Hadith 38

(The book) ‘Ma’ani Al Akhbaar’ – ‘My father, from Muhammad Al Attar, from Al Ash’ari, from Musa Bin Umar, from Musa Bin Bakr, from a man, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘A Bedouin came to the Prophet-saww and said to him-saww, ‘Aren’t you-saww the best of us of father and mother and most honourable of us in posterity and our chief during the pre-Islamic period and? ’
The Prophet-saww was angered and he-saww said: ‘O Bedouin! How many veils are there for your tongue? ’ He said, ‘Two lips and teeth’. He-saww said: ‘But was there in anyone of these two what you can limit this tongue of yours from us-saww? But no one has been given in his world anything more harmful to him regarding his Hereafter than freedom of his tongue. O Ali-asws! Arise and cut off his tongue! ’ The people thought he-asws would cut off his tongue, but he-asws gave him Dirhams (money)’’. [39]
