(1) A Hadith states, 'One who climbs over people on Friday makes himself one of the bridges of Hell.' (Tirmizi, V2, P48, Hadith 513, Dar-ul-Fikr Beirut) One of the explanations of this Hadith is that people will climb over such a person when walking into the fire.
(2) Sitting facing the Khateeb is a practice of the Blessed Companions . (mulakhkhas az mishkaat, P123)
(3) Some of our pious predecessor's have said, 'One should listen to the sermon sitting on both knees (as one would sit in Salaah), holding the hands (under ones navel) in the first sermon and placing them on his thighs in the second, this will In'shaa-Allah earn him the reward for performing two rak'at of Salaah. (mir'at sharh mishkaat, V2, P338)
(4) Ala Hazrat Imam Ahmad Raza Khan says, 'When one hears the blessed name of the Holy Prophet during the sermon he should recite Durood in his heart (and not verbally) as it is fardh for one to remain silent.' (Fatawa-e-Razawiya, V8, P365 Raza Foundation Lahore)
(5) It is mentioned in 'dur-e-mukhtaar', 'Eating, drinking, talking (even saying ), replying to another's greeting, and inviting towards good are all Haraam during the sermon.' (dur-e-mukhtaar ma' rad-dul-muhtaar, V3, P35)
(6) AlaHazrat says, 'Walking during the sermon is Haraam. In fact, the respected scholars say that if one enters the masjid during the sermon he must stop where ever he is (and not proceed further) because any form of activity is prohibited at this time.' (Fatawa-e-Razawiyyah, V8, P334, Raza Foundation Lahore)
(7) Ala Hazrat says, 'Turning ones head to look around is (also) Haraam during the sermon.' (ibid)
Important ruling regarding leading Friday Salaah
Amongst the many issues that people nowadays are unaware of is that of leading Friday Salaah. We often think that the Friday Salaah is the same as the others, in the sense that anyone and everyone is allowed to lead it, whereas this is prohibited. Establishing Friday Salaah is the responsibility of the king or his deputy and where these do not exist, the greatest rightly guided scholar is responsible (he replaces the Islamic ruler in affairs of Shariah), Friday Salaah cannot be established without his permission and if an area is deprived of such a scholar, then whoever the common public appoint to lead the Salaah. The common people are not authorised to appoint someone in the presence of a scholar neither is it permissible for merely a few men to appoint someone on their own behalf. (Bahar-e-Shariat, Part 4, P95, Madina-tul-Murshid Bareilly Shareef)
