Not Talking During Khutbah

Here is a SaHeeH (Authentic) hadeeth that shows us that it is not appropriate for us to talk when the person is giving a khuTbah (speech).

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ إِذَا خَطَبَ الْإِمَامُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ- فَلَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ الْإِمَامُ مِنْ خُطْبَتِهِ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ الْإِمَامُ مِنَ الْخُطْبَتَيْنِ تَكَلَّمَ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ أَنْ يُقَامَ لِلصَّلَاةِ

From Muhammad bin Muslim from Abee `Abd Allaah (عليه السلام) said: “When the leader is giving a khuTbah (speech) on the day of Jumu`ah, it is not appropriate for one to speak until the leader has finished the khuTbah. And when the leader finishes the two khuTbahs, he can speak until he stands for salaah (prayer).”
