A truthful tongue purifies deeds
1 Ḥadīth

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ مُثَنًّى الْحَنَّاطِ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَا قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) مَنْ صَدَقَ لِسَانُهُ زَكَا عَمَلُهُ وَ مَنْ حَسُنَتْ نِيَّتُهُ زَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي رِزْقِهِ وَ مَنْ حَسُنَ بِرُّهُ بِأَهْلِهِ زَادَ اللَّهُ فِي عُمُرِهِ.


269. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad bin Abu nasr, from Musanna Al-Hannaat and Muhammad Bin Muslim who said: Abu Abdullah (a.s) said: ‘The one who is of a truthful tongue, his deeds would be pure, and the one who is of good intention, Allah (azwj) Increases his sustenance, and the one who is kind to his family, Allah (azwj) Increases his life’.
