11.Al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿUlwān narrated from ʿAmr ibn Khālid, from Zayd ibn ʿAlī, from his fathers, from ʿAlī (a) who said
“I heard the Messenger of Allah (ṣ) say, ‘Speech is of three types: the profitable, the sound, and the detrimental. As for the profitable [speech], it is that where Allah is mentioned. As for the sound [speech], it is that wherein what Allah likes is spoken. And as for the detrimental [speech], it is that in which people are spoken about [in a negative way].’”
الحسين بن علوان عن عمرو بن خالد عن زيد بن علي عن آبائه عن علي عليه السلام. قال
سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله يقول: الكلام ثلاثة فرابح وسالم وشاجب فاما الرابح فالذي يذكر الله واما السالم فالذي يقول ما أحب الله واما الشاجب فالذي يخوض في الناس.
