[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to recite Surah Al-Jumu'ah and Surah Al-Munafiqun on Fridays, and he would recite Surah At-Tanzil in the Fajr prayer on the day of Friday.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ سُورَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَالْمُنَافِقِينَ وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ الم تَنْزِيلُ وَهَلْ أَتَى  

What did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited on Friday after reciting the Surah al-Jumu'ah (62). He replied: He used to recite, "Had the story of overwhelming event reached you ?" (88). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1123)   

أَنَّ الضَّحَّاكَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ سَأَلَ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ مَاذَا كَانَ يَقْرَأُ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ عَلَى أَثَرِ سُورَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ؟ قَالَ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ بِ هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ  

" Has there reached..." (Surah lxxxviii, ). (Using translation from Muslim 878c)   

كَتَبَ الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ إِلَى النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ يَسْأَلُهُ أِيُّ شَيْءٍ قَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ سِوَى سُورَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ؟ فَقَالَ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ هَلْ أَتَاكَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite on Fridays the Surah of Sabbihisma Rabbikal A'la and Al-Ghashiyah. And when the day of Friday and the day of Eid coincided, he would recite them both on that Friday and Eid.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ بِ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى وَهَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ وَإِذَا اجْتَمَعَ الْجُمُعَةُ وَالْعِيدُ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ قَرَأَ بِهِمَا جَمِيعًا فِي الْجُمُعَةِ وَالْعِيدِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite in the Friday prayer: "Glorify the name of your most high Lord" (Surah 87) and Has the story of the overwhelming event reached you? (Surah 88). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1125)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي صَلَاةِ الْجُمُعَةِ بِ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى وَهَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ  

[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to recite on the day of Friday in the Fajr prayer the chapter "Alif Lam Meem Tanzeel" and the chapter "Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you, and in Friday prayers the chapter Al-Jumu'ah and the chapter Al-Munafiqoon".  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ الم تَنْزِيلُ السَّجْدَةَ وَهَلْ أَتَى عَلَى الْإِنْسَانِ وَفِي الْجُمُعَةِ سُورَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَالْمُنَافِقِينَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite in the Fajr prayer on Friday the revelation of Sajda (Surah Al-Sajda) and has there come to the human being...  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي الصُّبْحِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ بِتَنْزِيلِ السَّجْدَةِ وَهَلْ أَتَى عَلَى الْإِنْسَانِ  

The Prophet ﷺ used to recite the following in the Fajr prayer of Friday, "Alif, Lam, Mim, Tanzil" (Suratas- Sajda #32) and "Hal-ata-ala-l-Insani" (i.e. Surah-Ad-Dahr #76). (Using translation from Bukhārī 891)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ الم تَنْزِيلُ السَّجْدَةَ وَهَلْ أَتَى عَلَى الْإِنْسَانِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite in the Maghrib prayer of Friday night "Say: O disbelievers" and "Say: He is Allah, the One". And he used to recite in the Isha prayer of the last part of Friday night the Surah Al-Jumu'ah and Al-Munafiqun.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَقُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ سُورَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَالْمُنَافِقِينَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever catches a unit of prayer has indeed caught the prayer." In another narration by Al-Qa'nabi from Malik, and a narration by Sufyan, "Whoever catches a unit of prayer has indeed caught the prayer."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ رَكْعَةً فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ الْقَعْنَبِيِّ عَنْ مَالِكٍ وَرِوَايَةِ سُفْيَانَ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ رَكْعَةً مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ  

If anyone obtains a rak'ah in the prayer (along with the imam), he has obtained the whole prayer. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1121)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ رَكْعَةً فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَهَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever catches one unit (rak'ah) of the prayer with the imam has indeed caught the whole prayer."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ رَكْعَةً مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ  

