Is the one who sends blessings upon the Prophet during the Friday sermon, or the one who says "Ameen" during the supplication, considered to have spoken?

Question:
What is the ruling on the one who sends blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during the Friday sermon when the name of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is mentioned while the imam is delivering the sermon, or when he generalizes "Ameen" to some of the imam's supplications during the sermon? Does that affect the one praying? And is it considered that he has spoken in his prayer?

Answer:
Yes, it is required of those present to listen to the Friday sermon and not to speak anything, not with dhikr, not with responding to the salam, not with enjoining good and forbidding evil, and not with sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). If they hear his name mentioned (peace and blessings be upon him), they should not utter it; rather, they should send blessings and salam upon him in their hearts, without uttering it. This is during the sermon. As for the supplication in the last part of the sermon, if the imam supplicates, there is no harm in their saying "Ameen" and sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
