In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
The life of the predecessors between words and deeds
Preserving the tongue
Protecting the tongue from speaking against God without knowledge
Piety in youth and narration from the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace.
Al-Qasim Ibn Muhammad, may God have mercy on him, said
Because a man lives ignorant after knowing God’s rights over him
It is better for him than to say what he does not know
By God, we do not know everything you ask about
If we had known, we would not have concealed it from you
There is no solution for us to silence you
On the authority of Ibn al-Munkadir, may God have mercy on him, he said:
The world enters between God and His servants
Let him find a way out for himself
Al-Rabi’ Ibn Khathim, may God have mercy on him, said
Let one of you beware of saying that God has permitted such-and-such and forbidden such-and-such
Then God says: You lied
I did not permit such-and-such, nor did I prohibit such-and-such
Sahnoun, may God have mercy on him, was asked
Can the world say I don't know what he knows?
He said: As for what is in the book or established Sunnah, then no
As for what this opinion was
He can do that
Because he does not know whether he is right or wrong
On the authority of Zubaid Al-Yami, he said:
I did not ask Ibrahim Al-Nakhai, may God have mercy on him, about anything
Except I knew the hatred in his face
He says I hope you will be
Al-A'mash, may God have mercy on him, said
I never heard Ibrahim Al-Nakha'i say Qatah
Halal or haram?
But he was saying
They hated it and they loved it
On the authority of Ibn Mahdi, he said:
A man asked Malik bin Anas, may God have mercy on him, about his issue
He said, “It is not the best.”
The man said
I sent you such-and-such to ask you about it
Malik said to him
So if you return to your place and position
So tell them I told you
Not the best
On the authority of Ibn Wahb, he said:
If I wished, I could fill myself with revelations from the words of Malik bin Anas, may God have mercy on him
I don't know I did
He said, may God have mercy on him
It was not a matter of people
Nor any of our predecessors
I did not realize anyone to follow
He says about something: this is permissible and this is forbidden
They did not dare to do so
But they were saying
We hate this and see this as okay
This should be done
We don't see this
They do not say halal or haram
Did you not hear what God Almighty said?
Say, “Have you seen what God has sent down to you of provision?”
So you made it forbidden and permissible
Say, “Oh, God has given you permission.”
Or do you invent anything against God?
What is permissible is what God and His Messenger have made permissible
Forbidden is what God and His Messenger have forbidden
A man asked Imam Ahmed, may God have mercy on him
He said to him, “Ask the one who knows. Ask the one who knows.”
Abu Sahl Muhammad bin Omar narrated
About some of the sheikhs of Balkh
He said I entered Baghdad
And if a man was on the bridge calling for three days, saying:
Except that Judge Ahmed bin Amran Al-Khasafa, may God have mercy on him
I ask a question about such and such issue
He replied with such and such
And it's wrong
The answer is such and such
May God have mercy on whoever conveyed it to its owner
Taqi al-Din bin Abdul Qadir al-Tamimi al-Ghazi, may God have mercy on him, said
Commenting on this story
This is how scientists should be
Thus, there must be reservation in the religion of God
And advice to the servants of God
Sheikh Atiya Salem said
On the authority of his sheikh, the scholar Muhammad al-Amin al-Shanqeeti, may God have mercy on them
It was noticed in his last years
His distance from fatwas
And if the bird says
I am not responsible for anything
Scientists say such and such
I once asked him about that
And he said
A person is in good health as long as he is not afflicted
And the question is afflicted
Because you are talking about God
You do not know whether you will comply with God’s judgment or not
Unless there is a definitive text from the Book of God on it
Or the Sunnah of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
It must be reserved
It is represented by the poet's words
If you kill something knowingly, say so
And do not say something that you are ignorant of
Who would love to see a leader?
