Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ جَابِرًا أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَخْطُبُ قَائِمًا قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَخْطُبُ قَائِمًا ثُمَّ يَقْعُدُ قَعْدَةً ثُمَّ يَقُومُ .
Translation
Isma‘il ibn Mas‘ud narrated to us; he said: Khalid narrated to us; he said: Shu‘bah narrated to us, from Simak, who said: I asked Jabir, “Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) deliver the sermon standing?” He replied: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would deliver the sermon standing, then sit for a while, then stand again.”
