Hadīth 1.
The prophet (ﷺ) said:
وَمَنْ لَغَا وَتَخَطَّى رِقَابَ النَّاسِ كَانَتْ لَهُ ظُهْرًا
He who indulges in laghā (an evil act) or steps over the necks of people (in the mosque), that (Friday) will be for him like the noon (Dhuhr) prayer. (Abū Dawūd 347. Declared Hasan by Al-Albānī)
Hadīth 2.
The prophet (ﷺ) said:
إِذَا قُلْتَ لِصَاحِبِكَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ أَنْصِتْ. وَالإِمَامُ يَخْطُبُ فَقَدْ لَغَوْتَ
When the Imām is delivering the Khutbah, and you ask your companion to keep quiet and listen, then you have done an laghu (evil act). (Sahīh Bukhārī 934. Sahīh Muslim 851)
Hadīth 3.
The prophet (ﷺ) said:
وَمَنْ مَسَّ الْحَصَى فَقَدْ لَغَا
He who fiddles with pebbles has committed laghā (evil act). (Abū Dawūd 1050. Declared Sahīh by Al-Albānī. Sahīh Muslim 857)
Hadīth 4.
The prophet (ﷺ) said:
يَحْضُرُ الْجُمُعَةَ ثَلاَثَةُ نَفَرٍ رَجُلٌ حَضَرَهَا يَلْغُو وَهُوَ حَظُّهُ مِنْهَا وَرَجُلٌ حَضَرَهَا يَدْعُو فَهُوَ رَجُلٌ دَعَا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِنْ شَاءَ أَعْطَاهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ مَنَعَهُ وَرَجُلٌ حَضَرَهَا بِإِنْصَاتٍ وَسُكُوتٍ وَلَمْ يَتَخَطَّ رَقَبَةَ مُسْلِمٍ وَلَمْ يُؤْذِ أَحَدًا فَهِيَ كَفَّارَةٌ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ الَّتِي تَلِيهَا وَزِيَادَةُ ثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامٍ وَذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ { مَنْ جَاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ عَشْرُ أَمْثَالِهَا }
Three types of people attend Friday prayer; A person who comes in and commits laghā (evil act), and that action will be his share from it (i.e. from attending Jummu’ah). A person who comes and supplicates to Allāh, so if Allāh wills, He will give him, and if He wills, He will not respond to him. And a man who attends it, keeps quiet, listening – he neither walked over a Muslims neck nor did he harm anyone. So for this person it will be an expiation for all sins until the next Friday, and an additional three days. This is because Allāh, the Exalted, says: “He who does a good deed will have ten times the like thereof” (Al-An’ām:160). (Abū Dawūd 1113. Declared Hasan by Al-Albānī)
Hadīth 5.
The prophet (ﷺ) said:
ومن قال لصاحبه: صه، فقد تكلم، ومن تكلم فقد لغا، ومن لغا فلا جمعة له
Whoever says to his companion: ‘Hush’, then he has spoken, and whoever speaks has committed laghā, and whoever commits laghā has no Jummuah. (Musnad Imām Ahmad 719. Zād al-Ma’ād of Ibn Al-Qayyim 3/43. Takhrīj of Abū Dawūd by Al-Arnāūt 2/284)
Points of benefit
A) al-Nawawī said: ‘When the Imām is delivering the Khutbah‘ is evidence of the obligation to listen and the prohibition of speaking during the deliverance of the khutbah.
This is our madhab and the madhab of Mālik and the majority. (Sharh Sahīh Muslim 3 /359)
B) al-Nawawī said: [explaining hadīth in Sahīh Muslim 851 – hadīth 2 mentioned above] : In this hadīth there is a prohibition of every kind of speech during the khutbah. (Sharh Sahīh Muslim 3/358)
C) Ibn al-Qayyim said: Listening to the khutbah is obligatory. He who leaves off (not listening to the khutbah) will render one’s Jummu’ah void; whoever commits laghā has no Jummu’ah. (Zād al-Ma’ād 1/365)
D) Ibn Hajr said: It was said: Laghā is sin, as Allāh says: ‘And if they pass by some laghwī (evil play or evil talk), they pass by it with dignity’ (Al-Furqān:72). Al-Nadr ibn Shamīl said: The meaning of laghā is that you have lost your reward. And it has been said that the virtue of your Friday prayer has been invalidated. And it has been said that your Friday prayer has become Dhuhr.
I say: The sayings of the linguists are close in meaning, and the last saying is supported by what was narrated by Abū Dawūd and Ibn Khuzaymah from the hadīth of ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Amr [Hadīth 1 presented above]. Ibn Wahb – one of the narrators – said: What it meant is: His prayer is still valid but he is deprived of the virtue of Jummu’ah. (Fath al-Bārī 2/481)
E) Al-‘Ādhīm al-Abadī said: ‘it will be for him like the Dhuhr prayer‘, meaning, like the Dhur prayer in terms of reward. (‘Awn al-Ma’būd 1/533)
F) al-Nawawī said: ‘He who fiddles with pebbles has committed laghā (evil act)‘, in it is a prohibition against touching pebbles and other types of fiddling during the khutbah. (Sharh Sahīh Muslim 3/371)
