This is the tongue of their state, and it is in *** the hearts, sealed by concealment (The difference between the tongue of the state and the tongue of speech)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"This is the tongue of their state"
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) made a distinction, when he mentioned that they say such and such, he said:
"This is the tongue of their state" meaning: they did not say it with their tongues, but this is the tongue of their state.
The difference between the tongue of the state and the tongue of speech is that speech is the utterance of the tongue, while the state is the evidence of circumstances; the evidence of circumstances is the tongue of the state, whereas the tongue of speech is the utterance with the tongue. For this reason, he said:
"This is the tongue of their state, and it is in *** the hearts, sealed by concealment"
What is the heart? The hearts. "Sealed by concealment" means it is held back and prevented by concealment, so they do not state it openly.
