Hadrat Zayd ibn Thaabit (ra), Session 12 The Scribe of The Quran "Hadrat Zayd ibn Thaabit (ra) once wrote to Hadrat Ubayy ibn Ka'ab (ra) saying, "Verily Allah (SWT) has made the tongue an interpreter for the heart and has made the heart a treasure chest and a shepherd - Thus silence is a veil for the ignorant and beauty for the scholars. The tongue therefore follows the instructions of the heart and as long as the heart remains in charge of the tongue, the speech emerging from the tongue will be pleasant and correct - the tongue will then make no slip-ups and blunders. There is however no tolerating a person whose heart does not lead his tongue. When a person leaves his tongue to do the talking without conforming with the dictates of the heart, he cuts off his nose (ie embarrases himself). (A persons heart can never be upright until his tongue his upright.) However when he weighs his words and his actions, his words will always be true. Every miser you see is generous with words but stingy with action
