Muwatta Malik (Yahya) 1812 — What is Disliked in Speech Other Than
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِك، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ، أَنَّ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ، كَانَ يَقُولُ : لَا تُكْثِرُوا الْكَلَامَ بِغَيْرِ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ فَتَقْسُوَ قُلُوبُكُمْ، فَإِنَّ الْقَلْبَ الْقَاسِيَ بَعِيدٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ، وَلَكِنْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ وَلَا تَنْظُرُوا فِي ذُنُوبِ النَّاسِ كَأَنَّكُمْ أَرْبَاب، وَانْظُرُوا فِي ذُنُوبِكُمْ كَأَنَّكُمْ عَبِيدٌ، فَإِنَّمَا النَّاسُ مُبْتَلًى وَمُعَافًى فَارْحَمُوا أَهْلَ الْبَلَاءِ وَاحْمَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَى الْعَافِيَةِ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, was informed that Jesus, peace be upon him, said: Do not engage in idle talk except in the remembrance of Allah, lest your hearts become hardened, and a hardened heart is far from Allah, though you do not realize it. And do not look at the sins of others as if you are the Lord, but look at your own sins, considering yourself a servant, because among people there are all kinds: some are sick and some are healthy. So have mercy on the sick and thank Allah for your own well-being.
