Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Amir from Ali ibn Mahziyar from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from abu Maryam who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about the sermon of the Messenger of Allah if it was before or after Salah (prayer). He (the Imam) said, ‘The Messenger of Allah would first deliver sermons, then perform Salah (prayer).”’ وثق - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (15/355))
