629 — Hamza related to me: Abdān informed us: Abd Allah informed us: Rishdīn ibn Sad informed us: al-Hajjāj ibn Shaddād related to us that he heard Ubayd Allah ibn Abī Jafar—who was one of the sages—say:
“When a man is speaking in a gathering and becomes pleased with his own words, let him fall silent; and when he is silent and becomes pleased with his silence, let him speak.”
٦٢٩ - حَدَّثَنِي حَمْزَةُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدَانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا رِشْدِينُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ شَدَّادٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ وَكَانَ أَحَدَ الْحُكَمَاءِ، يَقُولُ: «إِذَا كَانَ الْمَرْءُ يُحَدِّثُ فِي مَجْلِسٍ فَأَعْجَبَهُ الْحَدِيثُ فَلْيَسْكُتْ، فَإِنْ كَانَ سَاكِتًا فَأَعْجَبَهُ السُّكُوتُ فَلْيُحَدِّثْ»
