبِ الْإِمَامُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ صَلَّى أَرْبَعًا وَرُوِّينَا ذَلِكَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ وَغَيْرِهِ وَعَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ كَانَتِ الْجُمُعَةُ أَرْبَعًا فَجُعِلَتِ الْخُطْبَةُ مَكَانَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ  

[Machine] "And when they see some merchandise or some amusement, they disperse to it and leave you standing." [Surah Al-Jumu'ah: 11]  

اللهُ ﷻ {وَإِذَا رَأَوْا تِجَارَةً أَوْ لَهْوًا انْفَضُّوا إِلَيْهَا وَتَرَكُوكَ قَائِمًا} [الجمعة 11]  

Jabir b. Abdullah reported that the Apostle ﷺ was delivering the sermon on Friday in a standing posture when a caravan from Syria arrived. The people flocked towards it till no one was left (with the Holy Prophet) but twelve persons, and it was on this occasion that this verse in regard to Jumu'a was revealed." And when they see merchandise or sport. they break away to it and leave thee standing." (Using translation from Muslim 863a)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَائِمًا فَجَاءَتْ عِيرٌ مِنَ الشَّامِ فَانْتَقَلَ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهَا حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ مَعَهُ إِلَّا اثْنَا عَشَرَ رَجُلًا فَأُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ الَّتِي فِي الْجُمُعَةِ {وَإِذَا رَأَوْا تِجَارَةً أَوْ لَهْوًا انْفَضُّوا إِلَيْهَا وَتَرَكُوكَ قَائِمًا} [الجمعة 11]  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to deliver the sermon standing, then he would sit down, then stand and preach standing. If anyone tells you he preached sitting, he is lying. I swear by Allah that I offered along with more than two thousand prayers. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1093)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَخْطُبُ قَائِمًا ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَخْطُبُ قَائِمًا فَمَنْ نَبَّأَكَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَخْطُبُ جَالِسًا فَقَدْ كَذَبَ فَقَدْ وَاللهِ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَلْفَيْ صَلَاةٍ  

[Machine] He only sat down due to weakness, old age, or illness, and Allah knows best.  

أَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا كَانَ قَعَدَ لِضَعْفٍ لِكِبَرٍ أَوْ مَرَضٍ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to deliver the Friday sermon while standing, then he would sit down, then he would stand up and deliver the sermon as they do today.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَائِمًا ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَخْطُبُ كَمَا يَفْعَلُونَ الْيَوْمَ  

[Machine] He informed him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to deliver two sermons on Friday, sitting between them and delivering them while standing.  

أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ خُطْبَتَيْنِ يَجْلِسُ بَيْنَهُمَا وَيَخْطُبُهُمَا وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ  

Once the Prophet ﷺ sat on a pulpit and we sat around him. Then he said, "The things I am afraid of most for your sake (concerning what will befall you after me) is the pleasures and splendors of the world and its beauties which will be disclosed to you." Somebody said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Can the good bring forth evil?" The Prophet ﷺ remained silent for a while. It was said to that person, "What is wrong with you? You are talking to the Prophet ﷺ while he is not talking to you." Then we noticed that he was being inspired divinely. Then the Prophet ﷺ wiped off his sweat and said, "Where is the questioner?" It seemed as if the Prophet ﷺ liked his question. Then he said, "Good never brings forth evil. Indeed it is like what grows on the banks of a water-stream which either kill or make the animals sick, except if an animal eats its fill the Khadira (a kind of vegetable) and then faces the sun, and then defecates and urinates and grazes again. No doubt this wealth is sweet and green. Blessed is the wealth of a Muslim from which he gives to the poor, the orphans and to needy travelers. (Or the Prophet said something similar to it) No doubt, whoever takes it illegally will be like the one who eats but is never satisfied, and his wealth will be a witness against him on the Day of Resurrection." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1465)   

جَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَجَلَسْنَا حَوْلَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ بَعْدِي مَا يُفْتَحُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ زَهْرَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتِهَا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَوَيَأْتِي الْخَيْرُ بِالشَّرِّ؟ فَسَكَتَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ مَا شَأْنُكَ تُكَلِّمُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَلَا يُكَلِّمُكَ؟ وَرَأَيْنَا أَنَّهُ يَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَفَاقَ يَمْسَحُ عَنْهُ الرُّحَضَاءَ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ؟ وَكَأَنَّهُ حَمِدَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ لَا يَأْتِي الْخَيْرُ بِالشَّرِّ وَإِنَّ مِمَّا يُنْبِتُ الرَّبِيعُ مَا يَقْتُلُ أَوْ يُلِمُّ إِلَّا آكِلَةَ الْخَضِرِ فَإِنَّهَا أَكَلَتْ حَتَّى إِذَا امْتَلَأَتْ خَاصِرَتُهَا ثُمَّ اسْتَقْبَلَتْ عَيْنَ الشَّمْسِ فَبَالَتْ وَثَلَطَتْ وَأَرْتَعَتْ وَإِنَّ هَذَا الْمَالَ خَضِرٌ حُلْوٌ وَنِعْمَ مَالُ الْمُسْلِمِ هُوَ لِمَنْ أَعْطَى مِنْهُ الْمِسْكِينَ وَالْيَتِيمَ وَابْنَ السَّبِيلِ أَوْ كَالَّذِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَأْخُذُهُ بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهِ كَانَ كَالَّذِي يَأْكُلُ وَلَا يَشْبَعُ وَيَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ شَهِيدًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحَيْنِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ هِشَامٍ الدُّسْتُوَائِيِّ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to face us with his face when he ascended the pulpit or when he sat on the pulpit.  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ أَوْ قَالَ قَعَدَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ اسْتَقْبَلْنَاهُ بِوُجُوهِنَا  

[Machine] I saw the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ doing it. The sheikh said, "And likewise..."  

