Shuayb ibn Zurayq at-Taifi said: I sat with a man who had been in the company of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He was called al-Hakam ibn Hazn al-Kulafi. He began to narrate a tradition to us saying: I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a delegation consisting of seven or nine persons. We entered upon him and said: Messenger of Allah, we have visited you, so pray Allah what is good for us. He ordered to give us some dates. The Muslims in those days were weak. We stayed there for several days and offered the Friday prayer along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He stood leaning on a staff or a bow. He praised Allah and exalted Him in light, pure and blessed words. Then he said: O people, you have no power to obey or you cannot obey what you are ordered. But be straight and give good tidings. Abu Ali said: Did you hear Abu Dawud ? He said: Some of my companions reminded me of some words that were omitted from writing on the paper.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed, he would say: Praise be to Allah, from Whom we seek help and pardon, and we seek refuge in Allah from the evils of our souls. He whom Allah guide has no one who can lead him astray, and he whom He leads astray has no one to guide him. And I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. He sent him before the coming of the last hour with truth giving good tidings and warning. He who obeys Allah and His Messenger follows the right path; and he who disobeys them shall harm none except himself, and he will not harm Allah in the least.

Narrated Ibn Shihab: Yunus asked Ibn Shihab about the address of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on Friday. He mentioned it in like manner. He added: Anyone who disobeys them (Allah and His Messenger) goes astray. We beseech Allah, our Lord, to make us from those who obey Him and obey His Messenger, and follow what He likes, and abstain from His anger; we are due to Him and we belong to Him.

Adi bin Hatim said: A speaker delivered a speech in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ. He said: Anyone who obeys Allah and His Messenger, and one who disobeys them. He said: Go away, you are a bad speaker.

Bint al-Harith bin al-Numan said: I memorized Surah al-Qaf from the mouth of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; he would recite it in his speech on every friday. Our oven and his oven were same. Abu Dawud said: Rawh bin Ubadah reported on the authority of Shubah the name Bint Harithah bin al-Numan ; and Ibn Ishaq reported the name of Umm Hisham hint Harithah bin al-Numan.

Jabir bin Samurah said: The prayer offered by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was moderate, and the sermon given by him was (also) moderate. He would recite a few verses from the Quran and exhort the people.

Umrah reported on the authority of her sister: I memorized Surah al-Qaf from the mouth of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; he used to recite it on every friday. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated in a similar way by Yahya bin Ayyub, Ibn Abu Ar-Rijal, from Yahya bin Saeed, from Umrah from Umm Hisham hint Harithah bin al-Numan.

This tradition has also been transmitted to the same effect through a different chain of narrators by Umrah from her sister Umrah daughter of Abdur-Rahman who was older than her.

Umarah bin Ruwaibah said that he saw Bishr bin Marwan (on the pulpit) praying on Friday (by raising his hands). Umarah said: May Allah reject these hands! I have seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the pulpit gesturing no more than this pointing with his forefinger.

Narrated Sahl ibn Saad: I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raising his hands and praying on the pulpit or otherwise. But I saw him saying (doing) this way, and he would point with his forefinger making a circle by joining the middle finger with his thumb.