[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "Whoever catches a unit of prayer has indeed caught it." Al-Zuhri said, "This is the correct narration and it is narrated by the congregation from Al-Zuhri. In the narration of Ma'mar, it indicates that the wording of the hadith regarding prayer is absolute, and in its general sense, it includes the Friday prayer as it includes other prayers. Usamah bin Zaid narrated the hadith from Al-Zuhri specifically regarding the Friday prayer."  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ رَكْعَةً مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَهَا قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ وَالْجُمُعَةُ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ هَذَا هُوَ الصَّحِيحُ وَهُوَ رِوَايَةُ الْجَمَاعَةِ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ مَعْمَرٍ دَلَالَةٌ عَلَى أَنَّ لَفْظَ الْحَدِيثِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ مُطْلَقٌ وَإِنَّهَا بِعُمُومِهَا تَتَنَاوَلُ الْجُمُعَةَ كَمَا تَتَنَاوَلُ غَيْرَهَا مِنَ الصَّلَوَاتِ وَقَدْ رَوَى أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ الْحَدِيثَ فِيَ الْجُمُعَةِ نَصًّا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever catches a rak'ah (unit of prayer) of the Friday prayer, let him pray another one." It has also been narrated from Salih bin Abi Al-Akhdar from Az-Zuhri.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ مِنَ الْجُمُعَةِ رَكْعَةً فَلْيُصَلِّ إِلَيْهَا أُخْرَى وَكَذَلِكَ رُوِيَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ أَبِي الْأَخْضَرِ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever catches a rakah from Jumu'ah prayer, let him pray another rakah with it. If he catches them sitting, let him pray four. It is narrated from another perspective other than that of Al-Zuhri, which we have mentioned in the difference of opinion. It is also narrated from Abu Salih from Abu Hurairah, in a statement attributed to him."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ مِنَ الْجُمُعَةِ رَكْعَةً فَلْيُصَلِّ إِلَيْهَا أُخْرَى فَإِنْ أَدْرَكَهُمْ جُلُوسًا صَلَّى أَرْبَعًا وَرُوِيَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَوْجُهٍ أُخَرَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَدْ ذَكَرْنَاهَا فِي الْخِلَافِ وَرُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ مَوْقُوفًا عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] He spends what he has missed.  

أَنَّهُ يَقْضِي مَا فَاتَهُ  

[Machine] If you catch the Friday prayer with one unit, then add another to it, and if you catch them sitting, then pray four followed by Ayoub from Nafi.  

إِذَا أَدْرَكْتَ مِنَ الْجُمُعَةِ رَكْعَةً فَأَضِفْ إِلَيْهَا أُخْرَى وَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتَهُمْ جُلُوسًا فَصَلِّ أَرْبَعًا تَابَعَهُ أَيُّوبُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ  

[Machine] If you catch one unit of Friday prayer, then add another to it. But if you miss the bowing, then perform four units of prayer.  

إِذَا أَدْرَكْتَ رَكْعَةً مِنَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَأَضِفْ إِلَيْهَا أُخْرَى فَإِذَا فَاتَكَ الرُّكُوعُ فَصَلِّ أَرْبَعًا  

[Machine] About Zakariyya and those who managed to catch up with the people while they were sitting, he prayed four units (rak'ahs). Al-A'mash narrated it from Abu Ishaq. Then, if you miss the rukoo' (bowing), pray four units (rak'ahs) and Hubayrah was not mentioned in the chain of narrators.  

عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا وَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ الْقَوْمَ جُلُوسًا صَلَّى أَرْبَعًا وَرَوَاهُ الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ فَإِذَا فَاتَكَ الرُّكُوعُ فَصَلِّ أَرْبَعًا وَلَمْ يَذْكُرَا هُبَيْرَةَ فِي الْإِسْنَادِ  

