The Holy Quran 23:3 — Surah Al-Mu'minun

Arabic text

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنِ ٱللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُونَ

Translation

...who turn away from futility (talk and acts that have no benefit)...

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Turning away from idle talk: that is, they do not waste their time on vain and useless pursuits; if someone else says something idle and worthless, they turn their faces away from it. The duties of servanthood [to Allah] leave them no leisure to entangle themselves in such pointless quarrels.
