00:12:03,149 --> 00:12:07,759 On the authority of Ibn Uyaynah, may God have mercy on him, he said: 203 00:12:07,759 --> 00:12:11,759 Hakim found people talking 204 00:12:11,759 --> 00:12:15,759 He stood over them and greeted them and said 205 00:12:15,759 --> 00:12:21,759 They spoke the words of a people who knew that God would hear their words 206 00:12:21,759 --> 00:12:24,759 And the angels write 207 00:12:24,759 --> 00:12:28,179 Yahya Ibn Muadh, may God have mercy on him, said 208 00:12:28,179 --> 00:12:33,179 Hearts are like pots in the chest, boiling with what is in them 209 00:12:33,179 --> 00:12:36,179 And their ladles are their tongues 210 00:12:36,179 --> 00:12:40,179 He waited for the man to speak 211 00:12:40,179 --> 00:12:44,179 His tongue reveals to you what is in his heart 212 00:12:44,179 --> 00:12:48,179 Between sweet and sour, sweet and bitter 213 00:12:48,179 --> 00:12:52,179 He tells you about the taste of his heart and the taste of his tongue 214 00:12:52,179 --> 00:12:55,620 Some wise men said to his sons 215 00:12:55,620 --> 00:12:58,620 Fix your tongues 216 00:12:58,620 --> 00:13:01,620 The man is replaced by a female representative 217 00:13:01,620 --> 00:13:05,620 He borrows his brother's animal and his brother's clothing 218 00:13:05,620 --> 00:13:08,620 He finds no one to lend his tongue to him 219 00:13:08,620 --> 00:13:17,019 A life of peace between words and deeds
