Abi Muhammad al-Vabeshi narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said
“If there is a bad omen in anything, it is in the tongue. Watch what you say just as you guard your properties. Avoid your selfish desires just as you avoid your enemies. For a man, nothing is more lethal than following his selfish desires and the results of what he says.”
عن أبي محمد الوابشي قال
سمعت أبا عبد الله (عليه السلام) يقول: إن كان الشؤم في شئ فهو في اللسان، فاخزنوا ألسنتكم كما تخزنون أموالكم، واحذروا أهواءكم كما تحذرون أعداءكم، فليس شئ أقتل للرجال من اتباع أهوائهم وحصائد ألسنتهم.
