Authentic Sunnah forbids listening to someone who says a statement and hates others to listen to him:
Ibn ‘Abbas may Allah be pleased with him narrated that the Prophet peace be upon him said:
“If anyone listens to other people’s talk when they do not want him to hear it, or they try to avoid him, then molten lead will be poured into his ears on the Day of Resurrection.”
[Al-Bukhari]
But if it is something that the speaker does not dislike others to listen to it, as is the case with those who speak out loud in the presence of people, then if he listens to it, he is not included in the threat that is mentioned in the Hadeeth.
This is a fortiori if one has heard it accidentally without actually listening to it.
The difference between hearing and listening, as clarified by Ibn Taymiyyah Rahimahullaah is: “What is forbidden is listening and not hearing.
If a person hears Kufr (disbelief), lying, backbiting, singing, and music unintentionally; rather, he only heard that as he was passing by, then he is not sinful, by the agreement of all the Muslims...”
The Muslim should in any case stay away from what does not concern him and in which there is no benefit from it.
