Ibn Shihab said, "The imam coming out stops prayer and his speaking stops conversation

وحدثني عن مالك، عن ابن شهاب، عن ثعلبة بن ابي مالك القرظي، انه اخبره انهم، كانوا في زمان عمر بن الخطاب يصلون يوم الجمعة حتى يخرج عمر فاذا خرج عمر وجلس على المنبر واذن الموذنون - قال ثعلبة - جلسنا نتحدث فاذا سكت الموذنون وقام عمر يخطب انصتنا فلم يتكلم منا احد . قال ابن شهاب فخروج الامام يقطع الصلاة وكلامه يقطع الكلام
