Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Thalaba ibn Abi Malik al Quradhi informed him that in the time of Umar
ibn al Khattab they used to pray on the day of jumua until Umar came out, and when Umar came out and sat on the mimbar
and the muadhdhins called the adhan, they would sit and talk, and then when the muadhdhins were silent and Umar stood to
give the khutba, they would pay attention and no-one would speak .
Ibn Shihab said, "The imam coming out stops prayer and his speaking stops conversation."
SPEECH:
20:27 - "And remove the impediment from my speech. 2553
2553 Literally, "Loosen a knot from my tongue". (20.27)
26:13 - "My breast will be straitened and my speech may not go (smoothly): so send unto Aaron.

Who is better in speech than one who calls (men) to Allah works righteousness and says "I am of
those who bow in Islam"? 4503
27:16 - And Solomon was David's heir. He said: "O ye people! we have been taught the speech of
Birds and on us has been bestowed (a little) of all things: this is indeed Grace manifest (from
Allah)." 325432553256
27:19 - So he smiled amused at her speech; and he said: "O my Lord! so order me that I may be
grateful for Thy favors which Thou hast bestowed on me and on my parents and that I may
work the righteousness that will please Thee: and admit me by Thy Grace to the ranks of Thy
righteous Servants." 325932603261
31:19 - "And be moderate in thy pace and lower thy voice; for the harshest of sounds without doubt
is the braying of the ass." 3604
3604 The "Golden Mean" is the pivot of the philosophy of Luqman as it is of the philosophy of Aristotle and indeed of Islam.
And it flows naturally from a true understanding of our relation to Allah and His universe and to our fellow-creatures,
especially man. In all things be moderate. Do not go the pace, and do not be stationary or slow. Do not be talkative
and do not be silent. Do not be loud and do not be timid or half-hearted. Do not be too confident, and do not be cowed
down. If you have patience, it is to give you constancy and determination, that you may bravely carry on the struggle
of life. If you have humility, it is to save you from unseemly swagger, not to curb your right spirit and your reasoned
determination. (31.19)
33:4 - Allah has not made for any man two hearts in his (one) body: nor has He made your wives
whom ye divorce by Zihar your mothers: nor has He made your adopted sons your sons.
Such is (only) your (manner of) speech by your mouths. But Allah tells (you) the Truth and He
shows the (right) Way. 366936703671
3669 "Two hearts in his (one) breast": two inconsistent attitudes: such as serving Allah and Mammon; or subscribing to both
Truth and Superstition; or hypocritically pretending one thing and intending another. Such a thing is against Allah's
Law and Will. Apart from the condemnation of general hypocrisy, two pagan customs of the Times of Ignorance are
mentioned, and their iniquity pointed out. See the notes 3670 and 3671. (33.4)
33:32 - O Consorts of the Prophet! ye are not like any of the (other) women: if ye do fear (Allah) be not too
complaisant of speech lest one in whose heart is a disease should be moved with desire: but speak ye a
speech (that is) just. 37123713
33:70 - O ye who believe! fear Allah and (always) say a word directed to the Right:
3775
3775 We must not only speak the truth as far as we know it, but we must always try to hit the right point; i.e., we must not
speak unseasonably, and when we do speak, we must not beat about the bush, but go straight to that which is right, in
deed as well as in word. Then Allah will make our conduct right and cure any defects that there may be in our
knowledge and character. With our endeavour directed straight to the goal, we shall be forgiven our errors,
shortcomings, faults, and sins of the past. (33.70)
38:20 - We strengthened his kingdom and gave him wisdom and sound judgment in speech and
decision. 4170
4170 Cf. n. 2732 to xxi. 79 for David's sound judgment in decisions; he could also express himself aptly. (38.20)
