Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A person's leaving of futile things is a sign of the goodness of his Islam." Imam Tabarani said: Muhammad bin Kathir bin Marwan is unique in narrating this report from Ibn al-Zinad, and we have transmitted it only from Muhammad bin Abdah, and the narration of Zayd bin Thabit is reported only with this chain, and Ibn Abi al-Zinad has another son whose kunyah is Abu al-Qasim and whose name is not mentioned, from whom Ahmad bin Hanbal has narrated.
