أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ سِمَاکٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ کَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ قَائِمًا ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ وَيَقْرَأُ آيَاتٍ وَيَذْکُرُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَکَانَتْ خُطْبَتُهُ قَصْدًا وَصَلَاتُهُ قَصْدًا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1423
It was narrated that Jabir bin Samurah said: “The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم used to deliver the Khutbah standing, then he would sit, then he would stand up and recite some Verses and remember Allah, the Mighty and Sublime. His Khutbah was moderate in length and his prayer was moderate in length.” (Sahih).
