509. 'Abdullāh bin Mas'ūd narrated: "When Allāh's Messenger ﷺ ascended the Minbar he would face our direction." (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] There is a narration about this from Ibn 'Umar.
We do not know the Hadīth of Maṣṣūr except as a narration of Muḥammad bin Al-Faḍl bin 'Aṭiyah, and Muḥammad bin Al-Faḍl bin 'Aṭiyah is weak, Our companions regarded his Aḥādīth as rejected.
This Hadīth is acted upon according to the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others, they consider it recommended for the Imām to face the people when delivering the Khuṭbah. This is the opinion of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, Ash-Shāfi'i, Ahmad, and Ishāq.
Abū 'Eisā said: There is nothing correct reported from the Prophet about this topic.

Commentary
Also it is the aim of the Friday sermon that the attendees should listen to the sermon quietly with great care, reflection and understanding. This is possible only if they pay attention to the Imām delivering the sermon. It is almost an agreed upon issue that the attendees should turn their faces to the Imām during the sermon, said Ibn Al-Mundhir.
