ذِكْرُ وَصَفِّ الْخُطْبَةِ الَّتِي يَخْطُبُ الْمَرْءُ عِنْدَ الْحَاجَةِ إِلَيْهَا

ibnhibban:2801Sulaymān b. al-Ḥasan al-ʿAṭṭār > ʿUbaydullāh b. Muʿādh b. Muʿādh from my father > Shuʿbah > Simāk b. Ḥarb

[Machine] I asked Jabir ibn Samurah how the Prophet ﷺ used to deliver speeches. He replied, "He ﷺ would deliver a sermon, then sit for a while, and then stand up and deliver another sermon."  

ابن حبّان:٢٨٠١أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْعَطَّارُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ قَالَ

سَأَلْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ كَيْفَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ؟ قَالَ «كَانَ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ ثُمَّ يَقْعُدُ قَعْدَةً ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَخْطُبُ»
