Surely the tongue is the thing which wields the most authority over a person. Be aware that everything that servant speaks is against him, except for the remembrance of Allah, the High, or the commanding of others to that which is right or preventing them from that which is evil, or setting the affair right between two believers.” One of the companions named Ma'adh b. Jabal said, “O' Messenger of Allah!

Will we be held accountable for that which we speak?” The Prophet replied, “Is there anything else except an active tongue of a person that will lead him into the hell fire?

So then whoever seeks safety (from the fire), then let him protect that which comes out from his tongue.”[^1] In this tradition, the Prophet (S) alluded to some issues regarding the tongue[^2] and has stated that, “May Allah's mercy be upon that servant whom people can benefit from his speech and who observes silence in order to stay safe and protected.” In this part of the tradition, there are two important issues which we must mention: More than anything else which is within the body of a person, it is the tongue which rules and controls one.

The peculiarities that exist and which are limited to that person who has a tongue can not be seen in any other body part nor in any other creation. a. The tongue is always at the disposal of the person.
