Al-Samt wa-Adab al-LisanIbn Abi al-Dunya

92 — Hamza also narrated to me: ʿAbdān reported to us; he said: ʿAbd Allāh—may Allah be pleased with him—said, “Tāwūs—may Allah be pleased with him—used to apologize for remaining silent for so long, saying, ‘I have put my tongue to the test and found it utterly ignoble.’”

٩٢ - وَحَدَّثَنِي حَمْزَةُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدَانُ، قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ﵁، كَانَ طَاوُسٌ ﵁ يَعْتَذِرُ مِنْ طُولِ السُّكُوتِ، وَيَقُولُ: «إِنِّي جَرَّبْتُ لِسَانِي فَوَجَدْتُهُ لَئِيمًا رَاضِعًا»
