1401 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: " مَنْ قَالَ لِصَاحِبِهِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَالْإِمَامُ يَخْطُبُ: أَنْصِتْ، فَقَدْ لَغَا "

Commentary
1. Huge numbers of people gather for Jumu'ah. Had permission for even routine conversation been accorded, it would have created noise and uproar. Therefore, talking was absolutely forbidden, so much so that one may not ask someone to keep quiet, because the noise raised by people who try to make others be quiet often exceeds that of the people involved in talking. 2. "He has engaged in idle talk": Even so, the obligation was fulfilled, but one would be deprived of the merit of the Jumu'ah. In other words, he will be considered to have merely performed the Zuhr prayer.
