"عن أبى طلحة، قال كنا جلوسا بالأفنية نتحدث فجاء رسول الله ﷺ ، فقال علينا، فقال: ما لكم وللمجالس بالصعدات، اجتنبوا مجالس الصعدات،

قلنا يا رسول الله إنا جلسنا لغير ما بأس، جلسنا نتذاكر ونتحدث قال: (اسأل فأدروا، (*) وفى لفظ) اعطوا المجالس حقها قلنا وما حقها؟ قال: "غض البصر ورد السلام وحسن الكلام".

While we were sitting in front of the houses and talking amongst ourselves, Messenger of Allah ﷺ happened to come there. He stood by us and said: What about you and your meetings on the paths? Avoid these meetings on the paths. We said: We were sitting here without (any intention of doing harm to the passers-by) ; we are sitting to discuss matters and to hold conversation amongst ourselves. Thereupon he said: If there is no help (for you but to sit on these paths), then give the paths their rights and these are lowering of the gaze, exchanging of greetings and good conversation.
