Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ زُرَيْعٍ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكٌ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَائِمًا ثُمَّ يَقْعُدُ قِعْدَةً لاَ يَتَكَلَّمُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَخْطُبُ خُطْبَةً أُخْرَى فَمَنْ حَدَّثَكُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَخْطُبُ قَاعِدًا فَقَدْ كَذَبَ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn ‘Abdullah ibn Bazi‘ informed us; he said: Yazid—meaning Ibn Zuray‘—narrated to us; he said: Isra’il narrated to us; he said: Simak narrated to us, from Jabir ibn Samurah, who said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) deliver the Friday sermon standing. Then he sat for a brief sitting without speaking, then stood and delivered another sermon. Whoever tells you that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to deliver the sermon seated has lied.
