512. Abū Hurairah narrated that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said: "Whoever said: 'Be quite' while the Imām is giving the Khutbah then he has committed Laghw (useless activity)." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Ibn Abī Awfā and Jābir bin 'Abdullāh.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Abū Hurairah is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth. It is acted upon according to the people of knowledge. They dislike a man talking while the Imām is delivering the Khutbah. They say that if someone else talks he is not to censure him except by gesturing.
They differ over returning the Salām, and replying to the one who sneezes [while the Imām is delivering the Khutbah.] Some of the people of knowledge allowed returning the Salām and replying to
the one who sneezed while the Imām is delivering the Khutbah. This is the view of Ahmad and Ishāq. Some of the people of knowledge among the Tābi'īn and others disliked it, and this is the view of Ash-Shāfi'ī.

Commentary
When it is impermissible to tell a person to stop talking during the sermon, how then can a person himself talk. This is the duty of the Imām to teach the manners to his audience.
