حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ : كُنَّا قُعُودًا بِالأَفْنِيَةِ نَتَحَدَّثُ ، فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَامَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ : مَا لَكُمْ وَلِمَجَالِسِ الصُّعُدَاتِ اجْتَنِبُوا مَجَالِسَ الصُّعُدَاتِ ، فَقُلْنَا إِنَّمَا قَعَدْنَا لِغَيْرِ مَا بَاسٍ قَعَدْنَا نَتَذَاكَرُ وَنَتَحَدَّثُ قَالَ : إِمَّا لاَ فَأَدُّوا حَقَّهَا غَضُّ الْبَصَرِ ، وَرَدُّ السَّلاَمِ ، وَحُسْنُ الْكَلاَمِ.

It was narrated from Ishaq bin ‘Abdullah bin Abi Talhah that his father said: “Abu Talhah said: ‘we were sitting in the courtyard, talking, when the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) came and stood with us, and said: “why are you sitting in the street? Avoid sitting in the streets.” We said: “We do not mean any harm; we are sitting and talking.” He said: “If you insist, then fulfill its rights lowering the gaze, returning Salam, and speaking well.”
