[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to deliver his sermons while sitting on the pulpit. Someone denied this, but I bear witness that I saw him delivering his sermon while standing, then he would sit, then stand again and deliver another sermon. I asked, "How was his sermon?" He said, "He would speak words that would admonish the people and recite verses from the Book of Allah. Then he would descend. His sermon was concise, and his prayer was towards the sun when it had passed its zenith, towards the sky, and towards the morning and evening stars, except for the Fajr (dawn) prayer and the Dhuhr (noon) prayer. Bilal would call the prayer when the sun declined. If the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived, he would stand up, and if not, he would remain silent until he came out. As for the Asr (afternoon) prayer, it was performed similar to how you perform it, and the Maghrib (evening) prayer was performed similar to how you perform it. He would delay the Isha (night) prayer a little for your sake."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَخْطُبُ جَالِسًا عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَكَذِّبْهُ فَأَنَا شَهِدْتُهُ «كَانَ يَخْطُبُ قَائِمًا ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَخْطُبُ خُطْبَةً أُخْرَى» قَالَ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ كَانَتْ خُطْبَتُهُ؟ قَالَ «كَلَامٌ يَعِظُ بِهِ النَّاسَ وَيَقْرَأُ آيَاتٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ يَنْزِلُ وَكَانَتْ قَصْدًا يَعْنِي خُطْبَتَهُ وَكَانَتْ صَلَاتُهُ قَصْدًا بِنَحْوِ الشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ إِلَّا صَلَاةَ الْغَدَاةِ وَصَلَاةَ الظُّهْرِ كَانَ يُؤَذِّنُ بِلَالٌ حَيْثُ تَدْحَضُ الشَّمْسُ فَإِنْ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَقَامَ وَإِلَّا سَكَتَ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ وَالْعَصْرُ نَحْوًا مِمَّا تُصَلُّونَ وَالْمَغْرِبُ نَحْوًا مِمَّا تُصَلُّونَ وَالْعِشَاءُ الْآخِرَةُ يُؤَخِّرُهَا عَنْ صَلَاتِكُمْ قَلِيلًا»
