Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud (RA):

Whenever Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ascended the Minbar (to give the Friday Khutbah), we used to face him. [at-Tirmidhi reported it through a weak chain of narrators].

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ: { كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-]إِذَا [ [1]‏ اسْتَوَى عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ اسْتَقْبَلْنَاهُ بِوُجُوهِنَا } رَوَاهُ اَلتِّرْمِذِيُّ, بِإِسْنَادٍ ضَعِيفٍ .‏ [2]‏ .‏
