Is it correct to say that "Amma ba'd" is used to transition from one matter to another?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you. It is reported from 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that he mentioned the phrase "Amma ba'd" more than once in a single speech. That is, he mentioned a topic, then moved away from it and said: "Amma ba'd," then moved to another and said "Amma ba'd." Is it correct to say that "Amma ba'd" is used to transition from one matter to another?

The Shaykh : From one style to another.

The questioner : From one style to another.

The Shaykh : I do not know about the story you mention, but one must look into his sermon. Then, if it is indeed so, perhaps this was because he wanted to alert the listeners, or for some other reason. Otherwise, the original rule is that it is said only once.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : In any case, it should be looked into. Yes.
