Oh the tongue ...

There is no price of flesh more beloved to Allah than a truthful tongue, and there is no piece of flesh more hateful to Allah than a lying tongue. -Fudhayl ibn al-Iyadh via Islam 2011

Watch your tongue: the ignorant person`s heart is behind his tongue ...

“Watch your tongue; Words can cut deeper than a knife, and their memory lingers longer than a scab. The intelligent person’s tongue is behind his heart; when he wants to speak, he thinks first. The ignorant person’s heart is behind his tongue; when he wants to think, he speaks first.”

— Hasan al-Basri
