[Machine] He used to say, "Speak good to be known by it, and act upon it to become one of its people, and do not be hasty in scattering mischief."  

الزهد لأحمد:٨٨٦ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ وَغَيْرِهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ قُولُوا الْخَيْرَ تُعْرَفُوا بِهِ وَاعْمَلُوا بِهِ تَكُونُوا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ وَلَا تَكُونُوا عَجِلًا مَذَايِعَ بِذْرًا
