1398. It was narrated that Ka'b bin 'Ujrah said that he entered the Masjid and 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Umm Al-Ḥakam was delivering the Khuṭbah while seated. “He said: ‘Look at this man who is delivering the Khuṭbah while seated when Allāh says: And when they see some merchandise or some amusement they disperse headlong to it, and leave you standing.’”[1] (Saḥīh)

Arabic text

1397 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ، قَالَ: دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ابْنُ أُمِّ الْحَكَمِ يَخْطُبُ قَاعِدًا، فَقَالَ: " انْظُرُوا إِلَى هَذَا يَخْطُبُ قَاعِدًا، وَقَدْ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {وَإِذَا رَأَوْا تِجَارَةً أَوْ لَهْوًا انْفَضُّوا إِلَيْهَا وَتَرَكُوكَ قَائِمًا} [الجمعة: 11] "

Commentary

That is the last verse or Ayah of the Suratul Jumu'ah. It contains the description of Jumu'ah itself. Once the Prophet ﷺ was delivering the sermon; meanwhile the bells of a trading caravan began to ring. Some people slowly slid away for business. The Prophet ﷺ was delivering the sermon standing. Based upon it, it is argued that it is essential to closely follow the Sunnah. He ﷺ used to give sermons while standing.
