وعن أبي طلحة زيد بن سهل رضي الله عنه
قال: كنا قعودًا بالأفنية نتحدث فيها فجاء رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقالم علينا فقال: «ما لكم ولمجالس الصعدات؟ فقلنا: إنما قعدنا لغير ما بأس، قعدنا نتذاكر، ونتحدث. قال: «إما لا فأدوا حقها: غض البصر، ورد السلام، وحسن الكلام»
We were sitting and talking on a platform in front of our house when the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) stopped by us and said, “Why do you sit on roads? Avoid sitting in them.” We replied: “We sit there intending no harm. We only sit and discuss (religious) knowledge and talk.” He said, “If you have to sit, you should fulfill the rights of the road: Lower your gaze, respond to greetings and talk in a good manner.”.
