The Mu'adhdhin Repeating the Hadith "Be Silent While the Imam Is Delivering the Sermon" Before the Sermon

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: In some Islamic countries, before the imam ascends the minbar, the mu'adhdhin repeats this hadith:
When the Imam is delivering the Khutba, and you ask your companion to keep quiet and listen, then no doubt you have done an evil act.إذا قلت لصاحبك يوم الجمعة أنصت والإمام يخطب فقد لغوت
Sahih al-Bukhari 934
and the mu'adhdhin repeats it. Is this prescribed?

Answer:
Allah knows best. This was not practiced in the eras of Islam. However, if someone makes a mistake, he is pointed out to it privately. As for generalizing this to the people, no.
