The Meaning of the Saying: “Trials are tied to speech”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is the saying “Trials are tied to speech” a hadith or an athar? What is its meaning? May Allah preserve you.
Answer:
To clarify what is meant by the hadith: it is a piece of wisdom that circulates among the people. “Trials are tied to speech” means that a person should not say something disliked, lest he be tested with it. This is what happened to that Companion who came to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, “If I find such and such with my wife…” and then he was tested with it. So a person should avoid disliked speech so that he is not tested with it. May Allah grant you well-being. Yes.
