Question:
Is the following phrase, "whoever knows the language of a people is safe from their treachery," a hadith, or is it from the ordinary speech of people? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
This is repeated on the tongues of people; it is not a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Rather, it is a saying that is uttered. And its meaning is not correct.
