Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should not hurt his neighbor and whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should serve his guest generously and whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should speak what is good or keep silent."

The hadith above clarifies that in Islam, remaining silent is the second best option. Speaking good and kind words is the best option. As one of my teachers puts it, "in Islam, silence is silver, and not golden" and Allah knows best.


I hope this helps.
