The Importance of Mindful Speech in the Pursuit of Knowledge
Don't talk too much!
Some of the Salaf would refrain from accepting narrations from certain narrators due to their excessive talking
Al-'Aquyli narrated in "Aḍ-Ḍu'afā" with a strong chain of transmission, that:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِلْحَكَمِ: مَا لَكَ لَمْ تَحْمِلْ عَنْ زَاذَانَ؟ قَالَ: كَانَ كَثِيرَ الْكَلَامِ.
Muḥammad ibn 'Isa narrated to us, saying: 'Amr ibn 'Ali narrated to us, saying: Umayyah ibn Khālid narrated to us, saying: Shu'bah narrated to us, saying: I said to Al-Ḥakam, "Why did you not take narrations from Zādhān?" He replied, "He was excessively talkative."
