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

716 — Abū Muhammad al-Tamīmī also narrated to me, on the authority of an elder from Quraysh, who said: Iyās ibn Muʿāwiyah was told, “You speak a great deal.” He replied, “Do I speak correctly or wrongly?” They said, “Correctly.” He replied, “Then speaking a great deal of what is correct is better.”

٧١٦ - وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ التَّمِيمِيُّ، عَنْ شَيْخٍ، مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ قَالَ: قِيلَ لِإِيَاسِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ: إِنَّكَ تُكْثِرُ الْكَلَامَ. قَالَ: «أَفَبِصَوَابٍ أَتَكَلَّمُ أَمْ بِخَطَإٍ؟» قَالُوا: بِصَوَابٍ. قَالَ: «فَالْإِكْثَارُ مِنَ الصَّوَابِ أَفْضَلُ»
