IRSYAD AL-HADITH SIRI KE-116 : BERCAKAP KETIKA AZAN
Is there a hadith saying that a person who speaks during the call to prayer will have a tongue that cannot utter the shahada at death?
Short answer
The claim is untrue and cannot be attributed to the Prophet SAW, as no basis for it was found, and narrating it would be a lie in his name.

Summary
The claim is untrue and cannot be attributed to the Prophet SAW, as no basis for it was found, and narrating it would be a lie in his name. Speaking during the adhan is permissible, but if it distracts a person from responding to the adhan, refraining is preferable because responding is a confirmed sunnah. A report from the time of Umar RA shows the companions spoke while the Friday adhan was being called.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Adapun bercakap ketika azan dibolehkan dan ia tidaklah menjadi satu kesalahan apabila melakukannya.
