Jabir b. Abdullah reported: While the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was delivering (a sermon) on Friday, a caravan of merchandise came to Medina. The Companions of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) rushed towards it till only twelve persons were left with him including Abu Bakr and ‘Umar; and it was at this occasion that this verse was revealed.” And when they see merchandise or sport, they break away to it.”

Ka’b b. ‘Ujra reported that he entered the mosque and saw Abd al-Rahman b. Umm Hakam delivering the sermon in a sitting posture. Upon this he said: Look at this wretched person; he delivers the sermon while sitting, whereas Allah said:” And when they see merchandise or sport, they break away to it and leave thee standing.”

Abdullah b. Umar and Abu Huraira said that they heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) say on the planks of his pulpit: People must cease to neglect the Friday prayer or Allah will seal their hearts and then they will be among the negligent.

Jabir b. Samura reported: I used to pray with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and both his prayer and sermon were of moderate length.

Jabir b. Samura reported: I used to observe prayer with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and his prayer was of moderate length and his sermon too was of moderate length.

Jabir b. ‘Abdullah reported: We used to observe (Jumu’a) prayer with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and then we returned and gave rest to our camels used for carrying water. Hassan[ (one of the narrators) said: I asked Ja’far what time that was. He said.. It is the time when the sun passes the meridian.

Jabir b. Abdullah said: When Allah’s Messenger (may peace he upon him) delivered the sermon, his eyes became red, his voice rose, and his anger increased so that he was like one giving a warning against the enemy and saying: “The enemy has made a morning attack on you and in the evening too.” He would also say: “The Last Hour and I have been sent like these two.” And he would join his forefinger and middle finger; and would further say: “The best of the speech is embodied in the Book of Allah, and the best of the guidance is the guidance given by Muhammad. And the most evil affairs are their innovations; and every innovation is error.” He would further say:, I am more dear to a Muslim even than his self; and he who left behind property that is for his family; and he who dies under debt or leaves children (in helplessness), the responsibility (of paying his debt and bringing up his children) lies on me.”

Ja’far reported on the authority of his father: that he asked Jabir b. ‘Abdullah when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observed Jumu’a prayer. He said: He used to observe prayer, and we then went (back) to our camels and gave them rest. ‘Abdullah made this addition in his narration: “Till the sun passed the meridian. and the camels used for carrying water (took rest).”

Ja’far b. Muhammad said on the authority of his father: I heard Jabir b. ‘Abdullah saying that in the sermon of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) he praised Allah, lauded Him (and subsequently said [other words] and raised his voice, and the rest of the hadith is the same).

Sahl b. Said said: We did not have a siesta or lunch till after the Friday prayer. (Ibn Hajr added: ) “During the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).”
