1112. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "If you say: 'Be quiet,' while the Imām is delivering the Khutbah, you have committed Laghā (spoken in vain)." (Sahīh)

Arabic text

1112 - حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِذَا قُلْتَ: أَنْصِتْ وَالْإِمَامُ يَخْطُبُ، فَقَدْ لَغَوْتَ "

Commentary

One should keep absolutely quiet during the Khutbah and not speak, even to tell others to keep quiet. It is for the Khatīb to do so, if there is a need.
