حدثنا عبد الله حدثني أبي ثنا حسين بن علي عن زائدة عن سماك عن جابر بن سمرة قال : ما رأيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يخطب يوم الجمعة قط إلا وهو قائم فمن حدثك إنه رآه يخطب وهو قاعد فقد كذب قال وقال سماك قال جابر بن سمرة كانت صلاة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وخطبته قصدا وقال جابر بن سمرة كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يخطب قائما ثم يجلس ثم يقوم فيخطب

Comment of Shuʿayb al-Arnaʾūṭ (Qurṭuba edition)

صحيح لغيره وهذا إسناد حسن من أجل سماك

Quoted as he wrote it. It is his assessment — Hidayah24 does not grade hadith.

The printed Musnad begins with the book’s own transmission: «ḥaddathanā ʿAbd Allāh» is Aḥmad’s son ʿAbd Allāh (d. 290), who narrates the book from him, and «ḥaddathanī abī» is Aḥmad himself; the hadith’s own chain follows them.

Names are exactly as printed. A narrator is identified only where that is certain; tapping any other name searches for the possible men. Grades are the rijāl works’ — reliable narrators alone do not make a hadith ṣaḥīḥ (irregularity and hidden defects are weighed too).
