حَضَرْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ قَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ أَوْصِنِي فَقَالَ لَهُ احْفَظْ لِسَانَكَ تُعَزَّ وَ لَا تُمَكِّنِ النَّاسَ مِنْ قِيَادِكَ فَتُذِلَّ رَقَبَتَكَ .
Translation
From him, from Usman Bin Isa who said, ‘I was present with Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> and a man said to him: ‘Advise me’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘Preserve your tongue, you will be honoured, and do not enable the people into leading you, so your neck would be disgraced’.
