Pay attention while listening to sermons given by Imams during Jumu’ah prayer

This hadith emphasizes the importance of paying attention and listening to the sermon given by an Imam during Jumu’ah prayer. It is narrated that in the time of Umar ibn al Khattab they used to pray until he came out and sat on a Mimbar. When he arrived and called for Adhan they would sit and talk but when he stood up to give his khutba they would pay attention and no one would speak. This shows that it is important for Muslims to listen carefully when an Imam gives a sermon as it contains valuable teachings from Allah SWT. It also teaches us respect for our leaders as we should not be talking while they are speaking or giving sermons.
