حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ کَعْبٍ الْأَنْطَاکِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ عَطَائٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ لَمَّا اسْتَوَی رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَالَ اجْلِسُوا فَسَمِعَ ذَلِکَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَجَلَسَ عَلَی بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَرَآهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ تَعَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد هَذَا يُعْرَفُ مُرْسَلًا إِنَّمَا رَوَاهُ النَّاسُ عَنْ عَطَائٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَخْلَدٌ هُوَ شَيْخٌ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1091
Jabir said: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seated himself on the pulpit on a Friday he said, Sit down. Ibn Masud heard that and sat down at the door of mosque, and when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw him, he said: Come here, Abdullah bin Masud. Abu Dawud said: This tradition is known as mursal (the successor reports directly from the Prophet, omitting then name of the Companion). The people narrated it from the Prophet ﷺ on the authority of Ata. Makhlad is his teacher.