It was narrated from Jabir that whenever the Prophet ﷺ ascended the pulpit he would greet (the people with Salam). (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1109)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ سَلَّمَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to greet those who were sitting near him when he approached his pulpit on Fridays. Then, when he ascended the pulpit, he faced the people and greeted them. Abu Bakr ibn al-Harith al-Faqih narrated to us that Abu Muhammad ibn Hayyan narrated to us that Ibn Abi 'Asim narrated to us that 'Amr ibn 'Uthman narrated to us that Al-Walid ibn Muslim narrated to us from a man who heard it from Nafi'. He mentioned it in essence, except that he said, "When he ascended the pulpit, he greeted the people before sitting down." 'Isa ibn 'Abdullah ibn al-Hakam ibn Nu'man ibn Bashir Abu Musa al-Ansari alone mentioned it. Abu Sa'id said, "Abu Ahmad ibn 'Adi generalizes what he narrates and does not verify it." The Shaykh said, "It is narrated from Ibn 'Abbas and Ibn Zubair, then from 'Umar ibn 'Abdul Aziz."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا دَنَا مِنَ مِنْبَرِهِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ سَلَّمَ عَلَى مَنْ عِنْدَهُ مِنَ الْجُلُوسِ فَإِذَا صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ اسْتَقْبَلَ النَّاسَ بِوَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ 5743 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْفَقِيهُ أنبأ أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ حَيَّانَ أنبأ ابْنُ أَبِي عَاصِمٍ ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ ثنا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ فَذَكَرَهُ بِمَعْنَاهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَإِذَا رَقَى الْمِنْبَرَ سَلَّمَ عَلَى النَّاسِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ عِيسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ أَبُو مُوسَى الْأَنْصَارِيُّ قَالَ أَبُو سَعْدٍ قَالَ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ عَامَّةُ مَا يَرْوِيهِ لَا يُتَابَعُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَرُوِيَ فِي ذَلِكَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ثُمَّ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ  

[Machine] On the first day of Friday, it was the first time that the Imam sat on the pulpit during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , as well as during the time of Abu Bakr and Umar. When it was during the caliphate of Uthman and the number of people increased, he ordered the third adhan to be called and it was called in Al-Zawraa. The matter remained steadfast on that in 5745. Abu Amr Al-Adibi informed us that Abu Bakr Al-Ismaili informed us that Al-Hassan ibn Sufyan told us that Habban narrated from Ibn Al-Mubarak, from Yunus, who mentioned it in a similar manner except that he said, "Indeed, the adhan on Friday used to start when the Imam sat on the pulpit on Friday. Uthman ordered the third adhan on Friday, and the rest is the same."  

الْأَوَّلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ كَانَ أَوَّلَ حِينَ يَجْلِسُ الْإِمَامُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَعَهْدِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي خِلَافَةِ عُثْمَانَ ؓ وَكَثُرَ النَّاسُ أَمَرَ بِالْأَذَانِ الثَّالِثِ فَأُذِّنَ بِهِ عَلَى الزَّوْرَاءِ فَثَبَتَ الْأَمْرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ 5745 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَدِيبُ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ثنا حَبَّانُ عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ يُونُسَ فَذَكَرَهُ بِمِثْلِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ الْأَذَانَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ كَانَ أَوَّلُهُ حِينَ يَجْلِسُ الْإِمَامُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَقَالَ أَمَرَ عُثْمَانُ ؓ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ بِالْأَذَانِ الثَّالِثِ وَالْبَاقِي سَوَاءٌ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to sit on the pulpit when he went out on Fridays and Bilal would call the adhan.  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا خَرَجَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَعَدَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ أَذَّنَ بِلَالٌ  

The Prophet ﷺ used to deliver two sermons. When he ascended the minbar (pulpit), he would sit until the muʾadhin finished the call to prayer. Then he would stand and deliver the sermon. Afterward, he would sit and remain silent for a while, and then stand again and deliver the second sermon.

