This tongue is indeed a key of good and a key of evil.

This tongue is indeed a key of good and a key of evil. So set a seal on your mouth, the way you set a seal on your gold and on your papers. 'O Seeker of knowledge!

These are the examples Allah has set forth for people and none can understand them but the learned ones." The Best Virtues He said: And with the preceding chains of narration, from ‘Ali ibn Mahzyar, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from al-Nadhr ibn Suwaid, from Ibn Sinan, from Abu Abdillah Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq, peace be upon them both, who said: The Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny, in his address to the people, said: "May I not inform you about the best virtues in this world and the next?

(They are): to forgive one who wronged you, to make amends with the kins who severed relations with you, to oblige one who harmed you, to give to one who refused you.

And (remember), hatred and mutual enmity is a remover, and I do not mean a remover (shaver) of hair; but a remover of faith." Avoid being deluded And with the preceding chains of narration, from ‘Ali ibn Mahzyar, from Fadhalah ibn Ayub, from Abdullah ibn Zaid, from Ibn Abi Ya'foor who said: Abu Abdillah Ja'far ibn Muhammad, peace be upon both, told me: "Let not people delude you against yourself, for that which is your fate shall reach you in spite of them!

And let not the days prevent you from this and that, for surely, with you is the One Who protects you! And do not belittle your little good deeds, for you shall see them tomorrow in a form, which will please you. And do not underestimate your little evil deeds, for you shall see them tomorrow in a form, which will grieve you. Do good deeds, for I have seen nothing quicker in pursuit of an old sin, so as to blot it out, than the good deed.

Surely, Allah says (in the Qur'an): 'Indeed, good deeds carry away the evil deeds; and that is a reminder for those who remember Allah.' (Hud, 11:114)" Fulfil your duties And with the preceding chains of narration from ‘Ali ibn Mahzyar, from Fadhalah ibn Ayub from Ajlan Abu Swaleh, who said: Abu Abdillah, Ja'far ibn Muhammad, peace be upon both told me: "Be just with people in your personal matters and let them have a share in your wealth. Choose for them what you choose for yourself!

And remember Allah constantly; never be lazy nor feel bored; surely, that is what my father taught me and that is what his father counseled him. Similarly, if you feel lazy about the late night prayers, you will not be able to fulfil to Allah His right.
