It was narrated from Jabir bin ‘Abdullah that a man entered the mosque one Friday when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was delivering the sermon. He started stepping over the people’s shoulders, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
‘Sit down, for you have annoyed (people) and you are late.’”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمُحَارِبِيُّ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ فَجَعَلَ يَتَخَطَّى النَّاسَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ " اجْلِسْ فَقَدْ آذَيْتَ وَآنَيْتَ " .
