Explanation of the Book of Friday Prayer and the Two Festivals-04b
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Yahya ibn Bukayr narrated to us, Al-Layth narrated to us, from 'Aqil, from Ibn Shihab, who said: Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib informed me that Abu Hurayrah informed him: that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih al-Bukhari 934.
The Shaykh : In this hadith, al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Chapter on listening on Friday while the imam is delivering the sermon". His phrase: "while the imam is delivering the sermon" is a circumstantial clause, meaning that listening is obligatory during the imam's sermon. Listening is not obligatory before the sermon, even after the imam has arrived, and it is not obligatory between the two sermons.
The apparent meaning of the hadithSahih al-Bukhari 934 is that there is no difference between the imam reciting the pillars of the sermon, reciting rulings, or making supplication; in all of these, speaking is forbidden.
As for the statement of some scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) that speaking is not forbidden unless the preacher is reciting what is among the pillars of the sermon, this is a weak opinion. The correct view is that from the time the imam begins the sermon until he finishes it, speaking is forbidden.
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.
