2537. It was narrated from Abû Sa'eed that a man entered the Masjid on a Friday when the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was delivering the Khutbah, and he said: "Pray two Rak'ahs." Then he came on the following Friday, when the Prophet ﷺ was delivering the Khutbah and he said: "Pray two Rak'ahs." Then he came on the third Friday, when the Prophet ﷺ was delivering Khutbah and he said: "Pray two Rak'ahs." Then he said: "Give in charity." So they gave in charity, and he gave him (that man) two garments. Then he said: "Give in charity" and (that man) threw one of his two garments. The Messenger of Allâh
ﷺ said: "Have you not seen this man? He entered the Masjid in scruffy clothes and I hoped that you would notice him, and give charity to him, but you did not do that, so I said, 'Give in charity.' You gave in charity, and I gave him two garments, then I said: 'Give in charity' and he threw one of his two garments. Take your garment." And he rebuked him. (Hasan)

Commentary
"Pray two Rak'ahs": the Prophet's ﷺ commanding him on every Friday to offer two units of prayer is the proof that the person who arrives while the Khutbah or the sermon is being delivered, he should indispensably offer two Rak'ahs. It cannot be rejected by stating that Allâh's Messenger ﷺ had commanded him to perform the prayer so that the worshippers might view his plight and offer charities.
