The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Qais b. Abi Gharazah through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. This version has: "Lying and swearing have a place on i"'.Abd Allah al-Zuhri said: "Unprofitable speech and lying".
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ also taught us that it is better to remain silent than to speak unbeneficial words which could cause harm or distress for others. He said “Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day let him speak good or remain silent” [Bukhari]. This hadith reminds us of the importance of being mindful of our speech at all times so that we can maintain a positive environment for ourselves and those around us.
