Evidence that praising Allah is a condition for the validity of the two Friday sermons?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : What is the evidence?

Answer : The evidence is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Every important matter which is not begun by an expression of praise to Allah is maimed.كل أمر لا يبدأ فيه بالحمد لله فهو أبتر
Sunan Abi Dawud 4840Da'if (Al-Albani)
This is one of the wordings of the hadith. The "abtar" (cut off) is the one lacking in blessing; it is cut off, containing no good or blessing. Now, among the evidence for this is also the hadith of Jabir in Sahih Muslim: "When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered the sermon, he would praise Allah and extol Him." As you know, this is evidence. A person may not be able to assert with certainty that the sermon is invalid if it lacks this, if it lacks the praise, but in any case, there is no doubt that it is better and more excellent.
