1401. ‘Amr bin Dînâr narrated that he heard Jâbir bin ‘Abdullâh say: “A man came when the Prophet ﷺ was on the Minbar on a Friday. He said to him: ‘Have you prayed two Rak’ahs?’ He said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Pray.’” (Sahih)

Arabic text

1400 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، وَيُوسُفُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَرَكَعْتَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ؟»، قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: «فَارْكَعْ»

Commentary

In other narrations, there is distinct clarification that the Prophet ﷺ had been delivering the sermon. Therefore, the viewpoint of the Hanafites that the Prophet ﷺ had not yet commenced the sermon proves the ignorance of Ahâdith or reports. Even so, Sahih Muslim has recorded a pronounced narration, which states the Prophet ﷺ as saying, “When any one of you comes and the Imâm is delivering the Khutbah then he should pray two Rak’ahs and be swift about them.” (Sahih Muslim, Al-Jumu'ah, Hadîth 875). This eliminates the possibility of every sort of interpretation. Therefore, it is incumbent upon the person who enters to perform two Rak’ahs before sitting down. (For more details, see Hadîth 1396).
