1106. It was narrated that Jâbir bin Samurah said: "The Prophet ﷺ used to deliver the sermon standing, then he would sit down, then he would stand up and recite some Verses and remember Allâh. His sermon was moderate and his prayer was moderate (i.e., neither too long nor too short)." (Sahih)
1106 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «يَخْطُبُ قَائِمًا، ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ، ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَقْرَأُ آيَاتٍ، وَيَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ، وَكَانَتْ خُطْبَتُهُ قَصْدًا، وَصَلَاتُهُ قَصْدًا»

The proper way to deliver a sermon is to choose some text from the Qur'an, then explain things in the light thereof. The sermon should neither be too long nor too short, but of moderate length. The prayer must not be too short. Some of the A'inna, either recite the shortest among the Surah of the Qur'an or resort to reciting just three or four Verses from a longer Surah. This is all against the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ.
