Chapter 43 · General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab)حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ الْبَهْرَانِيُّ، أَنَّهُ قَرَأَ فِي أَصْلِ إِسْمَاعِيل بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ، وَحَدَّثَهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل ابْنُهُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ضَمْضَمٌ، عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو ظَبْيَةَ، أَنَّ عَمْرَو ابْنَ الْعَاصِ، قال يَوْمًا وَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَأَكْثَرَ الْقَوْلَ، فَقَالَ عَمْرٌو: لَوْ قَصَدَ فِي قَوْلِهِ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَوْ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَتَجَوَّزَ فِي الْقَوْلِ، فَإِنَّ الْجَوَازَ هُوَ خَيْرٌ .

One day when a man got up and spoke at length Amr bin al-As said If he had been moderate in what he said: It would have been better for him. I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم say: I think (or, I have been commanded) that I should be brief in what I say, for brevity is better.
