418 — Alī ibn Abī Maryam narrated to me, from Abū Ishāq al-Tālaqānī: Al-Walīd ibn Muslim narrated to us, from al-Awzāʿī, from Yahyā—may Allah have mercy on him—who said: “A man praised another man, so one of the early Muslims asked him, ‘What do you know about him?’ He replied, ‘I have seen him carefully guard his speech.’”
