The ruling on leaving off the greeting of the mosque when entering during the Friday sermon

Question:
This questioner says: I entered the mosque on Friday during the Friday sermon, so I sat down, then I stood up between the two sermons and prayed two rak'ahs because I wanted to listen to the sermon. He asks: What is the ruling on this action? May Allah bless you.

Answer:
This is contrary to the prescribed Sunnah. It is obligatory for him, if he enters the mosque while the imam is delivering the sermon, to pray two rak'ahs, to make them brief, and then sit and listen to the sermon. A man came while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering the sermon to the people on Friday, and he said: "Have you prayed, so-and-so?" He said: "No." He said: "Stand up and bow two rak'ahs." And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So the greeting of the mosque is among the Sunnahs that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded. Yes.
