Al-Hasan Bin Saaleh (rahimahullaah) said: I scrutinised [الورع – apprehensive fear] thoroughly and did it find it more lacking in anything than the tongue.”

[Source: Siyar: 7/368]

NB: The  word [الورع ] translated as ‘apprehensive fear’ was taken from one of Ustaadh Amjad Rafiq’s (may Allaah preserve him) translations.
