«مَنْ صَمَتَ نَجا» ..

Whosoever mums is saved.. [1]

The reason for this issue is clear, because most of sins areperformed by tongue. As Prophet S. A. says:

.

«انَّ اكْثَرَ خَطايَا ابْنِ آدَمَ فِي لِسانِهِ» ..

Most of man's mistakes are in his tongue.. [2]

And it is narrated from the Prophet in another tradition:

. «اخْزُنْ لِسانَكَ الّا مِنَ الْخَيْرِ فَانَّكَ بِذلِكَ تَغْلِبُ الشَّيْطانَ» ..

Keep your tongue save a good utterance and thereby you willovercome Satan.. [3]

«اذا رَأَيْتُمُ الْمُؤْمِنَ صَمُوتاً وَقُوراً فَادْنُوا مِنْهُ فَانَّهُ يُلْقِي الحِكْمَةَ» ..

When you find a believer silent and courtly, contact with himthat he teaches you wisdom.. [4]

And also it is narrated from Imam Ali A. S.

. «اذا تَمَّ الْعَقْلُ نَقَصَ الْكَلامُ» ..
