The life of the predecessors between words and deeds

Preserving the tongue

Protecting the tongue from speaking against God without knowledge
0:18
Piety in youth and narration from the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace.
0:24
Al-Qasim Ibn Muhammad, may God have mercy on him, said
0:29
Because a man lives ignorant after knowing God’s rights over him
0:34
It is better for him than to say what he does not know
0:38
By God, we do not know everything you ask about
0:42
If we had known, we would not have concealed it from you
0:45
There is no solution for us to silence you
0:48
On the authority of Ibn al-Munkadir, may God have mercy on him, he said:
0:52
The world enters between God and His servants
0:57
Let him find a way out for himself
1:00
Al-Rabi’ Ibn Khathim, may God have mercy on him, said
1:05
Let one of you beware of saying that God has permitted such-and-such and forbidden such-and-such
1:10
Then God says: You lied
1:13
I did not permit such-and-such, nor did I prohibit such-and-such
1:17
Sahnoun, may God have mercy on him, was asked
1:20
Can the world say I don't know what he knows?
1:25
He said: As for what is in the book or established Sunnah, then no
1:31
As for what this opinion was
1:34
He can do that
1:36
Because he does not know whether he is right or wrong
1:40
On the authority of Zubaid Al-Yami, he said:
1:44
I did not ask Ibrahim Al-Nakhai, may God have mercy on him, about anything
1:49
Except I knew the hatred in his face
1:52
He says I hope you will be
1:56
Al-A'mash, may God have mercy on him, said
1:59
I never heard Ibrahim Al-Nakha'i say Qatah
2:03
Halal or haram?
2:05
But he was saying
2:07
They hated it and they loved it
2:11
On the authority of Ibn Mahdi, he said:
2:14
A man asked Malik bin Anas, may God have mercy on him, about his issue
2:19
He said, “It is not the best.”
2:22
The man said
2:24
I sent you such-and-such to ask you about it
2:29
Malik said to him
2:31
So if you return to your place and position
2:34
So tell them I told you
2:37
Not the best
2:39
On the authority of Ibn Wahb, he said:
2:41
If I wished, I could fill myself with revelations from the words of Malik bin Anas, may God have mercy on him
2:47
I don't know I did
2:51
He said, may God have mercy on him
2:53
It was not a matter of people
2:55
Nor any of our predecessors
2:58
I did not realize anyone to follow
3:01
He says about something: this is permissible and this is forbidden
3:05
They did not dare to do so
3:09
But they were saying
3:11
We hate this and see this as okay
3:15
This should be done
3:17
We don't see this
3:19
They do not say halal or haram
3:22
Did you not hear what God Almighty said?
3:25
Say, “Have you seen what God has sent down to you of provision?”
3:30
So you made it forbidden and permissible
3:34
Say, “Oh, God has given you permission.”
3:38
Or do you invent anything against God?
3:40
What is permissible is what God and His Messenger have made permissible
3:44
Forbidden is what God and His Messenger have forbidden
3:48
A man asked Imam Ahmed, may God have mercy on him
3:52
He said to him, “Ask the one who knows. Ask the one who knows.”
3:58
Abu Sahl Muhammad bin Omar narrated
4:02
About some of the sheikhs of Balkh
4:04
He said I entered Baghdad
4:07
And if a man was on the bridge calling for three days, saying:
4:12
Except that Judge Ahmed bin Amran Al-Khasafa, may God have mercy on him
4:17
I ask a question about such and such issue
4:20
He replied with such and such
4:22
And it's wrong
4:24
The answer is such and such
4:26
May God have mercy on whoever conveyed it to its owner
4:30
Taqi al-Din bin Abdul Qadir al-Tamimi al-Ghazi, may God have mercy on him, said
4:36
Commenting on this story
4:39
This is how scientists should be
4:42
Thus, there must be reservation in the religion of God
4:46
And advice to the servants of God
4:49
Sheikh Atiya Salem said
4:53
On the authority of his sheikh, the scholar Muhammad al-Amin al-Shanqeeti, may God have mercy on them
4:58
It was noticed in his last years
5:02
His distance from fatwas
5:05
And if the bird says
5:07
I am not responsible for anything
5:10
Scientists say such and such
5:14
I once asked him about that
5:16
And he said
5:18
A person is in good health as long as he is not afflicted
5:22
And the question is afflicted
5:24
Because you are talking about God
5:26
You do not know whether you will comply with God’s judgment or not
5:30
Unless there is a definitive text from the Book of God on it
5:34
Or the Sunnah of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
5:38
It must be reserved
5:40
It is represented by the poet's words
5:43
If you kill something knowingly, say so
5:47
And do not say something that you are ignorant of
5:51
Who would love to see a leader?
