Explanation of the Book of Friday Prayer and the Two Festivals-04a
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Mas'ud narrated to us, Bashir ibn al-Mufaddal narrated to us, 'Ubayd Allah ibn 'Umar narrated to us, from Nafi', from 'Abd Allah ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: Mishkat al-Masabih 1413.
The Shaykh : So this is from the Sunnah. If it is difficult for a man to sit, let him endure it as much as he can, so that there is a distinction between the first sermon and the second sermon. Because if he remained standing and then continued, people would think that his silence was for a reason, not to separate the first sermon from the second.
Moreover, the separation between the two sermons is now clarified by mentioning the introduction to the sermon. However, we say that it is better to sit between the two sermons.
Now, does Jumu'ah have two sermons? And the festival? One sermon or two? And the prayer for rain has one; two sermons are not reported for it.
The apparent correct Sunnah indicates that the festival has one sermon. But in a hadith narrated by Ibn Majah, as I think, and there is weakness in its chain, it is stated that he delivered two sermons. The practice is based on this; the people's practice now is two sermons.
the Prophet used to deliver two sermons
