حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ كُنَّا قُعُودًا بِالأَفْنِيَةِ نَتَحَدَّثُ فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم 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 ‏"‏ .

Narrator: Abu Talha

English translation
Abu Talha reported: While we were sitting in front of the houses and talking amongst ourselves, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) happened to come there. He stood by us and said: What about you and your meetings on the paths? Avoid these meetings on the paths. We said: We were sitting here without (any intention of doing harm to the passers-by) ; we are sitting to discuss matters and to hold conversation amongst ourselves. Thereupon he said: If there is no help (for you but to sit on these paths), then give the paths their rights and these are lowering of the gaze, exchanging of greetings and good conversation
বাংলা অনুবাদ
আবূ বাকর ইবনু আবূ শাইবাহ্ (রহঃ) ..... ইসহাক ইবনু আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু আবূ তালহার আব্বা আবদুল্লাহ (রাযিঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমরা (গৃহের সম্মুখের উন্মুক্ত) উঠানে বসে গল্প-গুজব করতেছিলাম। তখন রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম আসলেন এবং আমাদের সম্মুখে দাঁড়িয়ে বললেন, রাস্তা-ঘাটে বসে বৈঠকে করা তোমাদের কি আচরণ? রাস্তাঘাটে মাজলিস করা তোমরা ছেড়ে দাও। আমরা বললাম, আমরা তো কাউকে কষ্ট দেয়ার উদ্দেশে বসিনি। আমরা বসে শলা-পরামর্শ ও আলোচনা করছি। তিনি বললেন, যদি তা না করলেই নয়, তাহলে রাস্তার হক আদায় করবে- আর তা হলো চোখ নিচু রাখা, সালামের উত্তর দেয়া এবং ভাল কথা বলা। (ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন ৫৪৬২, ইসলামিক সেন্টার)
