Is it prescribed to travel to a preacher and mosque imam to hear his recitation and sermon?

The Shaykh : Some people saw a man traveling from one town to another on Friday to listen to the sermon of the mosque imam, so they rebuked him, saying, “We seek refuge in Allah from you and we disavow to Allah of your action. What have you done?” He said, “I traveled to other than the three mosques.” What do you say? We say that traveling to a mosque is traveling for knowledge, so that he may benefit from this man’s sermon. Therefore, if the man were in his own town, he would not have traveled. There is a difference between one who travels to listen to the imam’s sermon or to pray behind the imam, as some people do in the days of Ramadan, where there are people in the town whose recitation they enjoy, so they travel to them. We say there is nothing wrong with this, because he did not travel to the place, but rather he traveled for knowledge, whether it was the sermon or for the pleasure of listening to his recitation. And this is permissible. And Allah knows best. Yes.
