One who prays Jumu'ah should not connect it with another prayer until he speaks or leaves

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I would like an explanation of this hadith: It is narrated from al-Sa'ib ibn Yazid that Mu'awiyah said: "When you have prayed Jumu'ah, do not connect it with another prayer until you speak or leave. Did not the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) order us not to connect one prayer with another until we speak or leave?"

Answer:
This hadith was narrated by Muslim in his Sahih. It indicates that when a Muslim prays Jumu'ah or any of the other obligatory prayers, he must not connect it with another prayer until he speaks or leaves the mosque. Speaking here means using the dhikr (remembrance of Allah) that Allah has prescribed, such as saying: "I seek Allah's forgiveness, I seek Allah's forgiveness, I seek Allah's forgiveness. O Allah, You are Peace and from You comes peace. Blessed are You, O Possessor of Majesty and Honor," when he says the taslim (closing salam), and the various types of dhikr that Allah has prescribed after that. Through this, the separation from the prayer becomes completely clear, so that it is not thought that this prayer is part of the previous one. The purpose of this is to distinguish the prayer one has finished from the other prayer. Therefore, when one says the taslim in Jumu'ah, he should not connect it with a voluntary prayer (nafilah), so that neither he nor anyone else believes that it is connected to it or that it is required for it.
The same applies to the other prayers, such as Zuhr, 'Asr, Maghrib, 'Isha', and Fajr. It is necessary to separate them with speech, such as dhikr or other speech, or by leaving the mosque, so that it is known that they are not connected to what came before them.
