Imaam Ahmad bin Hanbal was asked a few questions regarding the friday prayer in the book Masa-il al-Imaam Ahmad bin Hanbal wa Is-haaq bin Rahaweyyah:
I asked him wether one person could give the khutbah and another person could lead the prayer
He replied: I do not know
I asked him if a person joins the Imaam in the last Raka'ah of the salah
He replied: Then he just adds one more Raka'ah, but if he joins the prayer whilst the people are in tashahud then he should pray four Raka'ahs
Is-haaq gave the same answer.
I asked him if there was any type of Imaam that the friday prayer would not be valid behind
He replied: No, the Friday prayer is not left for anything.
I asked him about the man who sneezes during the khutbah shall I say yarhamakAllah to him?
He replied: Yes do that
Is-haaq said the same thing
I asked him if I could reply to the greeting during the Khutbah
He replied: You should reply back
Is-haaq said: Yes
I asked him what if the place I am praying is very crowded and I cant preform ruku' nor sujud?
He replied: Then you make sajdah upon the back of the person infront of you.
