al-Samt wa Adab al-Lisan 52

Ibn Abi al-Dunya

«قَالَ: " كَانَ يُقَالُ: كَثْرَةُ الْكَلَامُ تَذْهَبُ بِالْوَقَارِ "»

Its text does not say these are the Prophet’s words ﷺ, so they are not framed in gold.

The text as printed

وَحَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النَّضْرِ الْحَارِثِيِّ قَالَ: " كَانَ يُقَالُ: كَثْرَةُ الْكَلَامُ تَذْهَبُ بِالْوَقَارِ "
