Sunan Abu Dawud #1113

Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat)
Sahih

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا قُلْتَ أَنْصِتْ وَالإِمَامُ يَخْطُبُ فَقَدْ لَغَوْتَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏
When you tell (your brother on Friday) to be silent while the imam is giving the sermon you are guilty of idle talk.
Narrated by Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying:

Context

Abu Hurairah narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) warned against speaking during the imam's sermon on Friday. This guidance emphasizes the importance of attentiveness and respect during communal worship. Engaging in idle talk during the sermon detracts from the sanctity of the moment and the message being delivered.

Modern Application

During Friday prayers, congregants are encouraged to maintain silence and focus on the imam's sermon. This practice fosters a respectful environment and allows everyone to benefit from the teachings being shared.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Prophetic Conduct and Friday Prayer (Jumu'ah) because it highlights the importance of attentiveness and respect during the Friday sermon.
