Our Salafus Saaleh Were Very Conscious of The Fact That The Tongue is One of Allaah’s Great Blessings
Imaam Fudayl Ibn Iyaad (may Allaah have mercy upon him) once cried when he read Allaah’s statement:
[أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَل لَّهُ ۥ عَيۡنَيۡنِ- Have We not made for him (i.e. the
human) a pair of eyes?][ وَلِسَانً۬ا وَشَفَتَيۡنِ -And a tongue and a pair of lips?]; then he was asked
why he cried, so he said, “Have you spent a night really thanking Allaah
(for giving) you two eyes by way of which you can see and a tongue by way of
which you speak?!”.
