I came to the Prophet ﷺ when he was delivering the sermon, and I said: Messenger of Allah, here is a stranger and he wants to learn about this religion and he does not know what this religion is. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at me and left his sermon till he came to me, and he was given a chair and I thought that Its legs were made of iron. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat In it and he began to teach me what Allah had taught him. He then came (to the pulpit) for his sermon and completed it to the end.  

أَبُو رِفَاعَةَ انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَجُلٌ غَرِيبٌ جَاءَ يَسْأَلُ عَنْ دِينِهِ لاَ يَدْرِي مَا دِينُهُ قَالَ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَتَرَكَ خُطْبَتَهُ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَىَّ فَأُتِيَ بِكُرْسِيٍّ حَسِبْتُ قَوَائِمَهُ حَدِيدًا قَالَ فَقَعَدَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَجَعَلَ يُعَلِّمُنِي مِمَّا عَلَّمَهُ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ أَتَى خُطْبَتَهُ فَأَتَمَّ آخِرَهَا  

"Abu Rifa'ah said: 'I came to the Messenger of Allah [SAW] while he was delivering a Khutbah, and said: "O Messenger of Allah, a stranger has come to ask about his religion, for he does not know what his religion is." The Messenger of Allah [SAW] stopped delivering his Khutbah and turned to me. A chair was brought, and I think its legs were of iron. The Messenger of Allah [SAW] sat down on it and started to teach me what Allah has taught him, then he went and completed his Khutbah.'"

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was delivering a sermon. I said, "A stranger has come to ask about his religion, but he does not know what his religion is." So the Prophet ﷺ turned towards me and left his sermon. Then a seat made of palm leaves with iron legs was brought, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat on it. Then he came to me and taught me what Allah had taught him. Afterwards, he returned to his sermon and completed it.  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ فَقُلْتُ رَجُلٌ غَرِيبٌ جَاءَ يَسْأَلُ عَنْ دِينِهِ لَا يَدْرِي مَا دِينُهُ قَالَ فَأَقْبَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَتَرَكَ خُطْبَتَهُ ثُمَّ أُتِي بِكُرْسِيٍّ خَلِبٍ قَوَائِمُهُ حَدِيدٌ فَقَعَدَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ يُعَلِّمُنِي مِمَّا عِلَّمَهُ اللهُ ثُمَّ أَتَى خُطْبَتَهُ فَأَتَمَّ آخِرَهَا

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was giving a sermon. I said, "O Messenger of Allah! There is a stranger who has come to ask about his religion, but he does not know what his religion is." So, the Prophet ﷺ turned towards me and left his sermon. A chair made of iron was brought, and he started teaching me from what Allah had taught him. Then, he returned to his sermon and completed it. 5818. Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us, Ibrahim ibn Ismail al-Qari' narrated to us, Al-Hasan ibn Sufyan ibn Bayyaanaboor narrated to us, Shayban ibn Farrookh narrated to us, Sulaiman ibn al-Mughirah mentioned it in its meaning.
