Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Thalaba ibn
Abi Malik al Quradhi informed him that in the time of Umar ibn al
Khattab they used to pray on the day of jumua until Umar came out, and
when Umar came out and sat on the mimbar and the muadhdhins called the
adhan, they would sit and talk, and then when the muadhdhins were
silent and Umar stood to give the khutba, they would pay attention and
no-one would speak .
Ibn Shihab said, "The imam coming out stops prayer and his speaking stops conversation."
