Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner is seeking advice on how to get rid of excessive talking.
Answer:
Yes? He is seeking advice on how to get rid of excessive talking. That is, he has a lot of talk; he talks a lot. The cure for this is the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). He should increase his remembrance of Allah and leave off the excessive talking and chattering that has no benefit or that contains evil. He should hold his tongue. Your tongue is in your power; you can hold your tongue. Yes, the one who cannot hold his tongue is either a madman who has no mind, or a fool who was not created with a mind, or a madman who has been struck with madness. As for the sane person to whom Allah has granted a mind, he controls his tongue.
