Sunan Ibn Majah 1114 (Book 5, Hadith 312) #30466
The Importance of Prayer Before Sermon

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ advised Sulaik Al-Ghatafani to perform two Rakah of prayer before coming to the sermon.

It was narrated that Jabir said: "Sulaik Al-Ghatafani came while the Messenger of Allah was delivering the sermon. The Prophet said to him: 'Did you perform two Rak’ah before you came?’ He said: 'No.’ He said: 'Then perform two Rak’ah, but make them brief.’"
حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَعَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالاَ جَاءَ سُلَيْكٌ الْغَطَفَانِيُّ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يَخْطُبُ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ ‏"‏ أَصَلَّيْتَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَجِيءَ؟ ‏"‏ قَالَ: لاَ ‏.‏ قَالَ: ‏"‏ فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَتَجَوَّزْ فِيهِمَا
