adab:297

Warrad, the scribe of al-Mughira ibn Shu'ba, said, "Mu'awiya wrote to al-Mughira ibn Shu'ba, saying, 'Write down for me something which you heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.' Al-Mughira wrote to him, ' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to forbid gossip, wasting money, asking too many questions, refusing to give, disobedience to parents, and burying daughters alive."

كَتَبَ مُعَاوِيَةُ إِلَى الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ أَنِ اكْتُبْ إِلَيَّ بِشَيْءٍ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ الْمُغِيرَةُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَنْهَى عَنْ قِيلَ وَقَالَ وَإِضَاعَةِ الْمَالِ وَكَثْرَةِ السُّؤَالِ وَعَنْ مَنْعٍ وَهَاتِ وَعُقُوقِ الأُمَّهَاتِ وَعَنْ وَأْدِ الْبَنَاتِ

Mu'awiya wrote to Mughira: Write for me something which you heard from Messenger of Allah ﷺ ; and he wrote: I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying. Verily Allah disapproves three thingq for you: irrelevant talk, wasting of wealth and persistent questioning.
