A truthful tongue purifies deeds
Al-Kāfi|Volume 8|Book 1|Chapter 269
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ مُثَنًّى الْحَنَّاطِ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَا قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) مَنْ صَدَقَ لِسَانُهُ زَكَا عَمَلُهُ وَ مَنْ حَسُنَتْ نِيَّتُهُ زَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي رِزْقِهِ وَ مَنْ حَسُنَ بِرُّهُ بِأَهْلِهِ زَادَ اللَّهُ فِي عُمُرِهِ.
269. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad bin Abu nasr, from Musanna Al-Hannaat and Muhammad Bin Muslim who said: Abu Abdullah عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘The one who is of a truthful tongue, his deeds would be pure, and the one who is of good intention, Allah عز وجل Increases his sustenance, and the one who is kind to his family, Allah عز وجل Increases his life’.
