Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38373 — Reports on weeping out of fear
٣٨٣٧٣ - حدثنا أبو أسامة عن أبي الأشهب عن الحسن قال: كانوا يقولون: إن لسان الحكيم من وراء قلبه، فإذا أراد أن يقول رجع إلى قلبه، فإن كان له: قال، ⦗٨٨⦘ وإن كان عليه: أمسك، وإن الجاهل قلبه في طرف لسانه لا يرجع إلى (قلبه) (١)، ما (أتى) (٢) على لسانه (تكلم) (٣) به.
Al-Hasan said: People used to say: The tongue of the wise man is behind his heart (under its control). When he intends to speak, he consults his heart: if it is to his benefit he speaks, and if it is to his harm he stays silent. And the heart of the ignorant man is at the tip of his tongue: he does not consult his heart, and whatever comes to his mouth he says.
