English translation

1111. 'Atâ' bin Yasâr narrated from Ubayy bin Ka'b: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ recited Tabârak [Al-Mulk (67)] one Friday, while he was standing and reminding us of the Days of Allâh (i.e., preaching to us). Abu Dardâ' or Abu Dharr raised an eyebrow at me and said: 'When was this Surah revealed? For I have not heard it before now.' He (Ubayy) gestured to him that he should remain silent. When they finished, he said: 'I asked you when this Surah was revealed and you did not answer me.' Ubayy said: 'You have gained nothing from your prayer today except the idle talk that you engaged in.' He went to the Prophet ﷺ and told him about that, and what Ubayy had said to him. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Ubayy spoke the truth.'" (Hasan)

1111 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحْرِزُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْعَدَنِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدَّرَاوَرْدِيُّ، عَنْ شَرِيكِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «قَرَأَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ تَبَارَكَ، وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ، فَذَكَّرَنَا بِأَيَّامِ اللَّهِ» ، وَأَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ أَوْ أَبُو ذَرٍّ يَغْمِزُنِي، فَقَالَ: مَتَى أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ السُّورَةُ؟ إِنِّي لَمْ أَسْمَعْهَا إِلَّا الْآنَ، فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ، أَنِ اسْكُتْ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفُوا، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُكَ مَتَى أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ السُّورَةُ فَلَمْ تُخْبِرْنِي؟ فَقَالَ أُبَيٌّ: لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنْ صَلَاتِكَ الْيَوْمَ إِلَّا مَا لَغَوْتَ، فَذَهَبَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، وَأَخْبَرَهُ بِالَّذِي قَالَ أُبَيٌّ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «صَدَقَ أُبَيٌّ»

Commentary

a. No response should be given to the person who tries to talk to one of you during the sermon. b. Gesturing to someone to keep quiet is not the same as speech. c. Talking during the sermon eats up the reward of Friday prayer.
