Reference: at-Tabsirah libnil-Jowzee – v2, p289 ‘Umar ibn ‘Abdil-‘Azeez رحمه الله said: If you see a man prolong his silence and avoid the people, [then] draw near to him, for [by doing so] he teaches wisdom. Translation originally published on 26 January, 2026
How beautiful silence is in sensitive matters; for how many [people] have we seen whose words have ruined them…
There are no provisions better than taqwa, and nothing is better than silence, and no enemy is more harmful than ignorance, and no illness is more dangerous than telling lies.
