Body Protests Against Tongue

The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “There is nothing in the body which does not complain of the sharpness of the tongue.” [Abu Yala]

When I am sharp tongued with others it is my own body that is going to have to suffer the consequences; the punishment of this sin.

It is no wonder then that everyday my whole body protests against the sharpness of my tongue.
