We were sitting at the door of Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) waiting for him (to come out and deliver a sermon to us). It was at this time that there happened to pass by us Yazid b. Mu'awiya an-Nakha'i. We said: Inform him ('Abdullah b. Mas'ud) of our presence here. He went in and Abdullah b. Mas'ud lost no time in coming out to us and said: I was informed of your presence here but nothing hindered me to come out to you but the fact that I did not like to bore you (by stuffing your minds with sermons) as Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not deliver us sermon on certain days fearing that it might prove to be boring for us. (Using translation from Muslim 2821a)
إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ «يَتَخَوَّلُنَا بِالْمَوْعِظَةِ بَيْنَ الْأَيَّامِ مَخَافَةَ السَّآمَةِ عَلَيْنَا»
