733 — Uthmān ibn Sālih related to me: Saīd ibn Āmir related to us: Jasr Abū Jafar related to us, from Khālid al-Rabaī, who said: “There are three things: retain them from me and learn them one by one, for you will not be able to manage them all at once—refraining from lying, backbiting, and swearing oaths.”
٧٣٣ - حَدَّثَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَسْرٌ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الرَّبَعِيِّ قَالَ: " ثَلَاثٌ احْفَظُوهُنَّ عَنِّي وَتَعَلَّمُوهُنَّ وَاحِدَةً وَاحِدَةً، فَإِنَّكُمْ لَا تُطِيقُوهُنَّ جَمِيعًا: تَرْكُ الْكَذِبِ، وَالْغِيبَةُ، وَالْحَلِفُ "
