It is reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“When one of you comes to Friday prayers, he should not raise anyone from his seat, so that he can take his place.”
This hadith was narrated by Muhammad ibn Ja’far al-Khara’iti in Makaarim al-Akhlaaq from the words of Jabir ibn Abdullah.
Sheikh al-Albani called the hadith authentic. See Saheeh al-jami ‘as-saghir 457.