It has been narrated to us through the ḥadīth of Isḥāq b. ʿAbdullāh b. Abū Ṭalhah from Anas b. Mālik regarding the story of the pulpit. He said, "A minbar with two steps was built for him, and he would sit on the third step. When the Prophet ﷺ sat on it, the trunk of the date-palm tree moaned."  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ خُطْبَتَيْنِ كَانَ يَجْلِسُ إِذَا صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ حَتَّى يَفْرَغَ أَرَاهُ الْمُؤَذِّنُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَخْطُبُ ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ فَلَا يَتَكَلَّمُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَخْطُبُ وَرُوِّينَا فِي حَدِيثِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فِي قِصَّةِ الْمِنْبَرِ قَالَ فَصَنَعَ لَهُ مِنْبَرًا دَرَجَتَيْنِ وَيَقْعُدُ عَلَى الثَّالِثِ فَلَمَّا قَعَدَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى ذَلِكَ خَارَ الْجِذْعُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ ascended the pulpit on Friday and said to the people, "Sit down." Ibn Mas'ud heard this while he was at the gate of the mosque, so he sat down. The Prophet ﷺ then said to him, "Come, O Ibn Mas'ud, and listen to what I am saying."  

اسْتَوَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ لِلنَّاسِ اجْلِسُوا فَسَمِعَهُ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَهُوَ عَلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَجَلَسَ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ تَعَالَ يَا ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ كَذَا قَالَ  

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ascended the pulpit on Friday, he said, "Sit down." Ibn Mas'ood heard this and sat by the door of the mosque. The Prophet ﷺ saw him and said, "Come here, O Abdullah bin Mas'ood." Likewise, it has been narrated from Mu'adh bin Mu'adh, Ibn Juraij, and it was also said by 'Ata. The Prophet ﷺ saw Ibn Mas'ood leaving the mosque while he was delivering the sermon and said, "Come here, O Abdullah bin Mas'ood."  

لَمَّا اسْتَوَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ قَالَ اجْلِسُوا فَسَمِعَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَجَلَسَ عَلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَرَآهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ تَعَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ وَكَذَلِكَ رُوِيَ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ وَقِيلَ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ قَالَ أَبْصَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ خَارِجًا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ فَقَالَ تَعَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ  

[Machine] Narrated by Abdullah ibn Mas'ud: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: We, a group of seven or nine, went to visit the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and sought his permission to enter. He granted us permission and we entered. We greeted him and said: O Messenger of Allah, we have come to you so that you may supplicate to Allah for us or make a good supplication for us. He supplicated for us with goodness, ordered for us to be provided with dates, and the matter was fulfilled as such. Then I stayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for some days, during which we witnessed the Friday prayer. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ascended the pulpit and leaned on a bow or a stick. He praised Allah and glorified Him with light, good, and blessed words. Then he said: O people, you are not able to do everything you have been commanded, but try to do good deeds, approach (good) deeds, and receive glad tidings. This is the way to achieve success."  

يُحَدِّثُنَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ وَفَدْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَابِعَ سَبْعَةٍ أَوْ تَاسِعَ تِسْعَةٍ فَأَذِنَ لَنَا عَلَيْهِ فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَسَلَّمْنَا فَقُلْنَا زُرْنَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لِتَدْعُوَ اللهَ لَنَا أَوْ تَدْعُوَ لَنَا بِخَيْرٍ قَالَ فَدَعَا لَنَا بِخَيْرٍ فَأَمَرَ بِنَا فَأُنْزِلْنَا وَأَمَرَ لَنَا بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ وَالشَّأْنُ إِذْ ذَاكَ دُونٌ قَالَ فَأَقَمْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَيَّامًا شَهِدْنَا فِيهَا الْجُمُعَةَ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَى قَوْسٍ أَوْ قَالَ عَلَى عَصًا فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ بِكَلِمَاتٍ خَفِيفَاتٍ طَيِّبَاتٍ مُبَارَكَاتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تُطِيقُوا أَوْ إِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَفْعَلُوا كُلَّ مَا أُمِرْتُمْ بِهِ وَلَكِنْ سَدِّدُوا وَقَارِبُوا وَأَبْشِرُوا وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] Abdulrahman ibn Saad ibn Ammar ibn Saad, the caller of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , narrated that his father told him on the authority of his forefathers that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to deliver his sermons while leaning on a bow during times of war, and while leaning on a stick during Friday sermons.  

ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَمَّارِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ مُؤَذِّنُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ آبَائِهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا خَطَبَ فِي الْحَرْبِ خَطَبَ عَلَى قَوْسٍ وَإِذَا خَطَبَ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ خَطَبَ عَلَى عَصًا  

[Machine] I said to 'Ata', "Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to stand with a staff when he delivered a sermon?" He said, "Yes, and he used to lean on it for support."  

قُلْتُ لِعَطَاءٍ أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُومُ إِذَا خَطَبَ عَلَى عَصًا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَكَانَ يَعْتَمِدُ عَلَيْهَا اعْتِمَادًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , when he would give a sermon, his eyes would turn red, his voice would become loud, and his anger would intensify, as if he was warning of an approaching army. He would say, "May the morning be pleasant for you, and may the evening be pleasant for you." He would say, "I have been sent with the Hour, like these two fingers." He would separate his index finger and middle finger. He would say, "The best of speech is the Book of Allah, and the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad. The worst of affairs are the newly invented ones, and every innovation is a misguidance." Then he would say, "I am more entitled to every believer than his own self. Whoever leaves behind wealth, it is for his family, and whoever leaves behind a debt or dependents, it is upon me."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا خَطَبَ احْمَرَّتْ عَيْنَاهُ وَعَلَا صَوْتُهُ وَاشْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ حَتَّى كَأَنَّهُ مُنْذِرُ جَيْشٍ يَقُولُ صَبَّحَكُمْ وَمَسَّاكُمْ وَيَقُولُ بُعِثْتُ أَنَا وَالسَّاعَةُ كَهَاتَيْنِ وَيَفَرُقُ بَيْنَ أُصْبُعَيْهِ السَّبَابَةِ وَالْوُسْطَى وَيَقُولُ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ الْحَدِيثِ كِتَابُ اللهِ وَخَيْرَ الْهَدْيِ هَدْيُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَشَرَّ الْأُمُورِ مُحْدَثَاتُهَا وَكُلَّ بِدْعَةٍ ضَلَالَةٌ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَنَا أَوْلَى بِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ مَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِأَهْلِهِ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْنًا أَوْ ضِيَاعًا فَإِلَيَّ وَعَلَيَّ  

[Machine] "When the Prophet ﷺ mentioned the Hour, his anger would intensify, his voice would become louder, and his cheeks would turn red as if he were a warner of an army that had attacked in the morning and reached you in the evening. Ali ibn Abadan narrated to us, Ahmad ibn Ubayd al-Saffar narrated to us, Ismail al-Qadi narrated to us, Muhammad ibn Kathir narrated to us, Sufyan mentioned it briefly."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا ذَكَرَ السَّاعَةَ اشْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ وَارْتَفَعَ صَوْتُهُ وَاحْمَرَّتْ وَجْنَتَاهُ كَأَنَّهُ نَذِيرُ جَيْشٍ صَبَّحَتْكُمْ مَسَّتْكُمْ أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدَانَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ الْقَاضِي ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ ثنا سُفْيَانُ فَذَكَرَهُ مُخْتَصَرًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave a sermon and said, "I have warned you about the fire (of Hell) to the extent that if it were within my reach now, I would make everyone in the marketplace hear it until the cloak on his shoulder falls down due to the intensity of his fear."  

خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَنْذَرْتُكُمُ النَّارَ حَتَّى لَوْ كَانَ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا لَأَسْمَعَ مَنْ فِي السُّوقِ حَتَّى خَرَّتْ خَمِيصَةٌ كَانَتْ عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , did not speak in a way similar to your speech. His words were clear and precise, and everyone who heard him remembered them.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَسْرُدُ الْكَلَامَ كَسَرْدِكُمْ هَذَا كَانَ كَلَامُهُ فَصْلًا بَيِّنًا يَحْفَظُهُ كُلُّ مَنْ سَمِعَهُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ did not recite words like your recitation. Instead, when he spoke he spoke clearly and distinctly, explaining his words for those who heard him, and it was preserved through this chain of narration.  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَا يَسْرُدُ الْكَلَامَ كَسَرْدِكُمْ هَذَا وَلَكِنْ كَانَ إِذَا تَكَلَّمَ تَكَلَّمَ فَصْلًا يُبَيِّنُهُ يَحْفَظُهُ مَنْ سَمِعَهُ 5759 وَبِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ spoke in a distinct and leisurely manner. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4838)   

سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَقُولُ كَانَ فِي كَلَامِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ تَرْتِيلٌ أَوْ تَرْسِيلٌ  

[Machine] I used to pray with the Prophet ﷺ, and his prayers were concise and his sermons were concise as well.  

كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَكَانَتْ صَلَاتُهُ قَصْدًا وَخُطْبَتُهُ قَصْدًا  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not lengthen the sermon on Friday. He would say a few words. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1107)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يُطِيلُ الْمَوْعِظَةَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِنَّمَا هِيَ كَلِمَاتٌ يَسِيرَةٌ  

'Ammar delivered to us the sermon. It was short and eloquent. When he (, Ammir) descended (from the pulpit) we said to him: 0 Abd al-Yaqzn, you have delivered a short and eloquent sermon. Would that you had lengthened (the sermon). He said: I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: The lengthening of prayer by a man and the shortness of the sermon is the sign of his understanding (of faith). So lengthen the prayer and shorten the sermon, for there is charm (in precise) expression. (Using translation from Muslim 869)   

خَطَبَنَا عَمَّارٌ ؓ فَأَبْلَغَ وَأَوْجَزَ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ قُلْنَا يَا أَبَا الْيَقْظَانِ لَقَدْ أَبَلَغْتَ وَأَوْجَزْتَ فَلَوْ كُنْتَ تَنَفَّسْتَ؟ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ طُولَ صَلَاةِ الرَّجُلِ وَقِصَرَ خُطْبَتِهِ مَئِنَّةٌ مِنْ فَقْهِهِ فَأَطِيلُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَقْصِرُوا الْخُطَبَ وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ لَسِحْرًا  

[Machine] Abdullah said, "Indeed, the length of the prayer and the shortness of the sermon are indications of a person's understanding (fIQh)."  

قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ إِنَّ طُولَ الصَّلَاةِ وَقِصَرَ الْخُطْبَةِ مَئِنَّةٌ مِنْ فِقْهِ الرَّجُلِ يَقُولُ عَلَامَةٌ  

[Machine] Lengthen this prayer and shorten this sermon, meaning the Friday prayer. And it was also narrated from another perspective by Ammar, raised briefly.  

أَطِيلُوا هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ وَأَقْصِرُوا هَذِهِ الْخُطْبَةَ يَعْنِي صَلَاةَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَرُوِيَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ مَرْفُوعًا مُخْتَصَرًا  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to shorten the speeches. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1106)   

أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِإِقْصَارِ الْخُطَبِ  

[Machine] The sermon of the Messenger of Allah on Friday praises and thanks Allah and mentions the remainder of the speech. Abu Al-Hasan ibn Abdan informed us, Anba Ahmed ibn Ubaid narrated to us, Ismail al-Qazi narrated to us, Ibn Abi Uwais and Al-Farawi said, Sulaiman ibn Bilal narrated from Ja'far, from his father, from Jabir ibn Abdullah, that he heard him say that, and he had already...  

