Muhammad ibn Idrīs related to me; Asbagh related to us; Ibn Wahb related to us; Sahbal ibn Muhammad al-Aslamī related to me, saying: I heard Muhammad ibn Ajlān say, “Speech is only of four kinds: mentioning Allah, reciting the Quran, asking about knowledge and being informed of it, or speaking about those worldly matters that concern you.”
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَصْبَغُ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي سَحْبَلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَجْلَانَ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّمَا الْكَلَامُ أَرْبَعَةٌ: أَنْ تَذْكُرَ اللَّهَ، وَأَنْ تَقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ، وَتَسْأَلَ عَنْ عِلْمٍ فَتُخْبِرَ بِهِ، أَوْ تَكَلَّمَ فِيمَا يَعْنِيكَ مِنْ أَمْرِ دُنْيَاكَ "