I don't know if his fighter was injured
Preserving the tongue from speaking about what does not mean it
He entered Abu Dujana, may God be pleased with him, while he was sick
His face beams
And he said
There is nothing I am more confident in doing than two things
I did not speak about what did not concern me
My heart for Muslims was healthy
Some predecessors said
Whoever costs what does not concern him
Lose what it means
Al-Fudayl bin Iyad, may God have mercy on him, said
You spoke about what did not concern you
So distract yourself from what concerns you
Even if it's your job, it doesn't matter to you
Leave what doesn't concern you
Imam Malik, may God have mercy on him, said
A man is not fit until he abandons what does not concern him
If so
Or he doubted that God would open his heart
Marufni Al-Karkhi, may God have mercy on him, said
The servant's talk about what does not concern him
A disappointment from God Almighty
The words of the Salaf about preferring silence over speech sometimes
And vice versa
On the authority of Ubaidullah bin Abi Jaafar, may God have mercy on him, he said:
If one happens in a council
He liked the conversation
Let him hold on
And if he is silent
He liked the silence
Let him speak
Malik bin Dinar, may God have mercy on him, said
Patience is silence
Silence is patience
The speaker is not more pious than the silent one
Except a learned man who speaks in his place
And he stays silent in his place
Preserving the tongue from slurring speech
Ibrahim bin Mahdi said to Abdullah bin Saed
Writer, may God have mercy on them
Beware of immoral speech
Hoping to gain eloquence
For that is the greatest consciousness
You do what is easy
While avoiding inferior words
Whose absence is permissible?
Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, said
The immoral person has no sanctity
On the authority of Al-Hasan Al-Basri, may God have mercy on him, he said:
Three have no backbiting
The traitorous imam
And the owner of desires who calls for desires
And the declared immoral person is his immorality
On the authority of Ibrahim al-Taymi, may God have mercy on him, he said:
Three have no backbiting
The unjust and the immoral
And the owner of innovation
He also said, may God have mercy on him
They did not see it as backbiting
Unless its owner is named
Preserving the tongue from breaking a promise
When Abdullah bin Omar, may God be pleased with them both, attended his death, he said
A man from the Quraish had proposed to my daughter
It was like a promise from me to him
By God, God did not cast the trout of hypocrisy
Bear witness that I married her to him
On the authority of Shu`bah, may God have mercy on him, he said:
I never dated Ayoub Al-Sakhtiani, may God have mercy on him
Except he told me when he wanted to leave me
I don't have a date with you
When I came, I found that he had preceded me
Preserving the tongue from looseness and sharpness
Some predecessors said
People did not speak harsh words
Unless there is a word next to it that is softer than it
Its fragmentation is fragmented
Abu Al-Aaliyah, may God have mercy on him, said
God Almighty said in the covenant that He took from the Children of Israel
And tell people well
That is, tell them kind words
Reward them with the best way you would like to be rewarded
Preserving the tongue from asking about what did not happen
One day a man came to Ibn Omar, may God be pleased with them both
So he asked him about something, I don't know what it is
Ibn Omar said to him
Don't ask what wasn't
For I heard Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him
Cursed be he who asks about what did not happen
Omar, may God be pleased with him, said on the pulpit
I am embarrassed by God for a man who asked about something that did not happen
God has made clear what is
Other benefits
On the authority of Abu Darda, may God be pleased with him, he said
There is nothing in a believer more beloved to God Almighty than his tongue
With it he will enter Paradise
There is nothing in an infidel more hateful to God Almighty than his tongue
With it he enters the fire
Abu Hazem, may God have mercy on him, said
The believer should
To be more careful with his tongue than the place of my feet
On the authority of Ibn Uyaynah, may God have mercy on him, he said:
Hakim found people talking
He stood over them and greeted them and said
They spoke the words of a people who knew that God would hear their words
And the angels write
Yahya Ibn Muadh, may God have mercy on him, said
Hearts are like pots in the chest, boiling with what is in them
And their ladles are their tongues
He waited for the man to speak
His tongue reveals to you what is in his heart
Between sweet and sour, sweet and bitter
He tells you about the taste of his heart and the taste of his tongue
Some wise men said to his sons
Fix your tongues
The man is replaced by a female representative
He borrows his brother's animal and his brother's clothing
He finds no one to lend his tongue to him
A life of peace between words and deeds
