Many will agree with me (who have read Imam of the haramins Part 3), that there was abit of confusion with why the Shiekhs of saudi hold onto waklking sticks whilst carrying out a Khutbah.
Some belive it is the Sunnah to have a walking stick by your side whilst carrying out the Khutbah.
"If you want to know what your status is with Allah, then look at what His status is with you. If you want to know what Allah has prepared for you, then look at what you have prepared for Him"
By quoting the jumu'ah khutbah of Rasulullah (saw) it is not intended that people should start restricting themselves to the khutbah. The khutbah should be delivered occasionally as a source of barakah and with the intention of following the sunnah. It was the habit of Rasulullah that once all the people had gathered, he used to enter the mosque and make salaam to all those present. Hadrat Bilal radiallahu anhu used to call out the adhaan. On the completion of the adhaan, he used to immediately stand up and deliver his khutbah. Until the mimbar was not constructed, he used to take support from a staff. Occasionally, he used to place the staff against a pillar which was near the mihraab from where he used to deliver his khutbah, and then lean against it. After the construction of the mimbar, there is no evidence that he used to take support from a staff.
