Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Man [‘s worth] is measured according to his two little organs: his heart and his tongue - so that when he fights, he should do so with a firm heart, and when he speaks, he should do so with eloquence.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : المرءُ بأصغَرَيْهِ : بقلبِهِ ولسانِهِ ، إنْ قاتَلَ قاتَلَ بجَنانٍ ، وإن نَطقَ نَطقَ ببَيانٍ.
