The meaning of approach (to sex), impiety and arguing

۞
1. We were told by my father, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Isa, from Hasan bin Ali bin Faddal, from Abu Jamela, Mufaddal bin Saleh, from Zaid al-Shahham, that he said
I asked Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, about approach (to sex), impiety and arguing. He said: As for approach (to sex), it is sexual intercourse, and as for impiety, it is lying. Do you not hear the saying of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He: «O you who have believed, if an impious comes to you with news, then investigate from having accused a people out of ignorance.» (49:6) Arguing is the saying of a man: «No, by Allah» and «Sure, by Allah», and the verbal insult of a man to another man.
حدثنا أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن الحسن بن علي بن فضال، عن أبي جميلة المفضل بن صالح، عن زيد الشحام، قال
سألت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام عن الرفث والفسوق والجدال. قال: أما الرفث فالجماع، وأما الفسوق فهو الكذب، ألا تسمع قول الله عز وجل: " يا أيها الذين آمنوا إن جاءكم فاسق بنبأ فتبينوا أن تصيبوا قوما بجهالة " ؟ والجدال هو قول الرجل: لا والله، وبلى والله، وسباب الرجل الرجل.
