Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37924 — The words of al-Hasan al-Basri
٣٧٩٢٤ - حدثنا أبو أسامة عن يزيد وأبي الأشهب عن الحسن قال: كان يقال: قلب المؤمن وراء لسانه، فإذا هَمّ (أحدكم) (١) بأمر تدبره، فإن كان خيرا تكلم به، وإن كان غير ذلك سكت، وقلب المنافق على طرف لسانه، فإذا هم بشيء تكلم به وأبداه.
It is narrated from al-Hasan that he said: It used to be said: The heart of the believer is behind his tongue. So when one of you intends something, let him reflect on it; if it is a good matter, let him speak it, and if it is otherwise, let him remain silent. And the heart of the hypocrite is at the tip of his tongue: when he intends something, he speaks it and makes it known.
