ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1106
It was narrated that Jabir bin Samurah said: "The Prophet P.B.U.H used to deliver the sermon standing, then he would sit down, then he would stand up and recite some Verses and remember Allah. His sermon was moderate and his prayer was moderate (i.e., neither too long nor too short)." (Sahih)
