In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: “The one who remains silent is saved”. [Sunan Tirmidhi 2501]

Imam Ibn Abd al-Barr, may Allah have mercy on him, said: “Uttering good, such as remembrance of Allah, Qur’an recitation, and acts of righteousness, are  more virtuous than silence, and similarly uttering truth and reconciling between people, and what is similar to it. As for praiseworthy silence, it is to refrain from falsehood (i.e. false speech). [at-Tamhid 22/20]
