Ruling on the Friday preacher beginning the sermon before the adhan by a certain amount of time

Question:
Some of the imams of the congregational mosques come forward and sit with the worshippers on Friday an hour before the prayer. It was said to him: The Sunnah is to come at the time of the sermon. He said: Is it better? Did he catch the reward?

Answer:
I am not aware of anything that prevents this. The actions and sayings of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) must be reconciled, so there is no contradiction between the saying and the action. If one delays for a need, there is no harm, or for an excuse. And if one comes early, there is no harm; because his sayings (peace and blessings be upon him) do not contradict his actions. His actions are explained by his sayings, and his sayings are explained by his actions.
