Urdu Translation

ابوظبیہ کا بیان ہے کہ عمرو بن العاص نے ایک دن کہا   اور ( اس سے پہلے ) ایک شخص کھڑے ہو کر بے تحاشہ بولے جا رہا تھا، اس پر عمرو نے کہا: اگر وہ بات میں درمیانی روش اپناتا تو اس کے لیے بہتر ہوتا، میں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو فرماتے سنا: مجھے مناسب معلوم ہوتا ہے یا مجھے حکم ہوا ہے کہ میں گفتگو میں اختصار سے کام یعنی جتنی بات کافی ہو اسی پر اکتفا کروں اس لیے کہ اختصار ہی بہتر روش ہے۔

English Translation
