1108. 'Alqamah narrated that 'Abdullâh was asked whether the Prophet ﷺ used to deliver the sermon standing or sitting. He said: "Have you not read the Verse: '...and leave you (Muhammad) standing (while delivering the Friday sermon)?"[1] (Da'if) Abu 'Abdullâh (Ibn Mâjah) said: (This Hadith is) Gharib (Unfamiliar); it was not narrated by anyone except Ibn Abu Shaibah.
1108 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي غَنِيَّةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ: " أَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ قَائِمًا أَوْ قَاعِدًا؟ قَالَ: أَوَمَا تَقْرَأُ: {وَتَرَكُوكَ قَائِمًا} [الجمعة: 11] ؟ " قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: غَرِيبٌ، لَا يُحَدِّثُ بِهِ إِلَّا ابْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَحْدَهُ

In his Commentary on the Qur'an, Ibn Kathir ﷺ quotes a Hadith from Abu Dâwud's Ahâdith of the category of Mursal (Hadith going back only up to the Followers instead of the Prophet ﷺ himself) to the effect that one day while the Prophet ﷺ was delivering his sermon after the prayer, somebody announced that a trader called Dihyah bin Khalifah had arrived with his merchandise. On hearing this, the people got up, leaving behind just a few with the Prophet ﷺ (See Marâsil of Abu Dâwud, H. 62) It was on this occasion that the Verse quoted in the Hadith was revealed. It can, therefore, be inferred from the Hadith, that listening to the sermon whether of 'Eid or Friday is compulsory, and it is an act of sin to leave the mosque without listening to the sermon. And Allâh knows best. We know from this, that upon ascending the pulpit, the chronology is like this: First, the Imâm shall greet the assembly (with Salâm), then the Adhân shall be called, and then the Imâm shall deliver the sermon.
