Maintaining silence and avoiding hastiness
How much chaos can be prevented by maintaining silence and avoiding hastiness
Abu Haatim said:
الواجب على العاقل أن يلزم الصمت إلى أن يلزمه التكلم،فما أكثر من ندم إذا نطق وأقل من يندم إذا سكت.
What is imperative upon the intelligent (& sane) is to maintain silence until it is a must for him to speak. How many have regretted when they’ve uttered and how few regret when they’ve remained silent.
روضة العقلاء ونزهة الفضلاء (ص43)
