Nonsensical / Futile Talk

“Not a word is spoken but by it there is a watchful guard.” (Qur’aan)

Maalik Bin Dinaar Rahmatullah alaih said:

“Nonsensical talk hardens the heart of man; it makes his body lethargic and the means of Rizq (livelihood) become constricted.”

Yunus Bin Ubaid Rahmatullah alaih said:

“To refrain from one futile statement is more difficult than to fast a whole day.”

Wahb Bin Al-Ward Rahmatullah alai said:

“Aafiyat (safety) consists of ten parts. Nine parts are confined to silence and one part to dissociation from people.”

Hadhrat Yahya Bin Muaaz Rahmatullah alaih said:

“When the soul becomes silent, the limbs become activated with piety.”
