Hadith 1256
Hadith.1264 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) "The first to deliver the sermon (khutbah) before the prayer on Jumu’ah was Uthman because, when he would lead the prayer, the people would disperse after the prayer and not stay for his sermon, saying: 'What use is his preaching when he does not adhere to it himself, and he has introduced innovations?' When he noticed this, he placed the two sermons before the prayer."
1264 - وَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «أَوَّلُ مَنْ قَدَّمَ اَلْخُطْبَةَ عَلَى اَلصَّلاَةِ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ عُثْمَانُ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى لَمْ يَقِفِ اَلنَّاسُ عَلَى خُطْبَتِهِ وَ تَفَرَّقُوا وَ قَالُوا مَا نَصْنَعُ بِمَوَاعِظِهِ وَ هُوَ لاَ يَتَّعِظُ بِهَا وَ قَدْ أَحْدَثَ مَا أَحْدَثَ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ قَدَّمَ اَلْخُطْبَتَيْنِ عَلَى اَلصَّلاَةِ.
