Dr. Muzammil H. Siddiqi, former President of the Islamic Society of North America, states:
“The proper way of Friday and `Eid khutbah is that the Imam deliver the khutbah and then sit down for a short while and then give the second khutbah. This is the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). There is no report that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ever gave one khutbah on Friday or `Eid day. There are many hadiths on this subject reported by several Prophetic Companions (may Allah be pleased with them all).
`Abdullah Ibn `Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to give two khutbahs and he used to sit between them. (Reported by Al-Bukhari)
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is reported to have said, “Pray as you have seen me praying.” (Reported by Al-Bukhari). Thus, it is important that we follow his way in our prayers.”
