idle talk in speech is that which is not considered significant, and it is what is uttered without thoughtful consideration, resembling the chirping of birds and similar sounds. Abū ʿUbaydah said: "laghw and laghā, like ʿayb and ʿāb." And he recited to them: "from idle talk and obscene words," it is said: "laghaytu talghā, like laqītu talqā," and every ugly speech may be called idle talk. I said: In the ḥadīth, there is a warning against neglecting a high etiquette of conversation and social gatherings, which is not to interrupt others while they are speaking. Rather, one should listen until they finish speaking, even if one is the leader of the group, and then speak in turn if one wishes. This is more conducive to gaining benefit from the exchange of speech between the parties, especially if it is in a scholarly religious discussion. Unfortunately, most debaters have neglected this etiquette, so we draw their attention to it. May Allāh, the Exalted, teach us all the etiquette of His Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam).

- "The Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) would go out on the day of Eid al-Fiṭr and say the takbīr until he reached the prayer area, and until he completed the prayer. When he completed the prayer, he would stop saying the takbīr." It was recorded by Ibn Abī Shaybah in "al-Muṣannaf" (2/1/2): "Yazīd ibn Hārūn narrated to us from Ibn Abī Dhīb from al-Zuhrī: 'that the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) used to...' the ḥadīth."
