Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَخْطُبُ قَائِمًا ثُمَّ يَقْعُدُ قَعْدَةً لاَ يَتَكَلَّمُ فِيهَا ثُمَّ قَامَ فَخَطَبَ خُطْبَةً أُخْرَى فَمَنْ خَبَّرَكَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم خَطَبَ قَاعِدًا فَلاَ تُصَدِّقْهُ ‏.‏

Translation

Qutaybah narrated to us; he said: Abu ‘Awanah narrated to us, from Simak, from Jabir ibn Samurah, who said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delivering the sermon while standing. Then he sat for a brief pause without speaking, then stood and delivered another sermon. Whoever tells you that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered the sermon seated, do not believe him.