5:55
I don't know if his fighter was injured
5:59
Preserving the tongue from speaking about what does not mean it
6:05
He entered Abu Dujana, may God be pleased with him, while he was sick
6:12
His face beams
6:15
And he said
6:16
There is nothing I am more confident in doing than two things
6:21
I did not speak about what did not concern me
6:24
My heart for Muslims was healthy
6:28
Some predecessors said
6:30
Whoever costs what does not concern him
6:33
Lose what it means
6:35
Al-Fudayl bin Iyad, may God have mercy on him, said
6:39
You spoke about what did not concern you
6:42
So distract yourself from what concerns you
6:45
Even if it's your job, it doesn't matter to you
6:47
Leave what doesn't concern you
6:50
Imam Malik, may God have mercy on him, said
6:53
A man is not fit until he abandons what does not concern him
6:58
If so
7:00
Or he doubted that God would open his heart
7:03
Marufni Al-Karkhi, may God have mercy on him, said
7:07
The servant's talk about what does not concern him
7:11
A disappointment from God Almighty
7:14
The words of the Salaf about preferring silence over speech sometimes
7:21
And vice versa
7:22
On the authority of Ubaidullah bin Abi Jaafar, may God have mercy on him, he said:
7:28
If one happens in a council
7:31
He liked the conversation
7:33
Let him hold on
7:34
And if he is silent
7:36
He liked the silence
7:38
Let him speak
7:40
Malik bin Dinar, may God have mercy on him, said
7:45
Patience is silence
7:47
Silence is patience
7:49
The speaker is not more pious than the silent one
7:53
Except a learned man who speaks in his place
7:57
And he stays silent in his place
7:59
Preserving the tongue from slurring speech
8:06
Ibrahim bin Mahdi said to Abdullah bin Saed
8:10
Writer, may God have mercy on them
8:13
Beware of immoral speech
8:16
Hoping to gain eloquence
8:19
For that is the greatest consciousness
8:22
You do what is easy
8:24
While avoiding inferior words
8:31
Whose absence is permissible?
8:33
Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, said
8:37
The immoral person has no sanctity
8:40
On the authority of Al-Hasan Al-Basri, may God have mercy on him, he said:
8:44
Three have no backbiting
8:47
The traitorous imam
8:49
And the owner of desires who calls for desires
8:53
And the declared immoral person is his immorality
8:57
On the authority of Ibrahim al-Taymi, may God have mercy on him, he said:
9:01
Three have no backbiting
9:04
The unjust and the immoral
9:07
And the owner of innovation
9:09
He also said, may God have mercy on him
9:12
They did not see it as backbiting
9:15
Unless its owner is named
9:19
Preserving the tongue from breaking a promise
9:24
When Abdullah bin Omar, may God be pleased with them both, attended his death, he said
9:30
A man from the Quraish had proposed to my daughter
9:34
It was like a promise from me to him
9:38
By God, God did not cast the trout of hypocrisy
9:42
Bear witness that I married her to him
9:46
On the authority of Shu`bah, may God have mercy on him, he said:
9:50
I never dated Ayoub Al-Sakhtiani, may God have mercy on him
9:55
Except he told me when he wanted to leave me
9:59
I don't have a date with you
10:02
When I came, I found that he had preceded me
10:08
Preserving the tongue from looseness and sharpness
10:12
Some predecessors said
10:15
People did not speak harsh words
10:18
Unless there is a word next to it that is softer than it
10:23
Its fragmentation is fragmented
10:25
Abu Al-Aaliyah, may God have mercy on him, said
10:28
God Almighty said in the covenant that He took from the Children of Israel
10:34
And tell people well
10:37
That is, tell them kind words
10:40
Reward them with the best way you would like to be rewarded
10:45
Preserving the tongue from asking about what did not happen
10:51
One day a man came to Ibn Omar, may God be pleased with them both
10:56
So he asked him about something, I don't know what it is
11:00
Ibn Omar said to him
11:02
Don't ask what wasn't
11:05
For I heard Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him
11:09
Cursed be he who asks about what did not happen
11:13
Omar, may God be pleased with him, said on the pulpit
11:18
I am embarrassed by God for a man who asked about something that did not happen
11:23
God has made clear what is
11:27
Other benefits
11:31
On the authority of Abu Darda, may God be pleased with him, he said
11:36
There is nothing in a believer more beloved to God Almighty than his tongue
11:41
With it he will enter Paradise
11:44
There is nothing in an infidel more hateful to God Almighty than his tongue
11:49
With it he enters the fire
11:52
Abu Hazem, may God have mercy on him, said
11:56
The believer should
11:58
To be more careful with his tongue than the place of my feet
12:03
On the authority of Ibn Uyaynah, may God have mercy on him, he said:
12:07
Hakim found people talking
12:11
He stood over them and greeted them and said
12:15
They spoke the words of a people who knew that God would hear their words
12:21
And the angels write
12:24
Yahya Ibn Muadh, may God have mercy on him, said
12:28
Hearts are like pots in the chest, boiling with what is in them
12:33
And their ladles are their tongues
12:36
He waited for the man to speak
12:40
His tongue reveals to you what is in his heart
12:44
Between sweet and sour, sweet and bitter
12:48
He tells you about the taste of his heart and the taste of his tongue
12:52
Some wise men said to his sons
12:55
Fix your tongues
12:58
The man is replaced by a female representative
13:01
He borrows his brother's animal and his brother's clothing
13:05
He finds no one to lend his tongue to him
13:08
A life of peace between words and deeds
