Jabir said:
When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seated himself on the pulpit on a Friday he said, Sit down. Ibn Mas'ud heard that and sat down at the door of mosque, and when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw him, he said: Come here, 'Abd Allah b. Mas'ud.

Abu Dawud said: This tradition is known as mursal (the successor reports directly from the Prophet, omitting then name of the Companion). The people narrated it from the Prophet ﷺ on the authority of 'Ata'. Makhlad is his teacher.

حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ الأَنْطَاكِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ لَمَّا اسْتَوَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَالَ " اجْلِسُوا " . فَسَمِعَ ذَلِكَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَجَلَسَ عَلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَرَآهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ " تَعَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ هَذَا يُعْرَفُ مُرْسَلاً إِنَّمَا رَوَاهُ النَّاسُ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَمَخْلَدٌ هُوَ شَيْخٌ .
