Shaykh Sālih al-Fawzān (حفظه الله ورعاه)
‘Umar b. Al-Khattāb once entered upon Abū Bakr – Allāh be pleased with them both – and found him pulling at his tongue. He said, “Oh, what are you doing?” Abū Bakr replied, “It is this (i.e my speech) that has brought me so much trouble.”
Mālik, Al-Muatta 2:988
It is reported that ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr b. Al-ʿĀs – Allāh be pleased with them – said:
Leave alone what you have nothing to do with, and do not speak about what does not concern you, and secure your tongue like you secure your money.
[Ibn Ḥibbān Al-Bustī, Rawḍatu Al-ʿUqalāʾ 1:55]
