This ḥadith comes through the narration of Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī.

It was recorded by Abū Dāwūd—whose wording I have followed here—by al-Nasāʾī, who also has another version, and by al-Ṭaḥāwī, al-Ḥākim, and Aḥmad on the authority of Ibn ʿAjlān: ʿIyāḍ narrated it from him. The chain is sound (ḥasan). Al-Ḥākim declared it “authentic according to the criteria of Muslim,” and al-Dhahabī concurred—but that assessment is not correct, as has been pointed out more than once.

The additional wording cited by Aḥmad, and likewise by al-Nasāʾī, presents the report in fuller form; it includes the instruction to perform the two-rakʿa salutation of the mosque while the imam is delivering the Friday sermon. That portion was also transmitted by al-Tirmidhī, and its wording has already appeared under Adab Seven, ḥadith no. (4); whoever wishes may consult it there.

There is another report on the subject from Jarīr ibn ʿAbd Allāh, who said:

“We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ early in the day when a group of destitute men arrived, barefoot, wearing striped wool cloaks slit down the middle, each one carrying a sword … The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed color when he saw their poverty. He went inside, came back out, and ordered Bilāl to give the call to prayer. Bilāl gave the adhān and the iqāma, and the Prophet led the prayer. He then addressed the people, reciting: ‘O mankind, be mindful of your Lord who created you from a single soul … Indeed Allah is ever Watchful over you’ (Q 4:1), and the verse in Sūrat al-Ḥashr: ‘Fear Allah, and let every soul consider what it has forwarded for tomorrow’ (Q 59:18). He continued, ‘Let a man give in charity from his dinar …’—and so on. The narration states that a man from the Anṣār was the first to give, after which the people followed his example, and in it the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:”
