1414. It was narrated from 'Abdullāh bin Buraidah that his father said: "The Prophet ﷺ was preaching, then Al-Ḥasan and Al-Ḥusain came, wearing red shirts and stumbling in them. The Prophet ﷺ came down,
interrupting himself, and picked them up, then he went back to the Minbar and said: 'Allāh has spoken the truth: Your wealth and your children are only a trial.'[1] I saw these two stumbling in their shirts and I could not continue until I had interrupted myself and picked them up.'" (Hasan)

Commentary
The command of keeping quiet concerns the worshippers or the followers. The prayer-leader may communicate or talk to someone during the Friday sermon, and also he may fulfill some needs. The purpose of reciting this noble Verse is to demonstrate that man should successfully fulfill this trial, and at the same time should not go astray. One should not remain deficient in fulfilling the rights of Allāh, nor should he show slothfulness in fulfilling the rights of a man, as the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ demonstrated an excellent model or specimen on this occasion.
