Narrating stories in the Friday sermon?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Question:
What is your opinion regarding some Friday preachers who, while on the pulpit, narrate stories and incidents about themselves?

Answer:
Answer: Stories from the Qur'an or from the Sunnah are good in the sermon or elsewhere. As for stories that came to him or to others, they do not belong in the sermon. The sermon is to be preserved from such talk and from these extraneous matters.
