2411. Ibn 'Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Do not talk too much without remembrance of Allāh. Indeed excessive talking without remembrance of Allāh hardens the heart. And indeed the furthest of people from Allāh is the harsh — hearted.” (Hasan) (Another chain) with a narration similar in meaning. [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is [Hasan] Gharīb, we do not know of it except from the narration of Ibrāhīm bin ‘Abdullāh bin Ḥāṭib.

٢٤١١ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي ثَلْجٍ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ صَاحِبُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ حَاطِبٍ ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تُكْثِرُوا الْكَلَامَ بِغَيْرِ ذِكْرِ اللهِ،» فَإِنَّ كَثْرَةَ الْكَلَامِ بِغَيْرِ ذِكْرِ اللهِ قَسْوَةٌ لِلْقَلْبِ، وَإِنَّ أَبْعَدَ النَّاسِ مِنَ اللهِ الْقَلْبُ الْقَاسِي. ٢٤١١ (م) - حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي النَّضْرِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ‌أَبُو النَّضْرِ ، عَنْ ‌إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ حَاطِبٍ ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، نَحْوَهُ بِمَعْنَاهُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ، لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ حَاطِبٍ.

Commentary

Anyone used to talking too much without making the remembrance of Allāh a part of his conversation, will have his heart hardened and devoid of all lustre and tender feelings. Fear of Allāh and submissiveness towards Him will not find a place in his heart. As a result, he will be deprived of Allāh’s mercy and closeness to Him
