In Al-Mahasin it is narrated that God's Prophet (a.s) said
“Watch your tongue, since this is like giving charity to yourself.” He then said: “You will not experience true faith unless you watch your tongue.”
من كتاب المحاسن: قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): أمسك لسانك فإنها صدقة تتصدق بها على نفسك، ثم قال: ولا يعرف عبد حقيقة الإيمان حتى يخزن لسانه.
