۞
Imam Ali (AS) said, Never say that which conforms to your vain desire, even if you say it playfully or assume it to be idle talk, for many a playful talk may alienate a freeman from you and [many] an idle talk may bring evil [consequences] upon you.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : لاتَقُولَنَّ ما يُوافِقُ هَواكَ وَ إنْ قُلْتَهُ لَهْواً أوْ خِلْتَهُ لَغْواً فَرُبَّ لَهْو يُوحِشُ مِنْكَ حَرّاً وَ لَغْو يَجلُبُ عَلَيْكَ شَرّاً
