4496 A favourite trick of those who wish to dishonour Revelation is, not only not to listen to it themselves, but to talk loudly<br />

and insolently when it is being read, so that even the true listeners may not be able to perform their devotions. They<br />

think that they are drowning the voice of Allah: in fact they are piling up misery for themselves in the future. For Allah's<br />

voice can never be silenced. (41.26)<br />

46:8 - Or do they say "He has forged it"? Say: "Had I forged it then can ye obtain no single<br />

(blessing) for me from Allah. He knows best of that whereof ye talk (so glibly)! Enough is He<br />

for a witness between me and you! And He is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful." 4781<br />

4781 'If I forged a message from myself as one purporting to come from Allah, you would not be able to see me enjoy any<br />

of the blessings from Allah which I enjoy: you would not see me calm and relying on Allah, nor would you see me bear<br />

the reputation of being a trustworthy man. A liar comes to an evil end. But what about those who talk so glibly and<br />

freely about things which they know not? Allah knows all and He is my witness! According to Ibn Kathir, the verse<br />

means that if the Prophet's claim to be Allah's messenger would have been a false one, he would have been stricken<br />

by a severe punishment from Allah and none had the power to avert that punishment. (46.8)<br />

49:2 - O ye who believe! raise not your voices above the voice of the Prophet nor speak aloud to<br />

him in talk as ye may speak aloud to one another lest your deeds become vain and ye<br />

perceive not. 49204921<br />

4920 It is bad manners to talk loudly before your Leader. Some ill-mannered people so raise their voices as to drown the<br />

voice of their Leader, in conversation or in Council. (49.2)<br />

4921 Such rudeness may even destroy the value of such services as they may otherwise have been able to render, and all<br />

this without their even realising the harm they were doing to the Cause. (49.2)<br />

70:42 - So leave them to plunge in vain talk and play about until they encounter that Day of theirs<br />

which they have been promised! 5703<br />

5703 Their talk, their sceptic<strong>ism</strong>, is vain, because all spiritual evidence is against it; it is like the foolish play of people who<br />

do not think seriously. But the tremendous Day of Judgment and Reality will come, as described in the next two<br />

verses. (70.42)<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 8.157 Narrated by<br />

Malik<br />

Similarly as above (156) adding, "Who believes in Allah and the Last Day should talk what is good or keep<br />

quiet." (i.e. abstain from dirty and evil talk, and should think before uttering).<br />

Fiqh-us-Sunnah<br />

Fiqh 1.17b<br />

One should not talk when going to the bathroom<br />

One should not respond to a greeting or repeat what the caller to prayer is saying. He may speak if there is some necessity<br />

(i.e., to guide a blind man who fears he may be harmed). If he sneezes, he should praise Allah to himself and simply move<br />

his lips (without making a sound). Ibn 'Umar related that a man passed by the Prophet, upon whom be peace, and greeted<br />

him while he (the Prophet) was urinating. The Prophet did not return his greeting. (This is related by "the group," except for al-<br />

Bukhari.) Abu Sa'eed reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, say, "Isn't it true that Allah<br />

detests those who converse while they relieve themselves?" This was related by Ahmad, Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah.<br />

This hadith seems to support the position that it is forbidden to talk. Many scholars, however, say that it is only disliked, not<br />

forbidden.<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 9.395 Narrated by<br />

Warrad<br />

(The clerk of Al-Mughira) Muawiya wrote to Al-Mughira: "Write to me what you have heard from Allah's Apostle." So he (Al-<br />

Mughira) wrote to him: Allah's Prophet used to say at the end of each prayer: "La ilaha illalla-h wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul<br />

Mulku, wa lahul Hamdu wa hula ala kulli shai'in qadir. 'Allahumma la mani' a lima a'taita, wala mu'tiya lima mana'ta, wala<br />

yanfa'u dhuljadd minkal-jadd." He also wrote to him that the Prophet used to forbid (1) Qil and Qal (idle useless talk or that<br />

you talk too much about others), (2) Asking too many questions (in disputed religious matters); (3) And wasting one's wealth<br />

by extravagance; (4) and to be undutiful to one's mother (5) and to bury the daughters alive (6) and to prevent your favors<br />

(benevolence) to others (i.e. not to pay the rights of others) (7) And asking others for something (except when it is<br />

unavoidable).<br />
