Sahih Muslim 5647 — Book 39, Hadith 2

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ كُنَّا قُعُودًا بِالأَفْنِيَةِ نَتَحَدَّثُ فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَامَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا لَكُمْ وَلِمَجَالِسِ الصُّعُدَاتِ اجْتَنِبُوا مَجَالِسَ الصُّعُدَاتِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْنَا إِنَّمَا قَعَدْنَا لِغَيْرِ مَا بَاسٍ قَعَدْنَا نَتَذَاكَرُ وَنَتَحَدَّثُ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِمَّا لاَ فَأَدُّوا حَقَّهَا غَضُّ الْبَصَرِ وَرَدُّ السَّلاَمِ وَحُسْنُ الْكَلاَمِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Rapporté par Abu Talha رضي الله عنه : Alors que nous étions assis devant les maisons à discuter entre nous, le Messager d’Allah ﷺ est venu vers nous. Il s’est arrêté et a dit : « Que faites-vous là, à tenir vos réunions sur les chemins ? Évitez de vous réunir sur les chemins. » Nous avons répondu : « Nous sommes assis ici sans vouloir nuire à ceux qui passent ; nous discutons simplement entre nous. » Il a alors dit : « Si vous ne pouvez pas faire autrement, alors respectez les droits du chemin : baisser le regard, échanger les salutations et parler correctement. »
