Ramadān Series 🌙 | Soundness of the Heart and Tongue

Al Hakim collected a hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: 

 

“Siyam [fasting] is not only from food and drink, but it is Siyam [abstinence] from evil speech and actions, if anyone was to insult or aggravate you, then say, ‘I am fasting.”

The soundness of the heart and the tongue is from the clearest proofs and most truthful evidences for the completion and perfection o f the fast. The Salaf [Rightly Guided Predecessors] used to consider those who had the soundest tongues and hearts to be the best of them.

The primary purpose of your fast is not solely to abstain from food and drink while your heart breaks it fast with malice, jealousy and enmity towards the servants of Allah, or your tongue breaks its fast with backbiting, tale-carrying, treachery, lying, abuse and insults.
