- ʿAbdullah narrated to us. Al-Hakam ibn Musa related to me. Hiql narrated to us, from al-Awzaʿi, from Yahya, who said:
Solomon said to his son, “My dear child, beware of namīmah (malicious tale-bearing), for it is like the edge of a sword.”
٤٦٧ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي الْحَكَمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا هِقْلٌ، عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى قَالَ: " قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ لِابْنِهِ: يَا بُنَيَّ، إِيَّاكَ وَالنَّمِيمَةَ؛ فَإِنَّهَا كَحَدِّ السَّيْفِ "
