Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 4|Book 2|Chapter 6
عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:» لَيْسَ اَلصِّيَامُ مِنَ اَلطَّعَامِ وَ اَلشَّرَابِ وَ اَلْإِنْسَانُ يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَحْفَظَ لِسَانَهُ مِنَ اَللَّغْوِ اَلْبَاطِلِ فِي رَمَضَانَ وَ غَيْرِهِ«.
Ali ibn Mahziyar, from al-Hasan, from al-Qasim, from Ali, from Abu Basir, who said:
Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, said: “Fasting is not from food and drink, and a person ought to guard his tongue from vain false speech in (month of) Ramadan and other than it.”
