Arabic text

1573 - أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ أَخِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي كَاهِلٍ الْأَحْمَسِيِّ قَالَ: «رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ، وَحَبَشِيٌّ آخِذٌ بِخِطَامِ النَّاقَةِ»

Commentary

If worshippers are in their multitudes and the voice does not reach everyone, or if the Khatīb is not discernible, the sermon could be delivered mounted on an animal, or from an elevated platform. However, carrying the Minbar to the site of the prayer is not appropriate.
