The Shaykh : And as for the second chapter, it is: "Silence until night": and they in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah) would worship Allah (Mighty and Majestic) by remaining silent until night, meaning that a person would get up from his sleep at night and remain silent, not speaking, until the sun sets. The Muslims were prohibited from doing this because it leads to abandoning the glorification of Allah, the declaration of His oneness, the praise of Allah, enjoining good and forbidding evil, reciting the Qur'an, and other such things.
Also, it is from the deeds of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah), and for that reason it was prohibited. So it is not permissible for a person to remain silent until night, meaning to be silent and not speak.
And if it happens that someone makes a vow to do this, he does not fulfill his vow; rather, let him break the vow and expiate with the expiation for an oath.
And when a person speaks, he should not speak except with good, due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2500Sahih (Darussalam), and success is from Allah.
