JUMU'AH&EID

The Jumu'ah Khutbah of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

By quoting the jumu'ah khutbah of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam it is not intended that people should start restricting themselves to this khutbah. This khutbah should be delivered occasionally as a source of barakah and with the intention of following the sunnah . It was the habit of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that once all the people had gathered, he used to enter the musjid and make salaam to all those present. Hadrat Bilal radiallahu anhu used to call out the adhaan . On the completion of the adhaan , he used to immediately stand up and deliver his khutbah. Until the mimbar was not constructed, he used to take support from a staff. Occasionally, he used to place the staff against a pillar which was near the mihraab from where he used to deliver his khutbah, and then lean against it. After the construction of the mimbar , there is no evidence that he used to take support from a staff.

He used to deliver two khutbahs and sit down for a little while in-between the two khutbahs. When sitting down, he did not engage in any conversation nor should he make any dua . On completing the second khutbah, Hadrat Bilal radiallahu anhu used to call out the iqaamah and Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to commence the salaat.

While delivering the khutbah, Rasulullah's sallallahu alayhi wa sallam voice used to get loud and his blessed eyes used to get red. It is mentioned in Sahih Muslim that when Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to deliver the khutbah his condition used to be as if he is warning the people of an invasion of an enemy that is very nearby. In most of the khutbahs he used to say: " Qiyaamah and I have been sent just as these two fingers are!" And he used to join his middle and forefinger together. Thereafter, he used to deliver the following khutbah:

At times he used to deliver this khutbah:

At times, after saying the praises of Allah Ta'ala, he used to deliver the following khutbah:

A Sahabi says that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to recite Surah Qaaf very regularly in his khutbahs so much so that I learnt Surah Qaaf merely by listening to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam reciting it on the mimbar . At times he used to recite Surah al-Asr , and at times he used to recite the following verses:
