Imam 'Ali ['a.s] says:
"Restrain your tongue more than anything else."
A Short Introduction:
As for the previous hadith, regarding restraining one's body, Imam ['a.s] adds more explanation to it by mentioning this hadith regarding the tongue, that it needs to be restrained more than anything else, or, more than any part of our body.
One may ask, but why the tongue? Well, we all know well that the tongue, or talking, causes alot of problems in a person's life. Backbiting, Lying, Swearing,... all comes from the tongue and not from any other part of our body.
According to another hadith, which I will try to bring later on, has mentioned that silence is the best worship. Therefore, we should rather try to speak less or atleast think everything we wish to say something, especially when we're angry because this causes alot of damage, not to the other person, but first to ourselves.
Insha'Allah, we should try our best practicing this hadith. I hope my explanations are of use. Please do give feedback.
