Imam Ali (AS) said, Beware of speaking about something whose way you are unfamiliar with and whose reality you are unaware of, for indeed your speech indicates your intellect, and your expression informs about your level of understanding, so limit your long tongue to that which keeps you safe, and make your speech concise to [the extent of] what is deemed good, for indeed this is more beautiful for you and more indicative of your merit.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إيّاكَ وَ الكَلامَ فيما لاتَعْرِفُ طريقَتَهُ وَ لاتَعْلَمُ حَقيقَتَهُ فَإنَّ قَوْلَكَ يَدُلُّ عَلى عَقْلِكَ وَ عِبارَتَكَ تُنْبِئُ عَنْ مَعْرِفَتِكَ فَتَوَقَّ مِنْ طُولِ لِسانِكَ ما أمِنْتَهُ وَ اخْتَصِرْ مِنْ كَلامِكَ مَا اسْتَحْسَنْتَهُ فَإنَّهُ بِكَ أجْمَلُ وَ عَلى فَضْلِكَ أدَلُّ
