Al-Samt wa-Adab al-LisanIbn Abi al-Dunya

529 — Ahmad ibn Ibrāhīm narrated to us. Muhammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Asadī narrated to us. Qays ibn Sulaym al-ʿAnbarī narrated to us, from Jawwāb al-Taymī, who said: The sister of al-Rabīʿ ibn Khuthaym came to visit a young son of his who was ill. She bent over him and said, “How are you, my son?” Al-Rabīʿ sat up and asked, “Did you nurse him?” She replied, “No.” He said, “What harm would there have been in saying, ‘My nephew,’ and thus speaking truthfully?”

٥٢٩ - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَسَدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، عَنْ جَوَّابٍ التَّيْمِيِّ قَالَ: جَاءَتْ أُخْتُ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ عَائِدَةً إِلَى بُنَيٍّ لَهُ، فَانْكَبَّتْ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَتْ: كَيْفَ أَنْتَ يَا بُنَيَّ؟ فَجَلَسَ رَبِيعٌ، فَقَالَ: «أَرْضَعْتِيهِ؟» قَالَتْ: لَا. قَالَ: " مَا عَلَيْكِ لَوْ قُلْتِ: يَا ابْنَ أَخِي، فَصَدَقْتِ "