رَأَيْتُ أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَفْعَلُونَهُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to be greeted with their faces when he began his sermon until he finished it.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَخَذَ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ اسْتَقْبَلُوهُ بِوُجُوهِهِمْ حَتَّى يَفْرَغَ مِنْهَا  

[Machine] Abu Al-Juwairiyah said, "I saw Anas ibn Malik, the servant of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , when the imam starts his sermon on Friday, he faces him with his face until the imam finishes his sermon."  

قَالَ أَبُو الْجُوَيْرِيَةِ رَأَيْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ خَادِمَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَخَذَ الْإِمَامُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي الْخُطْبَةِ يَسْتَقْبِلُهُ بِوَجْهِهِ حَتَّى يَفْرَغَ الْإِمَامُ مِنْ خُطْبَتِهِ  

[Machine] When the imam sits on the pulpit on Friday, the people all turn towards him with their faces.  

السُّنَّةُ إِذَا قَعَدَ الْإِمَامُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ يُقْبِلُ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْمُ بِوُجُوهِهِمْ جَمِيعًا  

[Machine] "That Ibn Umar used to complete his prayer on Friday before the Imam would come out. And when the Imam came out, he would not sit down until he faced him."  

أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ يَفْرَغُ مِنْ سُبْحَتِهِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَبْلَ خُرُوجِ الْإِمَامِ فَإِذَا خَرَجَ لَمْ يَقْعُدِ الْإِمَامُ حَتَّى يَسْتَقْبِلَهُ  

[Machine] Our conversation was interrupted and none of us spoke until the imam finished his sermon.  

حَدِيثُنَا فَصَمَتْنَا فَلَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ الْإِمَامُ خُطْبَتَهُ  

[Machine] Umar said: The prayer of the Eid al-Adha consists of two units, and the prayer of the Eid al-Fitr consists of two units, and the prayer of Friday consists of two units, and the prayer of a traveler consists of two units, complete and not shortened. Ath-Thawri narrated it from Zubaid, but he did not mention Ka'b ibn 'Ujrah in its chain except that he raised it at the end.  

قَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ صَلَاةُ الْأَضْحَى رَكْعَتَانِ وَصَلَاةُ الْفِطْرِ رَكْعَتَانِ وَصَلَاةُ الْجُمُعَةِ رَكْعَتَانِ وَصَلَاةُ الْمُسَافِرِ رَكْعَتَانِ تَمَامٌ غَيْرُ قَصْرٍ وَرَوَاهُ الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْ زُبَيْدٍ فَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ كَعْبَ بْنَ عُجْرَةَ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ رَفَعَهُ بِآخِرِهِ  

[Machine] The Friday prayer consists of two units, the Eid prayer consists of two units, and the traveler's prayer consists of two units, which are complete and not shortened, according to the saying of your Prophet ﷺ , narrated by Yahya al-Qattan from Sufyan from Zubaid from Ibn Abi Layla from Al-Thaqafi from Umar.  

صَلَاةُ الْجُمُعَةِ رَكْعَتَانِ وَصَلَاةُ الْأَضْحَى رَكْعَتَانِ وَصَلَاةُ الْمُسَافِرِ رَكْعَتَانِ تَمَامٌ غَيْرُ قَصْرٍ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ وَرَوَاهُ يَحْيَى الْقَطَّانُ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ زُبَيْدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لِيَلِي عَنِ الثِّقَةِ عَنْ عُمَرَ  

[Machine] Ubaidullah, when Abu Hurairah finished, I walked up to him and said, "I have read two Surahs that I heard Ali ibn Abi Talib recite in prayer." Abu Hurairah replied, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recite them."  

عُبَيْدُ اللهِ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ مَشَيْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ لَقَدْ قَرَأْتَ بِسُورَتَيْنِ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ يَقْرَأُ بِهِمَا فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ بِهِمَا  

[Machine] Marwan appointed Abu Hurairah as the governor of Madinah and he went to Makkah. Abu Hurairah led us in Friday prayer and recited Surah Al-Jumu'ah in the first and last rak'ah. When the hypocrites were mentioned in the second rak'ah, Ubaidullah said, "I caught up with Abu Hurairah as he was leaving, and I said to him, 'Indeed, you recited two Surahs that Ali used to recite in Kufa." Abu Hurairah said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ reciting them".  

اسْتَخْلَفَ مَرْوَانُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَخَرَجَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَصَلَّى بِنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ الْجُمُعَةَ فَقَرَأَ بِسُورَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ إِذَا جَاءَكَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللهِ فَأَدْرَكْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ حِينَ انْصَرَفَ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّكَ قَرَأْتَ بِسُورَتَيْنِ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ يَقْرَأُ بِهِمَا بِالْكُوفَةِ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ بِهِمَا
