Chapter 277

What to say if one’s tongue is vulgar

Remembrance 1
WE RELATE IN the books of Ibn Mājah and Ibn as-Sunnī that Ḥudhayfah Honorific symbol reported: “I complained to the Messenger of Allah Honorific symbol about the vulgarity of my tongue. He said: ‘How do you stand with respect to seeking forgiveness? I seek forgiveness from Allah Honorific symbol one hundred times a day.” [1].
I say that dharab has a fatḥah on the dhāl and the rā’. According to Abū Zayd and other philologists, it means vulgarity in one’s language.
