Allah's Messenger (pbuh) didn't deliver sermon on certain days fearing it might be boring

Shaqiq (RadhiAllahu 'anhu) reported: We were sitting at the door of Abdullah b. Mas'ud (RadhiAllahu 'anhu) waiting for him (to come out and deliver a sermon to us).

It was at this time that there happened to pass by us Yazid b. Mu'awiya an-Nakha'i. (RA). We said: Inform him (Abdullah b. Mas'ud (RA)) of our presence here. He went in and Abdullah b. Mas'ud (RA) lost no time in coming out to us and said:

"I was informed of your presence here but nothing hindered me to come out to you but the fact that I did not like to bore you (by stuffing your minds with sermons) as Allah's Messenger ﷺ did not deliver us sermon on certain days fearing that it might prove to be boring for us."

[Sahih Muslim - Book 39 - Hadith 6775]