كَانَتْ خُطْبَةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ يَحْمَدُ اللهَ وَيُثْنِي عَلَيْهِ وَذَكَرَ بَاقِيَ الْحَدِيثِ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ بْنُ عَبْدَانَ أنبا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ الْقَاضِي ثنا ابْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ وَالْفَرَوِيُّ قَالَا ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالِ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ وَقَدْ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Every matter of importance that is not begun with praise and thanks to Allah will have its support cut off." This report was narrated by Yunus ibn Yazid, 'Uqail ibn Khalid, Shu'ayb ibn Abi Hamzah, and Sa'id ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz, all from Az-Zuhri, from the Prophet ﷺ with a connected chain.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كُلُّ أَمَرٍ ذِي بَالٍ لَا يُبْدَأُ فِيهِ بِالْحَمْدِ لِلَّهِ أَقْطَعُ أَسْنَدَهُ قُرَّةُ وَرَوَاهُ يُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ وَعُقَيْلُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ وَشُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مُرْسَلًا  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Every sermon which does not contain a tashahhud is like a hand cut off. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4841)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كُلُّ خُطْبَةٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا شَهَادَةٌ كَالْيَدِ الْجَذْمَاءِ  

[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ said, "Every sermon that does not contain a testimony is like a deceitful hand." Muslim said, "Indeed, Yahya ibn Ma'in spoke about Abi Hisham in this matter."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ كُلُّ خُطْبَةٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا شَهَادَةٌ فَهِيَ كَالْيَدِ الْجَذْمَاءِ فَقَالَ مُسْلِمٌ إِنَّمَا تَكَلَّمَ يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ فِي أَبِي هِشَامٍ بِهَذَا الَّذِي  

[Machine] In his statement "{And We have raised your remembrance for you}" [Al-Sharh 4], he said, "I am not remembered except that you are remembered, I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." And it is mentioned from Muhammad ibn Ka'b Al-Quradhi similar to that.  

فِي قَوْلِهِ {وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ} [الشرح 4] قَالَ لَا أُذْكَرُ إِلَّا ذُكِرْتَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ وَيُذْكَرُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيِّ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Any people who gather and do not mention their Lord or send blessings upon their Prophet ﷺ, will be in regret on the Day of Judgment. If Allah wills, He will punish them, and if He wills, He will forgive them."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا جَلَسَ قَوْمٌ مَجْلِسًا لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا فِيهِ رَبَّهُمْ وَلَمْ يُصَلُّوا عَلَى نَبِيِّهِمْ ﷺ إِلَّا كَانَ تِرَةً عَلَيْهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنْ شَاءَ أَخَذَهُمُ اللهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ عَفَا عَنْهُمْ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to have two sermons in which he would sit between them and recite the Quran and remind the people. In the narration of Musaddad, he would recite without a "waaw" (a letter of the Arabic alphabet). Muslim narrated this in his authentic compilation from Yahya ibn Yahya and others.  

كَانَتْ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ خُطْبَتَانِ يَجْلِسُ بَيْنَهُمَا وَيَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَيُذَكِّرُ النَّاسَ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ مُسَدَّدٍ يَقْرَأُ لَيْسَ فِيهِ وَاوٌ وَرَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَحْيَى وَغَيْرِهِ  

Allah, disfigure these hands! I have seen Messenger of Allah ﷺ gesture no more than this with his hands, and he pointed with his forefinger. (Using translation from Muslim 873c)   

قَبَّحَ اللهُ هَاتَيْنِ الْيَدَيْنِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَا يَزِيدُ عَلَى أَنْ يَقُولَ بِيَدِهِ هَكَذَا وَأَشَارَ بِأُصْبُعِهِ الْمُسَبِّحَةِ  

Bishr bin Marwan raised his hands on Friday on the minbar, and 'Umarah bin Ruwaibah condemned him and said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did no more than this,' and he pointed with his forefinger. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1412)   

وَشَتَمَهُ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَا يَزِيدُ عَلَى هَذَا وَأَشَارَ بِأُصْبُعِهِ السَّبَابَةِ
