He who is pure in his deeds is pure in his tongue
Whoever confuses will confuse him

Whoever counts his words as part of his actions, his words will be less
He also said, may God have mercy on him
Doctors unanimously agree that the head of medicine is diet
The wise men agreed that the beginning of wisdom is silence

And what he taught you
He said: I saw him being conservative in his logic

If the mind is complete, speech will decrease

The hadith is true
However, no one was safe from his words
So his talk and mention went away
Al-Muwaffaq bin Qudamah, may God have mercy on him, said on the authority of one of the scholars of his time:
Who is afflicted with tracking people's faults
Especially knowledgeable and righteous people
I thought that in the fatwa he would give precedence to his father and others
Until I saw other fatwas from him in which there was a better and more correct answer
I thought he was afflicted with that
Because of his love, people make mistakes
And his followers have their faults
It is not far-fetched for God to punish the servant for his sin
He occupied much of his time responding to people's comments
Reveal what is hidden from their sins
And love to point out their shortcomings
The servant does not attain the truth of faith
So that he loves for people what he loves for himself
Do you think he loves for himself after his death?
Who stands up to reveal his failures?
And his classifications are flawed and his mistakes are exposed
And he doesn't like it for himself
He should not like it for anyone else
Especially for advanced imams
And prominent scholars
God Almighty showed him a sign in his departure from the truth
In things that appear to those below him
A life of peace between words and deeds
