1110 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: " إِذَا قُلْتَ لِصَاحِبِكَ: أَنْصِتْ، يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَالْإِمَامُ يَخْطُبُ، فَقَدْ لَغَوْتَ "

Commentary
It is prohibited either to initiate conversation or reply to someone else's remarks during the sermon. In cases where there is something of vital import, it is allowed to speak to the Imâm during the sermon as happened in the case of a person who requested the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ to pray to Allâh for rain on one Friday, and for halting the rain on the next Friday (Sahih Al-Bukhârî: 933). Similarly, as we shall, see in the next Chapter, the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ spoke to Sulaik Ghatafânî ﷺ during the course of his sermon. However, things like annoying the assembly with questions after questions in order to capture their attention, or getting them to answer aloud, or raise slogans inside the mosque, are highly improper acts if done by the Imâm.
