It is narrated from Aslam (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) and saw that he was holding his tongue and pulling it. He asked: "O Khalifah (successor) of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)! What are you doing?" Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "Indeed, this very tongue has brought me to places of ruin, for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'There is no part of the human body except that it complains of the sharpness and excess of the tongue.'"
