1112. It was narrated that Jâbir bin 'Abdullâh said: "Sulaik Ghatafâni entered the mosque when the Prophet ﷺ was delivering the sermon. He said: 'Have you prayed?' He said, 'No.' He said: 'Then perform two Rak'ah.'" (Sahih) As for 'Amr (one of the narrator's of the Hadith), he did not mention Sulaik.

Arabic text

1112 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، سَمِعَ جَابِرًا، وَأَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: دَخَلَ سُلَيْكٌ الْغَطَفَانِيُّ الْمَسْجِدَ وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ، فَقَالَ: «أَصَلَّيْتَ» قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ «فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ» ، وَأَمَّا عَمْرٌو فَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ سُلَيْكًا

Commentary

a. We learn from the Hadith that even the person who enters the mosque during the sermon should perform two Rak'ah before he sits down. b. These two Rak'ah serve the dual purpose of being Tahnyatul-Masjid as well as Sunnah before Friday prayer. Performing more than two Rak'ah on this occasion is not allowed. One can, however, perform as many Rak'ah as one desires in a cycle of two each, before the start of the sermon. (Sahih Al-Bukhârī: 883).
