No Safety from the Tongue
بِسۡمِ
ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Imam Abu ‘Abdullah Muhammad ibn Idris ash-Shafi’i (r.a.) wrote, in his Diwan:
“Nobody is
safe from the tongues of people,
Even
if he were to be the Prophet so pure.
If one
is silent, they say he is voiceless,
And if
he speaks, they say he talks much.
Were he to fast and stand to pray at night,
They say he is blind, he shows off, he deceives.”
